No Cost Ways To Book Jobs (without being a marketing expert)

Are you worried about the gaps coming up in your calendar? 

It’s bloody stressful when you’re about to run out of work. 

You don’t want your guys standing around doing nothing, so you find something for them to do. 

But it doesn't make you money. 

Another problem with holes in your schedule is cash flow. 

When it’s off, you're in for a whole world of pain. 

You lose sleep thinking, “How am I going to pay the bills?” 

You don’t want to downsize your team, but you might have to... 

And you lose confidence to grow the business because you’re not sure you’ll have enough work to do it. 


You wait for the phone to ring – hoping word of mouth will spread – but it doesn’t.  

And that’s when desperation sets in.  

You start throwing stuff at the wall. 

Doing whatever it takes to get new jobs. 

Maybe some telemarketer tries to sell you a bogus scheme to get you new jobs. 

You throw good money at it, but of course, it doesn’t work. 

Or maybe you drop your prices, but that’s a race to the bottom. 

With the economy the way it is, some of your competitors will also drop their prices. 

Soon it all ratchets down till you hit bargain basement. 

But it’s not all doom and gloom.  

There are plenty of ways to fill your calendar with jobs without spending a buck... 

And that’s what Phil and I cover in our latest episode.
