Are your Profits Up or Down this year?
why do you think they are Up or Down?
What have you dont right, what have you done wrong?
My Gross sales were down until 30 days ago, now they are up 15% and profit is up 25%. I have switched from 50% new homes to only 25% new homes and thats why I my profit is up more than my gross sales....there is more profit in remodeling than new construction.
I feel most of my success has been
.1 staying on course with my advertising(i keep hammering every contractor monthly with something in the mail)
2. expanding what i do to include service work. I used to give away the minor 1 hour jobs. I dont make much $ on them, but they lead to future work and referrals and you can make a full day out of 4-5 of them..better to make 1/2 your normal $ than Zero!....
I had 2 good months which has brought my #'s up from last year. Is it a trend with the economy? Spring was horrible, usually its busy..i think people just delayed their spring remodeling until summer...they waited 3 extra months to be sure...Fall is usually my best 3 month's....Im looking forward to see how much i can grow my gross sales by then...hopefully i can help Obama out and give him some extra tax $.
