Scope creep starts with β€œjust one small favor” and can quickly eat into your profit. Protect your margins: document every change and get a signed change order before work begins. What’s your biggest scope creep story?

A contractor with better work was losing bids to a competitor with more Google reviews and before/after photos. Good work isn't enough anymore, people need proof before they call.

#ContractorLife #LocalBusiness

Talked to a contractor last month who was losing bids to a competitor with objectively worse work.

The difference? The competitor had before/after photos on their site and 40 Google reviews. My contact had neither, just word of mouth.

Good work isn't enough anymore. People need proof before they'll call.
