The Episodes That Fix What’s Costing You Customers

Look at your last 20 jobs. I will bet most of them came from inside five miles of your front door. That circle is your zone.

Owning it means this. When someone in that circle needs what you do, they think of you first. They find you first. They call you first. Then you call them back before they call anyone else.

There are nine steps to get there. The order matters. Each step makes the next one work. Ads are step five, not step one.

Every episode of the show sits on one of these steps. Below is one episode per step. Pick the step that hurts most and start there.

Step 1: Claim Your Zone

Draw the circle. Decide who you serve and where. Everything else aims at that circle.

Step 2: Know Your Score

Count what is really going on now. Calls, leads, jobs, reviews. You cannot fix what you do not count.
