For 15 years, LeafGuard relied on a single financing provider. As approval rates declined, qualified opportunities were slipping away and sales reps were losing deals they should have been winning.

Rather than being tied to one lender’s underwriting criteria or a single credit bureau, they started giving customers access to multiple lenders through a single application process.

The results:
1) Approval rates jumped from 60% to 80%
2) Financed jobs came in about $1,000 higher than cash sales.
3) Close rate is almost double, now sitting at 42%.

According to LeafGuard's forecast, the 1LOOK® program will drive more than $20 million in incremental sales in the back half of the year.

A storm hits. Your phone starts ringing. 300 calls come in and suddenly, every unanswered call is a lost opportunity.

If your system can’t keep up when demand spikes, those leads aren’t waiting. They’re calling your competitor.

In this episode of The Modern Contractor, Jennifer Lau-Hatcher sits down with Nate Hepner, founder of Hepner Consulting, to talk about one of the most overlooked parts of growing a contracting business: answering the phone.

Most contractors DON'T need more financing options. They just need the right process.

The wrong partner can mean declined homeowners, reps skipping financing altogether, and extra steps that turn a one-appointment sale into a follow-up. So what should you actually look for?

From true multi-lender access to rep training, live support, in-home applications, and performance visibility, the right financing partner should make it easier for your team to sell. Not add another system to manage.

We break down what to look for (and what to watch out for) in our latest blog at

That’s why the first appointment matters. For bath remodelers it’s about getting the first appointment right enough that the job can actually be completed in one day. Because when a “one-day” install suddenly needs a second visit, it can mean frustrated crews, unhappy customers, and a promise that wasn’t kept.

For one-day bath companies, the sale and the install are connected from the very beginning.

Homeowners may want the project, but that doesn’t mean they have $20K+ sitting in the bank.
