Your Branding Might Be Costing You Leads – Here’s How to Fix It Before It’s Too Late: Dan Antonelli

from We Love Deck Builders · host We Love Deck Builders

In this episode, we’re joined by Dan Antonelli, CEO of KickCharge® Creative, to talk about how branding directly affects the quality of leads deck builders attract. We break down why solid craftsmanship isn’t enough if your trucks, website, and visuals don’t build trust fast — and how homeowners decide who feels “legit” before ever reaching out. Dan Antonelli shares what he sees holding builders back, where branding costs jobs without anyone realizing it, and what matters most to homeowners when choosing a deck builder.Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming:• How homeowners decide you’re “premium” before they ever call, based on your trucks, website, and overall branding.• The small branding mistakes that quietly cost deck builders good leads and attract price-shoppers instead.• What deck builders should fix first to get better leads without increasing ad spend, according to KickCharge Creative.Check out Dan's latest book:Branded Not Blane: Kickcharge® Your Home Service Brandhttps://www.kickcharge.com/tips-tools/our-books-on-branding/(and more)https://www.kickcharge.com/Hosted by April Edwards, founder of Deck Builder Marketers and host of the We Love Deck Builders Podcast.Learn more about April Edwardshttps://deckbuildermarketers.com/april-edwards/------------------------------Take the Next Step:-------------------------------Sign up for a FREE Growth Strategy Sessionhttps://deckbuildermarketers.com/get-started/Get a copy of The Deck Builder Marketing Playbookhttps://deckbuildermarketers.com/book/Join the Deck Builder Marketing Mastermindhttps://deckbuildermarketers.com/join-group/-------------------------------Follow Deck Builder Marketers:-------------------------------Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/deckbuildermarketersLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/deckbuildermarketers/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deckbuildermarketers/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deckbuildermarketers-------------------------------Who This Channel Is For:-------------------------------+ Deck Builders+ Outdoor living contractors+ Construction business owners+ Builders looking to grow+ Contractors who want consistent, high-quality leads & better projects
