What Happens When Contractors Get the Right Tools — and Use Them Together
At GTR, we spend a lot of time talking with contractors. Not just about referrals (though, yes, we do that pretty well), but about the big picture: how they run their businesses, where they lose time, where deals get stuck, and where things fall through the cracks.
Which brings us to our Q2 Featured Partner: Leap.
If you haven’t met them yet, Leap is one of those tools that makes you wonder how you ever operated without it. It’s not another bloated software suite made for the boardroom — it’s purpose-built for people in the field, on the phone, and in the truck, just like us.
🛠 What Leap Does (and Why It’s a Big Deal)
Leap helps contractors streamline the most frustrating part of the job: the paperwork.
You know the drill. Your sales rep does the estimate, scribbles a price, promises to send the contract later, and then the lead ghosts them. Or the customer can’t print. Or your email with the final proposal gets buried in their inbox.
Leap fixes that. It gives you:
-
Instant digital estimates that actually look good
-
On-the-spot contracts with built-in e-signature
-
Secure, immediate payment options (no more chasing checks)
-
And a lightweight CRM to track leads without 47 spreadsheets
It’s built for roofers, solar pros, remodelers, window installers — basically anyone who wants to sell faster and stop wasting time.
Why GTR and Leap Make Sense Together
We’re all about making things easier for contractors — especially when it comes to repeat and referral business. But if the first experience with your brand is clunky, disconnected, or slow? You’ve already lost the follow-up.
That’s where the synergy kicks in.
GTR helps you turn happy customers into active advocates. But Leap helps you get those customers in the first place — and make the process feel seamless from day one. In other words:
-
Leap helps you close.
-
GTR helps you grow.
And when both tools are working together? That’s where the magic happens. You’re not just selling better — you’re building a system that scales with your business, not against it.
A Look at the Full Picture
Let’s break it down like a real-world job timeline:
-
🏡 You meet a homeowner (maybe from a GTR referral — thanks, advocate!)
-
💬 Leap gives your sales team the tools to quote, contract, and collect on-site
-
📲 GTR takes that satisfied customer and turns them into a new lead source
-
🔁 Rinse. Repeat. Grow.
You don’t need a full tech stack with 10 logins and a full-time ops manager. You just need tools that play well together — and don’t get in your way.
Bottom Line
If you’re a home improvement contractor looking for smarter, smoother systems, Leap and GTR are better together. One helps you close deals fast. The other helps you turn those deals into more deals — and track every dollar along the way.
It’s not just about adding tech. It’s about freeing up your team to do what they do best — and building a business that doesn’t burn you out.
