No service magic - Page 23 - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

Its only Wednesday and I got an offer to accept 2 opportunity leads. Not from Service Magic, but well known competitors.

Mr Paul could you handle anymore work this year? We have a client who wants a sunroom/ 2 car attached garage built. 2 separate jobs, 2 different companies. They can't find a contractor. Yeah, and I can't find my nose. Same pitch always. Its getting old.

I heard this same pitch from another LGS company, but that was awhile ago.
.
I also blame the contractors who buy leads. Don't say yes thinking these leads are run the same as leads you get from advertising, different setup and different mindset from clients. Its a FREE easy click to them. You start out with paying for someone who filled out a short form, do you think those people are looking for quality? Use them or not, they are leads but what kind of leads?

Keep in mind, SM opportunity leads are ONLY sent to our current customers and not used as an outside sales pitch.

I kept that in mind. There are quite a few lead services, but some (I believe) are owned by Service Magic, or the Service Magic group of companies.

Right, simultaneous phone calls? Amazing if so.

Depending on the Pros' preference of notification - phone call, text, email, servicemagic pro page on website and even pager for those who still use them.
