And given this problem most small bath remodeling and bathtub to shower conversion companies end up doing what everyone else does\u2026and that is\u2026.<\/p><h3>They buy leads from lead gen sites (Home Advisors, Houzz, and Porch to name a few).<\/h3><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/dealers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tip-8-Home-advisor-logo.png\" alt=\"Tip 8 Home advisor logo | Innovate Building Solutions #BathroomRemodel #BathroomRemodelingContractors #ShowerRemodel #WetRoomRemodel\" width=\"900\" height=\"973\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1270 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/dealers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tip-8-Home-advisor-logo.png 900w, https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/dealers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tip-8-Home-advisor-logo-832x900.png 832w, https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/dealers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tip-8-Home-advisor-logo-768x830.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>And then do you know what they do next? They complain about how it\u2019s a \u2018fight to the bottom\u2019 to close these leads. They complain how they need to call back IMMEDIATELY (even if they\u2019re in the middle of installing a job) to get an appointment and get up to the plate to quote jobs. They complain everybody and their brother (and their brother\u2019s brother) also bought this same lead.<\/p><p>And why shouldn\u2019t these leads be a bloody mess. Lead gen companies make money selling the leads to as many companies as they can get away with.<\/p><p>The question is how can you get strong enough to eliminate lead buying platforms where you\u2019re fighting it out with so many other companies?<\/p><p>Well, the key is to build your own \u2018private\u2019 audience. And how can you do this? Begin the long, hard journey of creating your own content.<\/p><p>Maybe this content are blogs posts which position your expertise. Or maybe you\u2019ll build your audience through your social media following. Or maybe you\u2019ll build your audience through referral programs.<\/p><p>But \u2013 whatever you do \u2013 if you want to play with the \u2018David\u2019 companies of the market, you NEED TO STOP duking it out with the \u2018smaller companies\u2019 who are buying the same leads as you are (and low-balling the job to get the work). This will take going beyond the \u2018easy-way-out\u2019 strategy (\u2018er buying leads) to creating your own unique leads. It\u2019s not easy (or quick). However, it is the truest road to more profitable leads and sales.<\/p><h2><strong>Tip #9 \u2013 Rub elbows with the best in your local market<\/strong><\/h2><p>It\u2019s pretty hard to \u2018scale\u2019 a business if you try to do it in isolation.
