Why we're different

Until now, there were three ways to run ads for your contracting business. None of them were good.

βœ•

Hire an agency

They set it all up for you β€” then charge you $2,000 to $4,000 a month for the rest of your life to keep it running. Stop paying, and it all stops.

βœ•

Figure it out yourself

Endless YouTube videos and expensive trial and error. Most guys never even get started because it feels too complicated and too overwhelming.

βœ•

Buy a course

Nobody wants to sit through 40 hours of course videos β€” and when you're done, you're still left figuring it out on your own.

So we built a fourth way. One that's completely different.

Build & Release: the best of all three.

First, we build your whole lead system and get it working, set up properly and live in about a week. Then we coach you 1-on-1 until you can run it yourself in 30 minutes a week.

You're not learning how to build a system. You're learning how to maintain one that already works and is booking you jobs.

The real cost of an agency

Why not just hire a marketing agency?

Because most of your budget pays the agency β€” not your ads.

β€œI don't care about how much I sell, I care about how much I actually keep.” John Cameron, founder

Here's what agencies don't tell you. Say your total marketing budget is $4,500 a month. The agency keeps $2,500 as its fee, so only $2,000 ever goes into actually promoting your business.

Put the full $4,500 into ads yourself, and the same money books more than twice the work β€” and you keep far more profit, every single month.

Agencies love to talk about the revenue they bring in. They never mention what their fee does to your profit. And you pay it for as long as you want leads.

The only catch? You have to run it yourself. Which brings us to the big question…

Our belief

β€œIt's not worth giving up $7,500 in profit every month for 30 minutes of work each week.”

The big question

Can I really run this in 30 minutes a week?

You're already working 26-hour days. It's a fair question β€” so here's the honest answer.

  • 1
    Nothing matters more than having work.
    Other than doing a great job for your customers, nothing in your business is more important than keeping the work coming in. It's worth 30 minutes of your week.
  • 2
    We set it up so it's simple.
    Even if you suck with computers and have never run an ad before, the way we set things up lets you run it in under 30 minutes a week. Once you've found the ads that work, booking more work is about five clicks.
  • 3
    Some clients barely touch it.
    Some of our clients have had the same ads running for eight months without spending one extra minute on them β€” and they're still booking work.

Who's behind this

Built by a contractor, not a marketer.

John Cameron started a painting business at 18 and ran it for three years. He then spent four years as a franchise director running 18 locations and 70+ people β€” and went on to become head of marketing for the franchise, a business doing over $40 million a year.

  • 4 yrs

  • $40M+
    A year β€” the franchise he ran marketing for
Why The CMM exists. One of John's locations got scammed by a marketing agency. That's when it clicked: agencies prey on contractors who don't know which buttons to click. They make it seem far more complicated than it is, so they can charge you $3,000 a month for the rest of your life. That's why John started The CMM: to give contractors the help they need to get started without holding them hostage, so that $3,000 a month goes into growing their business instead of into agency fees. The truth? It's not that hard. There's just a little you need to know β€” and we show you.

Questions

The things contractors ask us most.

Is this a marketing agency?
No. An agency runs your ads for a monthly fee, forever. We build the system inside your business β€” your ad account, your CRM, your leads β€” coach you for 12 weeks, then hand it over. There's no retainer, and we never sell or share your leads.
Who does the work?

We do the heavy lifting up front: strategy, ad scripts, filming help, video editing, your ad account, CRM, automated follow-up, tracking and launch. You tell us what makes you different, film with us, and answer your leads.

Once the system is up and running and bringing in jobs, we teach you how to run it yourself in 30 minutes a week β€” even if you suck with computers and have never run ads before.

How much time does it take?
More in the first week, while we build it with you. Once it's running, about 30 minutes a week.
Will it work for my trade?
If you do residential work you can show off β€” remodeling, kitchens and baths, roofing, decks, painting, landscaping, concrete, windows, electrical, HVAC and more β€” it almost certainly will. Not sure? Book a call and we'll tell you straight.
I'm not good with tech. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of our clients come to us precisely because they suck at tech β€” so you'll be in good company. We set up everything technical for you, and your coach walks you through running it one week at a time.
Do I have to be on camera?

Short answer: no.

Long answer: the ads that perform best are usually the ones with you in them, whether that's photos or video. It's not impossible to get good results without being on camera, but it does make it harder. People want to do business with people β€” so we put you front and center. Your customers get to know you before they ever call, and you start building a local brand in your area.

What happens after the 12 weeks?
You own and run the system. Your ads, your leads and your CRM stay yours, and you keep booking work without paying anyone a retainer. If you want ongoing support after that, it's available.
Do you work with contractors in the US and Canada?
Yes β€” we work with residential contractors across the US and Canada.
What happens on the call?
It's a free strategy call. We look at your business, your market and your goals, map out what your ad game plan should be, and tell you honestly whether we're a fit. You leave with the plan either way.

Stop renting your leads. Own the system.

A quick note on these numbers...$37M+ is what we can actually verify ourselves. The real number is much bigger.

Once a contractor owns a system, they keep booking work for years, and most of it never gets reported back to us.

We would rather under-call it than over-sell it.
