AVOID THESE MISTAKES WHEN RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS

Jun 09, 2021

If your business does one of the following, you are limiting your opportunities, revenue, and growth:

 

1. PAPER RECORD KEEPING. If you still write your invoices, proposals, and appointments using pen and paper, you are behind. This business approach is not sustainable. It makes you spend unnecessary time, energy, and resources. In addition to that, you want to earn your client’s respect and show them you mean business. Studies show that clients, when given a choice, tend to go with the companies that are tech savvy and use technology when generating invoices and providing quotes. participants explained that hand-written invoices and quotes made the company look less experienced, not as successful and less trustworthy. Be it plumbing software, hvac software or pest control software, your business needs to find a program that works best for you.

 

2. NOT ACCEPTING CREDIT CARDS. How much business have you turned down only because your company does not accept credit cards? These businesses think small and miss out on major sales opportunities. The main reason some companies still do not accept this form of payment is the high credit card processing fees. Shop around, not all merchant services charge the same fee. If you accept your payments through Orcatec software, for example, you get the lowest rate in the industry. As a bonus, this software can be adapted to the industry you are in. So if you decide to switch to a hvac software, plumbing software, pool service and repair software, we can help.

 

3. DELAYED PROPOSAL CREATION & PRESENTATION. If you don’t give your client a proposal right on the spot, you drastically decrease your chances of closing that sale. That rate keeps dropping with every day that passes after your initial appointment. It is best practice to have your proposal presented in your initial appointment, while the client is still interested and excited. This will also give you an opportunity to address client’s questions and concerns, adjust a price or change the terms of the project right then and there. This makes it much easier to move that appointment into a closed sale. Orcatec software for contractors provides all the tools necessary to create customizable proposals while you are still talking to your client. Check out orcatec.com to see how this software can take your business to the next level.
