If you're coming from a traditional pen & paper industry there are MASSIVE opportunities to implement software
Take plumbing: Plumbing is a traditional pen & paper industry
On the surface, it doesn't look like there's much room for technology. After all its plumbing, right?

Wrong. In any business you have customers.

This way your salespeople can manage customers from 1 view

This is instead of using personal phones/emails/texts that aren't recorded to the customer. Without this, it leads to miscommunication.

You also have the actual plumbers.
They need to drive to an address right?
They need to know where to go and what to do when they get there
Now you could simply just give them the address list for the day and tell them to go

The customers need to pay, right?
This is where a payment tool comes in handy. The payment could be captured and invoices issued in the software vs manually writing it out and bringing back the papers for the office to manage.
