A contractor explains how their pen-and-paper estimate system, combined with HubSpot and a tight community, gives them an edge competitors can't match. They credit the onboarding process and the rare combination of tools for positioning them to dominate their market.

Nobody is doing the stuff that we're doing. And I know that there are competitors out there who have good solutions, but it's far and few between this system that we have here, that's pen and paper, that's writing out estimates and uploading them and scanning and all these things. It's the norm here. For me specifically, I've seen what it can do by RPB's exposure to it, but also in meeting the people that he interacts with. Right, because he's created basically this little community that we all get to reach out to each other and have conversations. And what's cool about is we all get to speak the same language. I'm still picking up on all the verbiage. And I remember for months, up to the rollout, we were having conversations and they were like talking all these terms like deals and tasks and automations, and I was like, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. And day by day, piece by piece, Sam starts filling me in on different concepts and I start going through the videos that HubSpot has and really starting to see the vision of what it could be, and then using that with the solutions that they created and with the community that they've built to create all of these things that are going to basically position me to take over this market because nobody else is doing this.
