Construction & trades

Jobs, not luck

For businesses of two to twenty people in doors, windows, solar, timber construction, interior fit-out and natural stone: visible to building owners and architects, quotes that get followed up, and a network that brings in work.

What we see in the industry

Referrals first, then Google

Three things we keep seeing at Swiss Solar Group, De Zanet and small trade businesses. More in the magazine →

01

The network is the sales team

Architects, general contractors, planners and other trades bring most of the work. Stay on their mind and you need less advertising.

02

Owners still check online

Even when the referral comes from the architect, the building owner looks at references, photos and reviews first.

03

The quote decides

Many jobs aren’t lost on price but because nobody follows up after the quote.

What we solve

Where small businesses lose jobs

Rarely on the craft. Usually on time: the owner writes quotes in the evening, and nobody does the marketing.

Today

With us

Quotes go unanswered

A simple routine: quote, reminder, call. And quotes that come together faster with templates and AI.

References are invisible

Finished projects with photos on your website and Google profile, so owners and architects see what you can do.

A network without a system

Architects, planners and partner trades in the CRM, with a reason to follow up instead of chance contacts.

The wrong enquiries

Campaigns for the jobs and regions you actually want: renovations rather than small repairs, if that’s your business.

Questions from trade businesses

Before you call

There are only three of us. Is it worth it?

Especially then. When the owner writes quotes in the evening and nobody does the marketing, that’s where most jobs are lost. That is exactly the part we take on.

Our work comes through architects and general contractors. Do we need advertising?

Often less than you think. What matters more is that your network doesn’t forget you and that your references convince online. Advertising pays off mainly for private customers.

How large does the ad budget need to be?

To start, we recommend at least CHF 1,000 a month, paid directly to the platforms.

Do you also help with quotes and processes?

Yes. We set up templates and small tools with Claude, for example for quotes or project planning, and show your team how to work with them.
