Cold outreach for cabinet jobs - dropped $50 on Kreg jig flyers and got nothing

Man, been hitting up remodelers with cold emails about our custom cabinet installs using Kreg pocket hole systems, spent $50 printing flyers to stuff in their mailboxes. Not a single callback after a week, feels like shouting into the void. Anyone else wasting cash on this for carpentry leads?

Don't waste your time on flyers, you'll just end up with wet paper in the trash after the first rain.

Tried cold calling once, told the guy I could frame his next deck with Festool precision for cheap.

Switch to LinkedIn messages targeted at GCs needing trim work, include a quick pic of your Festool setup.

Cold outreach is a crapshoot, but I once landed a full kitchen redo from a random door knock.

Spent $200 on Google ads for door installs, got three solid leads that week.

Why bother with cold stuff when yard signs after a staircase job pull in repeats?

SharkBite is to plumbing what cold emails are to carpentry - overhyped and rarely seals the deal.

Hit 6 figures last year mostly from referrals after ditching cold outreach entirely.

Screw the big corps, us small shops get buried under their SEO spam anyway.

Customer calls me for a bookshelf fix, turns out he saw my truck and thought I was the pizza guy. Sold him a whole built-in instead!
