Landscaping Lead Generator
Design-build and maintenance firms live on a steady book of work, and sales is one of the hardest seats in the industry to fill. You knock the street around a job the crew is already on, follow up on web enquiries, and book the estimator's visits. No experience needed and no shovel involved.
What you'd actually do
- Canvass streets around active job sites where the work is visible
- Respond to web and phone enquiries the same day
- Qualify property, scope, and budget before booking
- Book site visits for the estimator and keep the CRM current
