Local service marketing that survives contact with a busy week
3 articles · last updated
A service business does not have a marketing department. It has an owner who is already behind, a phone that rings while everyone is on a job, and a customer list nobody has looked at in a year. Any strategy that assumes otherwise gets abandoned in the second week, no matter how good it was.

A review flow that does not depend on remembering to ask. Something that catches the call nobody could get to.
