WEEK 1: SIMPLE LOCAL LEAD PLAY (MARKETPLACE + FB GROUPS)

Objective:

Get 2–5 local leads this week using posts + simple follow-up

Step 1 — Facebook Marketplace Post (Do this first)

Title:

Grading, Drainage & Land Clearing — Fast Scheduling Available

Description (copy/paste):

I’m currently booking jobs for grading, drainage fixes, and land clearing.

If you’ve got:
• Water pooling issues
• Yard that needs leveling
• Land that needs cleared
• Driveway or prep work

I can take a look and get you a quote.

✔ Reliable
✔ Fair pricing
✔ Fast turnaround

Message me with what you need done and I’ll get back to you.

Photos:

Use:

• 2–4 real job photos

• before/after if possible

If you don’t have photos:
👉 use equipment pics (clean, not junky)

Important:

• Post in the Services category

• Set location to your service area

Step 2 — Post in 3–5 Local Facebook Groups

You need to join local groups for your area. Search by your city or county name to find groups in your area.

Search:

• “[Your County] Community”

• “[Your City] Residents”

• “Local Buy/Sell/Trade”

Post this (copy/paste):

Quick question—does anyone need grading, drainage work, or land clearing done?

I’ve got a few open spots this week and looking to fill them.

DO NOT:

• write a long sales post

• over-explain

• add pricing

Short works better.

Step 3 — Respond like this (this is important)

When someone comments or messages:

First response:

Hey, I can take a look at that. What exactly are you needing done?

Why this works:

• keeps it simple

• gets them talking

• avoids overwhelming them

Step 4 — Move to quote

Once they respond:

Ask:

• location

• basic scope

Then:

I can come take a look or give you a rough idea based on what you’re describing.

Step 5 — Follow-up (most people skip this)

If they stop responding:

After 24 hours:

Hey, just checking back—did you still want help with this?

After 48 hours:

No problem if not, just let me know either way.

Step 6 — Daily check (5–10 minutes)

Each day:

• Check messages

• Respond quickly

• Follow up

This week’s rule

Do NOT:

• change wording

• overthink

• try new strategies

👉 Just run this exactly

Expected results

Realistically:

• 2–5 conversations

• 1–2 quotes

• potential job booked

Why this works

• Marketplace = people already looking

• Groups = local visibility

• Simple messaging = more replies

Final instruction

Run this exactly once this week.

Don’t tweak it.

Consistency beats perfection.
