Like many, Christmas Day was all about family. We stayed up until 5 am Christmas Eve wrapping gifts and promptly at 8 am our kids were awake wanting to start the holiday festivities.

We have a great Christmas, we have teenagers and they got gifts like DF Hero and watches and clothing, we ate breakfast and the kids played DJ Hero all day while we prepared dinner.

We had a great dinner, watched movies and eventually I did the dishes, dumping the garbage in the garbage disposal, ran the disposal and washed the dishes. Everything was done when I discovered that we had a clogged sink and despite my working hard to unclog, the sink was full of water, clogged, a disaster.

I'm no handyman but I did try the plunger to no avail, the sink was clogged with standing water and garbage and nothing was working. So, like any good geek, I went to Google and entered "how to unclog a sink", here was what Google returned.

The results where somewhat helpful but what strikes we is the following;

• Not one local plumber ranks in the search results
• Not one local plumber is running PPC ads on this phrase.

What I was looking for where some really simple tips from a local plumber. My plan was to try the tips and if they didn't work call the plumber that provided me help. If I had found one local plumber with just that, either a site I could read with pictures or ideally a video, that guy would have gotten my business.

Instead I used Craigslist.com, guessed at a plumber, called him only to be told he could come out for 5 days. I called another plumber who didn't answer and finally called back a few days later. Bottom line, my kitchen sink was clogged for three days with water and smelly food. I eventually go the problem fixed, I did it myself.

Moral of the story, a little inbound marketing guide from a local plumber would have gotten a new loyal customer, instead a half competent do it yourself jobs

Contractors display quite a bit of irony in the way they run their business. They would like for more customers to call when a problem arises that the contractor can fix. Yet contractors think they should do EVERYTHING in their business on their own. They handle the marketing, payroll, taxes and of course the actual work. This is simply not necessary.

Consider for a moment a self employed plumber. Most plumbers know that any able-bodied person can likely handle a number of plumbing tasks. But it takes knowledge and experience to recognize the true source of a leak or flow problem and determine the best solution. This specialized knowledge and experience comes from a reputable plumber.

The various tasks that a contractor handles on a day-to-day basis should also be handled by knowledgeable and experienced individuals rather than having the contractor do everything on their own. When looked at from a mathematical standpoint, it makes perfect sense.

For instance, let's say that the plumber mentioned above spends 7 hours weekly handling marketing chores. Let's also surmise that the plumber charges $50 per hour for most work. That means that the marketing efforts have to produce at least $350 in new business, every single week, in order just to break even. Anything less is a loss.

Now suppose the plumber hires a contractor marketing services company. The marketing agent looks at the plumber's business and puts together a plan that will cost $2,500 to start and a few hundred dollars per month to maintain. The plumber faints. After he regains his composure, he agrees to the marketing plan. 90 days later, thanks to the new marketing plan, the plumber has gained $10,000 in new business. Using the phrase that most contractors use "Doesn't it make sense to hire a specialist, rather than do all of it on your own?"
