Let’s Talk Automation (Home Services Edition)
For Owners, CEOs, and General Managers
Hey,
If you're running a home services business as an
=>Owner,
=> CEO, or
=> General manager,
You already know automation is becoming a big deal.
“You’re either the one that creates the automation or you’re getting automated.” ~Tom Preston Werner
It’s not about being flashy—it’s about freeing up your time to focus on growing your company.
Automations We Recommend
We’ve been diving deep into automation ourselves over at Bravo Company Digital, and here’s what’s been working for us:
Slack Isn’t Just for Chatting
Everyone uses Slack, right?
Well, we’ve made it work harder for us.

We set up automations, so the second a lead comes in, our team and managers get notified instantly. No one’s waiting around for updates anymore.
And, yeah—Slack even pings us about upcoming meetings and reports, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Easy to set up, and it keeps us moving.
Make.com > Zapier (For Us Anyway)
You’ve probably heard of Zapier.
Most people use it. But for us, Make.com is where it’s at.
HERE’S WHY
It’s cheaper and just makes more sense for what we’re doing.
Don’t get me wrong, Zapier is cool and all, but if you’re looking to save a few bucks while getting all the same automation perks, Make.com is worth checking out.
The CRM We Can Actually Stand
We’ve been through the CRM wringer, and let’s face it—most of them suck.
Right now, we’re really liking Close.com. It’s not perfect, but it’s simple to pick up in a few hours, and more importantly, you can customize it for your follow-up automations.

That’s been a game-changer for us.
No more missed leads or late follow-ups. Just set it and let it work.
Check Out Our Website (But Be Ready for Some Rough Edges)
If you want to see more about what we’re building, head over to Bravo Co Digital’s website.

We’re still in the building phase, so yeah, there are probably some mistakes here and there.
But hey, we’d love for you to take a look and let us know what you think.
Your feedback would mean a lot as we keep improving!
Catch you later,
