Let’s build something meaningful together.
"Nobody wants to look in the mirror and say: 'I am the fault. My company is not growing.'"
At Eiden Group, our study of high-growth contractors reveals a blunt truth: the difference between a $1M "job" and a $30M "enterprise" isn't the economy it's the infrastructure. If your growth has plateaued, you aren't facing a market problem, you are facing a Leadership and Intake System failure.
Many contractors treat marketing as an expense rather than fuel. To scale a roofing, HVAC, or plumbing business in 2026, you must bet against the rising costs of Google and Facebook. The Aggregator Hedge: While most complain about "bad leads" from aggregators, the elite firms managed by Eiden Group are spending $250k-$300k per month on these platforms and winning. The Invisible Touch: Facebook is now the premier driver of brand awareness. For every three phone touches, one is on a social app. If your brand isn't there, your Google Search presence is significantly less effective.
The biggest leakage in home services is not "bad leads" it is incompetent inbound systems. Our data shows that an average lead requires aggressive engagement to convert into a booked appointment. The Eiden Rule: 10 touches in the first 24 hours. 17 touches in the first 7 days. If your team is not reaching out at this frequency, you aren't "respecting the customer" you are losing them. The cost per lead in competitive markets like HVAC or Roofing is too high to allow for a passive follow-up.
Imagine walking into a pizza shop. If you wait five minutes to be served, you leave. If the shop doesn't offer you wings or a drink (the upsell), they lose the margin. The System Failure: Most contractors pay for the lead (the customer walking in) but fail the service (the intake). The Solution: You need Speed-to-Lead technology (Hatch, Chirp, ServiceTitan) integrated with a 24/7 intake desk that treats a lead like a 60-second emergency.
Scaling requires "fast growth" where you may lose money for the first 6 months. This is an investment in market share. Revenue Accountability: Success is found in tweaking the dials: close rates, install speed, and lead-to-appointment ratios. The Professional Salesperson: A high-level producer doesn't want a salary, they want the commission-only upside that comes from an Eiden-managed lead machine.
In the modern HVAC and Home Service space, consumers demand instant gratification. Eiden Group implements Instant Quote Generators that leverage AI to give pricing in seconds. This captures the "Bottom 2%" the high-intent buyers who are ready to book now preventing them from ever calling your competitor.
