Painting business owner lost major source of work due to unpaid invoices from builders and now struggles to find enough new customers to keep his crew busy.

The owner relied on personal relationships with builders for work, without a diversified customer base or systematic lead generation. Existing personal networking is insufficient to replace lost revenue, and there is no mention of using any marketing or CRM tools to generate and manage leads.
