There’s a good chance you’re murdering your contractor marketing efforts right now, and YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IT. You’re saying things you THINK are profound and different, but in reality, they simply ARE NOT. Experienced. High Quality. Best Materials. Giving Customers What They Want. Best Warranty. In your mind, this stuff sounds awesome. To your prospects, it sounds like Charlie Brown’s mother: Wah, wa, wa, wa, wah, wa waaaaa. It’s completely expected; it makes no impact whatsoever.

Your company looks like everyone else’s; you sound like everyone else, and you put off the same “vibe” as everyone else—even if you’re really good at what you do. Don’t believe me? Pull up your website right now, then pull up the home improvement websites of 8 or 10 competitors. Guess what? Pretty much all the same. That’s bad.


The key to breaking through the clutter is to focus in on your company’s unique IDENTITY so you STAND OUT. You’ve got to instantly demonstrate who you are, what you stand for, what customers can expect, and why they should choose you instead of any of your competitors. Once your identity is determined, then you’ve got learn to communicate with power, precision, and passion.

For example, a kitchen remodeler’s website might have a picture of a nice looking kitchen say “high quality remodeling.” That sounds okay, but everyone would expect that picture and that phrase. What if instead they put a close-up picture of the remodeler’s serious face (not smiling) with a headline that says: “If you’re persnickety, demanding, hard to please, and picky, then I’m the right remodeler for you. I am not the fastest. I am not the cheapest. I am, however, according to my customers, the best.” Bingo—IDENTITY… with power, precision, and passion.

YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO DO ALL THE ABOVE ON THIS WEBINAR. You’ll see the example above and dozens more like it of “doing it wrong” and then, by contrast, “doing it right.” You’ll come away with an intense conviction that you’re falling short right now (sorry, but 99.5% of companies are), but you’ll have a clear picture of what to do and how to get where you want to be. You’ll be surprised at how easy this is to do, and what a profound impact this will make in all of your contractor marketing efforts—including your website, advertisements, brochures, home shows, and everything else. It all starts with a powerful, clearly articulated IDENTITY.
