Customer Acquisition & Market Competition
Definition
SMB general contractors typically rely on relationships, reputation, and referrals for customer acquisition. Limited marketing budgets and sales resources mean: (1) project pipeline visibility is poor, (2) customer acquisition cost is high (sales time-intensive), (3) competitive differentiation is difficult, (4) market information gaps. For niche/regional contractors, local market knowledge is advantage but limits scalability. Loss mechanism: (1) uncertain project pipeline forces conservative hiring, (2) feast-famine cycles, (3) low utilization between projects.
