Would you say that wasting time is a challenge in your business? On the last episode of The DYOJO Podcast, I made a promise that we would dive deeper into this concept of the Letter of Intent (LOI). Contractors often debate on whether they should be Charging for estimates or providing them for free Getting a contract signed before an inspection Or various hybrid approaches For a guest appearance with Ben Ricciardi on the Restoration Rundown podcast, we introduced an approach that we are using in our contracting business; the LOI. In addition to the podcast, Ben also released a book that is an excellent resource for property restoration contractors. The No Bullsh**t Guide To Internet Marketing For Restoration Contractors. The title tells the reader exactly what is in the book. Should Contractors be Charging for Estimates? We discuss some thoughts from various contractors on how they approach estimating. One contractor states, “I've done 14 estimates in four days. And I think it comes with the game, you gotta take the good with the bad, I could never see myself charging someone for an estimate.” Another one says, “I drove two hours to a location, gave him a quote and drove two hours back home client didn't even respond to me.” A contractor raises a good point, “I think of it from a different angle in my business. Why am I not closing these deals?” Follow up with your customers and do your best to close the deal while you are still in the customer's home. “Just writing proposals and hoping people go with you is a recipe for disaster as business owners, we have to sell it and work at it from every angle.” If YOU don't value your time, NO ONE else will. Each contractor has to decide what process works for their organization. One thing that should not be negotiable is a clear and consistent client intake process. Ask your clients consistent and thorough questions so that each time you onboard them you have a clear idea of what you are committing to. Next episode of The DYOJO Podcast and upcoming events: We will share more about the Letter of Intent (LOI) as an approach to qualifying clients We will discuss various approaches with contractors around the country including one controversial approach within the insurance claims industry Our article should be coming out soon in C&R magazine the first in a multi-part series with Ben justice in Anthony Nelson and Edward cross.

Ben didn't accidentally end up in this profession. Better said, he grew up in it. Both sets of his grandparents were cutting-edge entrepreneurs. His father, Peter, still remains a highly sought-after marketing and franchising consultant after having spent years in professional sports where he was recognized as a master promoter and corporate partnership genius. His Mom is an award-winning author, a former film critic, a veteran of professional theater and currently, a writing professor at an acclaimed East Coast University. His brother is the man behind Popular Demand, a street-wear success story, inspired by L.A. and worn throughout the world. Ben credits his family for his 24/7/365 work ethic, his unwillingness to say no to what others would simply consider too challenging and his ability to bring all kinds of people together to ensure the success of any project. Ben began working in pro sports locker rooms at the age of 14. By 16, he was helping his buddies launch a rock band that signed a major record deal with Elektra records before Ben was out of high school. In college, besides being a performer himself, Ben was quickly charged with bringing concerts and other acts to his university. His later stint in professional media sales helped him to further develop his sales and marketing acumen and his deep foray into the national music scene as a successful music manager and promoter helped him build his astonishing network of decision-makers and cultural icons. Ben hasn't made a name for himself just by thinking outside the box. Rather he's known for ignoring ‘the box' all together. He says it best. “It's all about understanding where the end zone is and figuring out how to get there no matter what it takes.” Because of that, Ben, Times10 and their wide array of clients continue to score touchdowns at a record clip.
