3 Ways To Still Grow Your Business During COVID-19

Your #1 focus as a home improvement contractor is to work on customers’ homes. What happens when going into those homes to present your designs or estimates is not an option under the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic?

There are 3 easy ways you can leverage virtual techniques to measure, estimate, sell, present, close, and collect payments; all from the comfort of your couch. Keep your business running smoothly and safely, and give your customers the kind of satisfaction to which they are accustomed. By conducting your entire sales process remotely, your customers will appreciate the level of respect for their safety you show them. In the current restrictive landscape, this will result in more new and repeat satisfied customers.

Collect Remote Measurements & Create Estimates

For exterior contractors, the ability to measure roofing, siding, gutters, windows, pools, decking, and fencing without ever setting foot on a homeowner’s property could be a huge advantage to your business. Using technology to collect measurements from EagleView, Hover, or any of One Click Contractor’s proprietary measurement tools inside the platform (at no additional cost), can help you stand out from your competition.

Once measurements have been collected, you can easily pull in measurements and push them to estimates with one click. Using One Click Contractor’s platform, you can finish an estimate in record time using remote measuring technology and our digital sales productivity tool. 

Virtual Selling

It may sound too good to be true, but it really is possible to sell your jobs remotely from the comfort of your couch. Virtually present options, discuss designs, and finalize the estimate, all while practicing social distancing. This additional sensitivity around the current COVID-19 crisis allows you to still grow your business while respecting the homeowner’s safety and eliminating the need for a face-to-face meeting to discuss working on their home.

You also get the added benefit of screen share included free with your One Click Contractor subscription. This enables you to leverage the same platform you use today to measure, estimate and close jobs, but do it in a new and much faster way!

Close the Job & Collect Payment Digitally

You’ve presented your customers with their options, included a customized estimate, and emailed them a beautiful agreement. You’ve put in the hard work and done all the right steps in the sales process. Now it’s time to use all your tools and close the deal.

Through the One Click Contractor platform, homeowners can easily sign their agreements digitally through emailing legally-binding signatures. Once the agreement is signed, contractors can use the same platform to effortlessly collect payments and offer financing with the click of a button. Create efficiencies and improve cash flow, including your presentation of financing options—all done remotely.
