Why Your Close Rate Is Stuck at 30%

You show up to the estimate.

Nice house.

Motivated buyer.

They're ready to spend $15K-25K on their backyard.

You walk the property.

Take notes.

Sketch some ideas.

Write up a detailed quote.

"I'll send this over tonight. Let me know if you have questions!"

You leave.

They smile and wave.

Then... nothing.

They ghost you.

Or they come back 2 weeks later: "We went with someone else."

You lost the job before you even left their driveway.

Sound familiar?

Here's what happened

They couldn't see it.

You described pavers, retaining walls, new plantings. You told them it would look amazing.

But they couldn't PICTURE it.

So when your competitor showed up with a mockup (even a rough one), suddenly THEY could see their dream yard. They sold the dream before they even left the driveway.

Your competitor wasn't better. Their price wasn't lower. They just made it visual and closed the deal on the spot.
