2. Balance customer care with profitability
Providing five-star customer service is essential for receiving positive reviews and generating new and repeat business. But it can be challenging to balance the costs of providing a top-notch service with the need to post a profit with every project. Our platform offers a range of tools and resources that optimise operations, so resources can be devoted to areas that provide the most impact.
Project tracking and client communication and collaboration are easier with Houzz Pro. The platform helps pros to stay organised, reduce manual paperwork, and improve communication with clients, all while maximising profitability.
“I like the client engagement and communication in Houzz Pro. You can take notes and keep track of any files, so anytime we make a change, clients can access their client dashboard and see adjustments made in real time. It cuts down on the number of steps we need to take to keep clients engaged and involved in the process,” says Wade Rosenburg of HomeWork DFW
3. Access data-driven marketing and advertising
When it comes to marketing and advertising, many renovation and design pros don’t know where to start. With so much competition, it can be tough to stand out and get noticed by potential customers. Houzz Pro is here to help. By signing up for a free trial, professionals get access to numerous marketing and advertising tools designed specifically for those working in the home improvement industry. Use Houzz Pro to create a premium Houzz profile that showcases your work and makes it stand out when homeowners in the Houzz community search for pros in their area.
Also gain access to local targeted advertising options to reach your desired audience. “As a small, relatively new business, I like that I can target the areas I want to work in with Houzz Pro. It made sense to advertise where I already had a presence. [Houzz Pro] generates leads and has already paid for itself this year,” says Ray Whitaker of RS Whitaker.
Not only that, but you can also use customisable templates to create visually stunning newsletters and email campaigns that keep your business at the forefront of your clients’ minds while also attracting new customers. And because reviews are essential in the home improvement industry, Houzz Pro makes managing, collecting, and responding to them a breeze. Plus, the Insights & Analytics built into Houzz Pro inform those marketing and advertising efforts, allowing you to make data-driven decisions that improve results.
4. Organise the sales process
Generating leads and closing deals is the lifeblood of any business, and Houzz Pro makes the sales process more efficient. Easily manage and track leads, organise and prioritise them based on their stage in the process, and communicate with potential clients directly from the platform. The project management tools make it simpler to create proposals and estimates faster, and to send invoices and track payments.
“Before using Houzz Pro, I was using a combination of Word, Excel, brain power and handwritten notes. Houzz Pro has helped me wrangle the details. Since everything I need for a project is linked together, all the minutiae is in one place,” says Alison Reuter of A/Revelation designs. By using Houzz Pro, you can streamline your sales process, improve your communication with potential clients, and close more deals in less time.
