Hey all,
I am new to the restoration business- started as an estimator and promoted to the Marketing department where I am still in training. Naturally, I've been observing our other marketing associates methods, we have a plumber marketer and an agent/contractor marketer. I've noticed that our PLM marketer struggles with the fact that many plumbers do not have storefronts. She claims that they are not receptive and "don't have time" to meet with her or blow her off - I don't find this hard to believe as my father-in-law is a plumber in the northeast and has had his business 20+years, operates from his home, and would be very irritated if some young female was randomly calling him or sending him texts for a referral relationship or trying to bring him doughnuts to a job site :/ -
therefore, her opportunities are limited unless she runs into them at the supply house. I know the company I work for is unique in our area as we have a water mitigation and restoration division, a pack-out division, carpet cleaning, AND a rug servicing department - I have all the tools but can use additional instructions on how to safely use them! I would like to be able to connect with these plumbers (and septic companies) in a way that is respectable and not a nuisance or host events that are worthwhile attending and where we can provide a service to them as well. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or advice!
