With years of experience running, owning, and now coaching shops on operational strategies, Tomas Keenan has a proven formula for staying fully booked. One part of that formula is to use your lead form like a pro, here's how: 1. Add a work request form to your website. 2. Create a list of clarifying questions for your prospect. 3.

Before you place that big Amazon holiday order, take a second. Chicago is full of local shops that actually make gift shopping fun, not stressful. 🛍️ I’m talking cozy candle spots, the sweetest chocolate shops, unique toys, stationery that’ll make you want to write actual letters, and home décor that feels so Chicago. These are the places I’m hitting up this year — because when you shop local, you’re supporting your neighbors (and honestly finding way better gifts) 🎁 #chicagogram #thingstodoin
