An original Booked Work Pro operating guide. Examples and worksheets are illustrative, not customer results or universal benchmarks. Verify job conditions and applicable requirements before acting.
Give one audience one reason to respond
Choose a service and territory the crew can support now. A flyer for occupied interior repaints should explain protection, preparation and the estimate process rather than list every possible trade. Use a clear business name, real contact details and one primary action. Do not invent a discount, expiration, license, award or customer quote to make the page look fuller. Read the flyer on a phone and print a sample at actual size before ordering more.
Use an original message that matches the work
Example to adapt: “A fresh room starts before the first coat. We plan protection, preparation and a clear room-by-room scope for your interior repaint. Request an estimate walkthrough at [your link] or call [your number]. Serving [actual area].” Replace brackets with verified information and describe only services you provide. The goal is a useful expectation, not a clever phrase that leaves the homeowner unsure whether you paint cabinets, walls or exteriors.
Make the contact path easy to test
Use a short readable URL and a working phone number. If adding a QR code, test the printed sample on more than one phone and verify its final destination. Keep a visible URL or phone alternative for people who do not scan codes. Confirm the request form works without requiring a homeowner to diagnose peeling, identify a coating chemistry or create a software account. Check that the office knows how to identify inquiries from the flyer.
Ask for referrals without turning reviews into rewards
After a completed job, an original request is: “If a neighbor asks who handled the repaint, we would appreciate you passing along our contact details.” Ask permission before using photos, testimonials or an address. Keep any referral arrangement separate from review requests and review platform rules. Google prohibits incentives for reviews; do not exchange a discount or free touch-up for a rating. Respect a customer who does not want their home used in marketing.
Distribute with permission and local rules in mind
Get permission from property owners or managers before using their premises, community boards or jobsite signs. Check applicable local solicitation and sign requirements and the rules of any delivery method. Do not assume that something permitted in one neighborhood is permitted everywhere. For email distribution, review the actual message and applicable email requirements, including truthful identification and a functioning opt-out where required. This guide does not authorize sending or change any BWP outreach settings.
Measure a small complete test
Record the flyer version, area, distribution dates and cost, then ask how each new prospect heard about you. Track service-area fit, walkthroughs, accepted work and actual contribution. The illustrative worksheet below makes no promise about response rate. If requests are weak, inspect the service message and destination before printing thousands more. If the wrong jobs arrive, narrow the offer; if qualified inquiries are lost, fix follow-up before buying more distribution.
Put the decision on one worksheet
| Worksheet field | What to record | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Version and area | A named flyer and actual territory | Avoid mixing different tests |
| Complete cost | Design, print and distribution | Count more than paper |
| Qualified requests | Fit, service and walkthrough outcome | Separate attention from opportunity |
| Completed jobs | Collected result and actual direct cost | Assess useful work, not scans alone |
