Helping Houston Trades Get New Leads and Run Smoothly

You started your business to do the work you are great at. Not to chase leads, answer every call, manage every detail, and worry about next month's revenue.

I put local trades — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and contractors — in front of new Houston homeowners "before" the competition, then set up systems so the business runs without you drowning in follow-up and admin

Does Any of This Feel Like Your Business Right Now?

You got into this business because you're good at what you do. The business side — the marketing, the follow-up, the chaos — that was never part of the plan.

💸

You're Bleeding Money on Shared Leads

Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack — you pay $30, $50, sometimes $80+ for a lead that's being sent to 4 other companies at the exact same moment. You're in a race to the bottom before you even say hello. The platform profits. You stress.

📱

Leads Ghost You Before You Even Call Back

The average lead goes cold within 5 minutes of submitting a request. You're on a roof. You're under a sink. You can't answer every call the moment it comes in. By the time you do, they've moved on. This isn't your fault — but it IS costing you thousands.

🎩

You're Wearing Every Single Hat

Tech, salesperson, scheduler, marketer, bookkeeper, customer service. You started this to do the work you love — not to drown in everything around it. Something has to give.

📊

You Have No Idea What's Actually Working

Facebook ads, Google, yard signs, Nextdoor, Angi — you're throwing things at the wall. You can't measure ROI. You don't have time to figure it out between jobs. It feels like a black hole.

📅

Feast or Famine — Every Month

One month you're slammed, the next it's crickets. There's no predictable pipeline. You can't plan, can't hire, can't breathe. This isn't what building a business was supposed to feel like.

😤

Every "Solution" Costs More and Delivers Less

You've tried the agencies, the CRMs, the marketing gurus. They promise the moon, disappear after you sign, and send you a monthly report you can't decode. You deserve better than that.

You're not alone. And you're not failing.

The system is broken — not you. You don’t need more shared leads. You need the right leads from new movers and a system that turns them into consistent, predictable jobs.

The Solution

New Leads + Systems That Work While You Work

I combine Welcome Wagon’s new-homeowner advantage with MyCORE systems that are set up, customized, and managed for your trades business. No headaches with our high tech and high touch solutions. You stay in the field.

Bruce Williams owns an HVAC business and kept missing calls from his advertising while he was out on the jobsite — by the time he called back, sometimes days later, the customer had already chosen someone else. He tried an AI bot to field calls and set appointments, but it kept booking unqualified, even "ghost" appointments that wasted his time and money. Since switching to our human-qualified appointment setting, he's thrilled with the results.
