Best for Owner-led contractors

Construction, outdoor living, trades, and home-service teams with real lead flow or meaningful job values.

Checks Lead-to-job follow-up

Lead intake, first response, qualification, estimate follow-up, stale opportunities, and owner visibility.

Use it when More marketing feels risky

If you are unsure the current leads are being worked, this gives you a cleaner starting point.

Why This Matters

A contractor can spend more on Google ads, referrals, website work, SEO, or lead providers and still lose jobs if the current lead-to-job path is unclear. The leak usually happens in ordinary places: missed calls, weak intake notes, estimates without follow-up dates, old opportunities nobody reviews, or an owner trying to keep the whole sales process in their head.

This scorecard is not a perfect audit. It is a fast way to see whether your lead follow-up system is strong enough to support more demand.

What Your Score Means

0-8

Hidden leak likely

Your current leads may be worth more than your next batch of leads. Start by making ownership and next steps visible.

9-16

Follow-up is inconsistent

You probably have pieces of a system, but the rhythm is not dependable enough to support more demand cleanly.

17-24

Solid base to optimize

You have the foundation. The next move is tighter review, better messaging, and clearer improvement metrics.

What To Fix First

If your score is low, do not start with a full CRM rebuild. Start with one operating rule: no lead leaves the day without a next step. Then pick one visible review point for new leads, open estimates, and stale opportunities. The goal is not more admin. The goal is making paid-for opportunities harder to forget.
