Tech Toolbox for Contractors - SEO, CRM, VOIP and Marketing
59Thanks for visiting our hub!
Our goal is to provide simple, useful, cutting edge knowledge that can be applied to everyday businesses by everyday people. CRM (Customer Relationship Management), SEO (Search Engine Optimization), VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and Marketing Automation are tools for businesses to build their businesses and brands. The effective use of those tools is a learned discipline and requires on-going training and education in the art of creating and maintaining your business model.
When I'm referring to maintaining your business model, I'm referring to adjusting for the market and optimizing every angle of your business to maximize the low hanging fruit of opportunities. Trends, news, events, new competition or technology entering the market, all these types of things affect the outcome of a businesses marketing and sales efforts so it's important to stay in tune with the latest and most up to date knowledge. As they say with most things, Preventative maintenance is the cheapest maintenance...in this case, it could mean famine or flourish.
This hub covers topics like these, with a focus on building contractors as the main audience. The writer of this hub is also himself a General and Electrical Contractor.
