3. Customers want digital communication options.

Thriving pros are more likely to offer text message communications and online booking forms.

If you’re not offering online booking, digital quotes, or text updates - you’re falling behind.

💡 Tip: Give customers 3 clear options. Most will pick the middle or top. It’s basic psychology—and it works.

1/ After 15+ years as insiders for online services marketplaces and tech companies, we saw one thing clearly:
