When building a business your best work is not necessarily the work you do in the field it actually starts before you start the job. When potential clients call they want to hear the most professional company over the phone. Also, when you show up to give your estimate you have to make the best effort to prove that you are the best contractor for the job.
The interview starts right at the first telephone call. The interview is key for being successful at winning the job. It is also the first time to explain to the customer on how you do business. One professional tool for helping to secure customers and to show that you are a professional business is the contract. Contracts help you establish all the ground work before starting the job. They also legally secure you in to providing the work and for getting paid. When you explain to a customer what is in your contract and how it protects your business and how it protects them, this will show them that you are a legitimate business. Good customers do not mind signing the extra paperwork and setting through the contract explanation. You may not always get the job but at least you can show your potential clients that you are a serious business contender.
We have put together some ideas to help you start working more professionally. These contracts are just samples and should not be used unless looked over by your lawyer. Our only request is that you log on to our site to download them. If you already have a contract and would like to donate your time and effort for others we would be willing to post them on our site.
