What is a Contractor Growth Audit?

The Localdesk Contractor Growth Audit is a free 45-minute business audit for construction contractors, held on Zoom. It helps you discover where your construction business is losing enquiries, missing opportunities and wasting valuable time, and we say honestly whether Localdesk fits.

It is for established UK construction and multi-trade contractors, where enquiries and quotes are handled by more than one person. It looks at the work that already comes in. It is not advertising, and it does not find you new leads.

What we look at

The audit covers five areas:

  1. Enquiries. How customers reach you, and what happens to calls, emails and website enquiries when the office is busy or the team is on site.
  2. Quotation follow-up. How quotes are tracked once they go out, who follows them up, and how they know when to do it.
  3. Administration. Where time goes on chasing, re-keying details and keeping track of enquiries and quotes by hand.
  4. Visibility of sales opportunities. Whether you can see, in one place, which enquiries and quotes are still open and what happens next.
  5. Where revenue may be leaking. Enquiries that were never called back, quotes that went quiet and opportunities that went cold.

We ask questions and listen. You do not need to know anything about AI or software.

Where the gaps usually are

Gaps are usually simple: a call the office could not take, an enquiry that sits in one person's inbox, or a quote that went out and was never mentioned again. On the call we look at which of these, if any, apply to your business, using your own figures where you have them.

Whether Localdesk fits

At the end of the call we tell you honestly whether the Contractor Growth System fits your business. If it does, we send you one personalised Contractor Growth Blueprint & Proposal after the call, setting out what we found, what we recommend and what it would cost. If it does not fit, we say so.

What it is not

  • It does not come with anything else. If Localdesk fits, you receive one personalised Contractor Growth Blueprint & Proposal; there are no other deliverables.
  • It is not advertising or lead generation, and it does not bring you new enquiries.
  • It is not legal, tax or financial advice.
  • It does not promise any particular result. Nobody can promise enquiries, jobs or revenue.

How to get the most from the call

You do not need to prepare anything. If you have a minute beforehand, it helps to think about:

  • Roughly how many enquiries you get in a typical week, and how they arrive
  • What happens to a quote after you send it
  • Who in the business follows up, and how they know when

When to book

The audit is held on Zoom and lasts 45 minutes. You can book your free Contractor Growth Audit at a time that suits you.
