Level 1 Resources

Whether you’re looking to increase your revenue by 20% this year or dreaming of building a multi-million dollar contracting business, the journey starts with mastering your marketing at Level 1. The resources below are specifically curated to help you overcome the unique challenges of a Level 1 contracting business and set the foundation for your next phase of growth.

Understanding Your Challenges

We Get It: The Survival Stage Is Tough

As a Level 1 contractor with revenue under $5M, you’re wearing all the hats in your business. You’re the estimator, the project manager, the accountant, and often the labor force too. While your competitors might be sleeping, you’re up late handling paperwork after a full day on the job site.

Your Challenges are Unique:

  • Finding reliable leads without blowing your limited marketing budget
  • Managing your time when everything seems urgent
  • Competing against larger companies with bigger advertising budgets
  • Building your reputation from the ground up
  • Handling the feast-or-famine cycle of work
  • Deciding which marketing tactics actually deliver ROI for your business
  • Figuring out if and when to hire your first employees
 
Most marketing agencies don’t understand these challenges—they’re too busy chasing larger clients. But at FatCat Strategies, we specialize in helping contractors exactly like you.
