You pay to reach homeowners, yet some work still slips away. Calls reach voicemail. Website visitors cannot find how to contact you. Estimates go quiet, and past customers forget to call again. Missing details or follow-up can cost you time and chances for work.
ScaleUp Simple helps you find where those jobs slip away and choose what to fix first. Use a free calculator below, read the estimate guide or ask Brian about your business. Start with the people you already reach before paying for more leads.
A revenue leak is a chance for work that slips away. It could start with a call, a website visit, an estimate or a past customer.
Help customers reach you, decide on the work and remember you next time. We look at four stages: Capture → Convert → Reactivate → Retain.
A homeowner calls while your crew is working or after hours. If nobody answers, you may miss the chance to get their name, contact details and service need.
Someone visits your service page but cannot find your area, phone number or a clear way to request help. Or a homeowner has a current quote, but questions or an unclear next step leave the job unbooked.
A past customer may need seasonal or repeat service but has not heard from you. Older leads and estimates that have gone quiet may also be worth revisiting.
Revenue recovery does not stop when the first job is done. Follow-up, reviews, referrals, maintenance reminders, and good service can turn one job into a longer customer relationship.
Before buying more leads, look at what happens when homeowners call, visit your site, receive an estimate, or need repeat service. A gap at any point may be worth fixing first.
Find where work slips away. Choose the fix that matters most. Then decide whether you need more leads.

The same leak does not have the same value for every contractor. What you should fix first depends on your trade, location, season, call volume, follow-up, reviews, and the size of the leak.
Brian reviews the facts and recommends what to fix first. A computer score does not make the decision.
These four stages help us decide what to look at. They are not four service packages. Some gaps are best fixed by your own team or someone you already work with.
We do not sell a ready-made service for every area listed. Website and past-customer services have a defined scope agreed for each business.
Other Revenue Recovery Resources: Invoices, collections, unbilled work and job margins may also matter, but they are not part of these four starting points.
Revenue recovery means winning back work that slipped away. That can be missed calls, website visitors who left, unanswered estimates or past customers you haven’t contacted. Then you choose which one to fix first.
Buying leads brings in new people. Revenue recovery starts with the calls, website visits, estimates and past customers you already have. Fixing a gap there may be worth doing before you pay for more leads.
Not necessarily. We first look at how you handle calls, website requests, estimates and past customers today. Then we discuss fixes that work with your current phone, schedule and software.
Start with the problem you see most. The free calculators cover missed calls, website visitors and past customers. For open estimates, read the follow-up guide. A 15-minute call with Brian is optional.
