Meet Sidekick
Your business has a lot to manage. Sidekick brings your leads, customer information, communication, and follow-up tools together in one place, with support from NES Marketing.
Your business is busy.
Your systems shouldn't be chaotic.
Most 5-to-25 person trade companies hit a revenue ceiling—not because their craftsmanship is lacking, but because their front-office communication relies on manual memory.
Missed Calls While On Job Sites
You're under a sink or up on a roof. The phone rings, goes to voicemail, and the homeowner immediately calls your competitor.
Leads Sitting Unanswered for Hours
Web form inquiries sit in an inbox until you get home at 7 PM. By then, the customer has already booked with someone else.
Unfollowed Estimates & Proposals
You spend hours writing quotes, send them out, and never follow up because you're busy running the next service call.
Customer Info Scattered Everywhere
Notes on clipboards, phone text threads, paper receipts, and mental lists. Nothing is centralized or searchable.
Administrative Work Late at Night
Instead of spending time with family, owners sit at night texting reminders, sorting leads, and chasing invoices manually.
Too Many Disconnected Software Apps
Paying for 5 different subscriptions that don't talk to each other: scheduling software, text tool, email app, review app, and CRM.
Built for businesses that work with their hands.
NES Marketing is tailored specifically for field service crews, trade technicians, and local contracting business owners.

Hear directly from owners running real crews on the ground using Sidekick.
"Before Sidekick, we'd get a call, write the number down on a notepad in the truck, and hope somebody remembered to follow up. Now missed calls get an auto-text in 20 seconds. We booked 14 extra RTU jobs last month alone."
Marcus Vance
