Who Is Bestcontractors.com
Had an inquiry today from Bestcontractors.com. Free leads plus free listing.
I don't trust anyone doing this, ever hear of them?

Re: Who Is Bestcontractors.com
Free leads plus free listing, you better jump on it. It sounds like they are starting a website and are offering a free spot until people start buying.

Re: Who Is Bestcontractors.com
FREE stuffs always requires conditions -> Let they use your company for their advertising, emails, and/or marketing purposes later (to promote their web presence). Don't believe in "No Strings Attached" anymore.
The rest is up to you. |

Re: Who Is Bestcontractors.com
I went through the process partway to see what was up. It wanted $249. for a roofing listing. I can get PR5 directory listings for free.

Re: Who Is Bestcontractors.com
It seems like they want to offer free listings untill their site becomes populated and popular, then they will turn the old fee up...as long as you can get out when they start charging, sounds like a deal. But are homeowners liking for the contractor to call them? I mean it seems like a hassle to have to wait for contractors to call you, when you can just open up the yellow pages and get some one on the phone instantly and free...

People are efficient so yes they would use it because waiting for 3 painters or what ever to call you back is better than calling 15 because nobody answers and only talking to one. |

Re: Who Is Bestcontractors.com
I'm talking with them currently and they are advertising in my area. Most lead services offer free listings initially to get a few contractors in an area, then start promoting the area and after they get a few free leads for the contractors will begin charging.
As of now it's $295 for a 3 zone area and 1 trade. They said they'd give me a free upgrade to 5 zones and 2 trades. I'm probably going to do it and try it out for 3 months. |

Re: Who Is Bestcontractors.com
Why not try them out, but I would only buy with a low limit credit card. Many of these companies in the past messed with your (my) payment schedule and then you fight to get credited back. I'm gonna pass on this one.

Re: Who Is Bestcontractors.com
I tell you what. Dagum $250/mo aint nothing. I completely understand why some contractors are rocking it and others are outta business. Come on fellas you gotta spend money to make some. It's a different story if you don't get any results but I mean... come on now - how good of results can you expect from spending only $249/mo?
