The home services industry is going through an interesting time. GCs, landscape contractors, roofing and siding contractors, kitchen design firms, architects, and interior designers are all facing stiff competition and ever decreasing margins.

With the target market for these businesses doing all their research and decision making online, effective marketing for contractors and the sales process have both completely changed. Today's buyer is extremely educated and now has all the power in the sales process. That's right—ALL the power. 

So what exactly are home services professionals to do? 

The community of 40 million monthly users on Houzz.com makes the site worth considering for landscape contractors. The popular site is frequently visited by homeowners in search of inspiration for their next home improvement project, and professionals showcasing their work are there to be found and for their services to be seen.

When thinking about winning bids with prospects, many home services professionals find themselves thinking about how to be more effective in the sales process; first do a little connecting, asking, and so forth. You don’t design a service just because you like it (without consideration about the buyer), so why would you use a selling process without the consideration of the buyer? We challenge you to start thinking about selling – from the buyer's perspective (essential foundation to inbound marketing).

How exactly does the buyer think?
