What’s at Stake & 3 Ways to Become a Digital Leader
Homeowners are using technology everyday so it’s becoming more and more valuable for contractors to meet homeowners where they are, digitally. People are using more and more technology in their kitchens and bathrooms including smart TV’s, doorbells, and even refrigerators. In KBB, the Official Publication of NKBA & KBIS, Leap CEO Patrick Fingles said, “A carefully considered digital foundation can help you transform your current business, delivering a customer experience to help you connect data, people, and processes; reduce project errors; and seamlessly flow data from one means to the next.”
So, what’s at stake if you choose the more “archaic” way to sell in the home?
In short, money and time. Not just your money and time, but your customer’s too. Oftentimes, we’ll talk to kitchen and bath remodelers, and they say, “I use digital tools.” And when asked which ones, they respond with, “we use documents for contracts and spreadsheets for estimates.” Spreadsheets and paper contracts have since been transformed to software solutions that are more enhanced, affordable, interactive and scalable. You no longer need to live in spreadsheet or paper hell for hours on end, drive to the home to collect payment and hand-deliver documents.
Simply Sell Your Services & Products the Modern Way
Selling kitchen and bath services and products have changed. Kitchen and bath remodelers want efficient processes and higher sales margins, but old-school systems are holding them back. Leap is a simple tool that kitchen and bath remodelers use to manage all aspects of your in-home sales process including creating estimates, generating proposals and contracts, creating work orders and tech measure sheets. You can also submit and get approval of financing, collect credit card payments and check capturing, and e-signatures!
