Actionable Key Takeaways for Trade Operators:

• Scheduling software is the heartbeat of operations. If you implement efficiency tools and automation, especially in processes like scheduling and CRM, your business will grow and improve drastically.
• To become a master at CRM, you have to nurture your leads, customers, and workflows. If you don’t already focus on CRM, this requires a significant pivot.
• Before focusing on getting more leads or customers (which requires money!), try to nurture the ones you already have so they convert and stay loyal.
• Many of the basics of Yellow Pages advertising have carried through to modern digital advertising. Ranking and keywords are just as important.
