Building a Better Business

As someone who is involved in home building on a daily basis, I know that there is a huge business aspect involved. That can get stressful sometimes. Here’s a couple questions I tend to ask myself,

- How do I grow my business?

- How do I keep that business sustainable?

Here are two tips to answer those questions:

1. Build Relationships- Network with those around you. Grow good relationships with people in your industry, your lumber supplier, local hardware store, electrician, plumber, etc. Word of mouth is a potent marketing tool when it comes to building a better business

2. Provide Excellent Customer Service- A positive experience with a customer leads to referrals and repeat business. Your customer service should be exceptional from the first inquiry through completion of project. One way to do so is provide constant communication throughout the entire project. Trust me, it goes a long way.

Should You Build An Online Presence?

I personally have an online presence as you can see, and I find it extremely useful, but should YOU grow an online business?

3 reasons why you should👇🏻

1. Showcase your work/knowledge = Builds Reputation

2. Cost effective marketing ⬆️

3. Feedback for improvement

Now I understand the difficulties of doing something like this. The time investment, lack of technical skills or interest, and a preference to methods of doing business.

I will say it will benefit you and your business by doing so. Finding new customers, growing an audience of people who are interested in what you do, and monetizing opportunities, are just some of the benefits.

Now, what are some steps you can take to start growing a presence online?

• Build a website: Whether its a simple place for customers to contact you, or a place to showcase work.

• Start posting on social media: Post about your latest project, a problem you solved, a tip you have, or something interesting you’d like to share

• Build a shop: Etsy is a great place to sell your products. furniture, crafts, or even plans you have rendered

Although there is a sacrifice, the return will be well worth it. If you have questions, Email me or follow me on X: https://x.com/buildbetternews?s=21
