Remodeler Sales Strategies in a Down Market
With the housing market in the midst of an extended down cycle, it's a good time to evaluate the way you do things within your company. With leads and sales down in the remodeling industry, you may want to consider altering your sales strategies to make sure the company survives.
Who is Your Next Customer?
Merillat interviews consumers to reveal key insights into homeowners' attitudes and decision-making processes. Information can be valuable to remodeling firms in formulating their sales and marketing strategies.
Generation X: The new driving force behind the remodeling market
With their higher spending habits, the members of Generation X are poised to become the largest portion of the remodeling market by 2015. Remodelers can learn ways to reach this very different age group as baby boomers age and slow their spending.
Hire with personality
There's only so much a job interview can tell you about a prospective hire. "People can tell me whatever they think I want to hear when I'm interviewing them," says David Heaney, president of Rockland Architecture and Rockland Builders of Newport, Del. That's why Heaney uses personality profiles for anyone who interviews for a job with his high-end remodeling firm.
Growth Market
Last year was a good one for remodelers, as Professional Remodeler's Business Results Survey found the highest average volume and profits in the survey's history. The average company in our exclusive industry survey has now been in business for 19 years, has 20 employees and has an annual installed volume of $4.
Fine-Tune Your Marketing Plan
Your strategic marketing plan begins with becoming very clear about what you are selling and what your unique selling proposition (USP) is. To have a successful business, you will need to put a marketing plan in place to generate quality leads to achieve your budgeted sales revenue, gross profit margin, the salary you desire and net profit.
