Which way to reach us

• Call if you want to talk it through now. If we can't pick up, leave a short message with your name, business and a good time to call back.
• Text if you're on a job site or in the truck. A few lines is plenty, and you can send photos or screenshots.
• Email if you want to send more detail, such as your job numbers, an old marketing report or a list of the towns you serve.

Whichever you choose, you'll talk to a senior strategist, not a call centre.

What to include in your first message

Each of these details makes our first answer more specific to your towns and your trade. None of it is required.

1. Your trade and your business name
2. Where you work: your home base and the towns or Winnipeg community areas you serve
3. Your average job value, roughly
4. Your busy and slow months
5. Where work comes from now: Google, referrals, builders, repeat customers, ads
6. What you've tried before, and what did or didn't work

Here is a template you can copy and fill in:

"Hi, this is [Your name] from [Business name]. We're a [trade] company based in [Town], serving [towns or areas]. Our average job is about [$ amount]. Most of our work comes from [source]. We'd like more [type of job] in [area]. Can we talk?"

What happens next

1. We reply, usually within one business day, by the channel you used.
2. We set up a short call at a time that suits you, often early evening for owners on the tools during the day.
3. We look at your market before the call: your Google profile, website, reviews and the competitors customers compare you with in your towns.
4. The free consultation: 30 minutes on your numbers, your towns and what we'd do first. If we don't think we can help, we'll say so.
5. A written proposal, if it makes sense, with the plan, the costs and the reporting spelled out.

There is no obligation at any stage.

Before you contact us, a quick self-check

Even if you never hire us, these five checks are worth ten minutes:

• Search your main service and your town on your phone. Do you appear in the map results?
• Open your Google profile. Is the primary category right, and are your hours current?
• Count your reviews from the last 12 months, and compare with your two closest competitors.
• Call your own business number after hours. What does a customer hear?
• Ask your office how many new jobs last month came from referrals, and from whom.

Our services page explains what to do with the answers, and the areas page covers how plans differ across Manitoba.

When a call is the better choice

Some things are faster to say than to type. If you are weighing a move from Winnipeg work into a regional town, or the other way round, or you have a busy season starting within a few weeks, a phone call usually saves a round of messages. Have your job software or last year's invoices open if you can; ten minutes with real numbers beats an hour of guessing.

If you prefer to keep things in writing, that is fine too. Email lets you attach screenshots of your Google profile, an old agency report or a list of your referral partners, and we can reply with specific questions rather than general ones.
