Guides, updates, and insights for trades businesses.
A customer leaves a voicemail and hears nothing for two days. Another gets a quick text within the hour. Which one books the job? A practical look at following up when you're working with your hands.
You sent the quote and heard nothing. Following up feels awkward, so most contractors don't, and quietly lose jobs they could have won. Here's a calm, practical approach.
Tradrux only sees the messages you choose to send it. Here's how to decide what to forward, how to start small, and how to stop whenever you like.

You don't have time to read every message twice. Here's a simple five-minute routine for sorting what matters from what can wait, even with sawdust on your phone.
