Re: CT Lead Service


Would you like my bank account number or my credit card number?

I am going to be so rich off of these leads!

Re: CT Lead Service


Could you imagine Us prescreening a homeowner before it got to a contractor

Re: CT Lead Service


I have leads to sell, I have homeowners looking for contractors right now.
These are qualified leads that have not been churned.
Rory, heres one for you

"Looking for DC Remodeling Contractor, need kitchen, bath and condo redone starting right after the inauguration. Financing in place, money is no object.
Will be traveling extensively but my twin daughters Jaqui and Veronique will be staying at the condo while I'm gone. Looking for experienced conversion contractor.
Half down, rest on progress draws. The girls will be issuing the checks."

I'll sell you that one for $50

I was a joke spawned off the lead post. Some people got it. Some people took it literally.

THERE IS NO CT LEAD SERVICE PEOPLE MOVE ALONG

Sorry Nathan

Re: CT Lead Service


I think that this post should be renamed. No need for there to be any web traffic connected to this site that might ever be confused with a lead service.

Re: CT Lead Service


I am phasing out lead services. Sure I try new ones but they just keep getting worse and worse. I will use lead servives when things get slow or if I start up another service offering. Other than that I am better off spending my monies elsewhere. I spent $36k on advertising in 2008 and got a little over 1300 leads.

ready for this? 65% of those leads might have just went in the trash. No call back, no response what so ever from 65% of our leads.

Having said that, I am actually still very very thrilled at our cost per sale being only a fraction of the industry average. But I am still looking for ways to get it down! 65% shrink, OUCH!

Lead services have their role, but you can no longer count on them nor be loyal to them since they are not loyal to any of us.

Re: CT Lead Service


I've been procrastinating about a lead service.....forever. I will not try Service Magic since most people here have had bad experiences. I've been stalked by Reliable Remodeler, but haven't joined yet. I will join next week RenovationExperts, part of "Bob Vila" contractors...just because you can pre-arrange your leads and pay for as much as you like. For example, you can start with 6 leads per month ($200 total), and then they send you leads daily and you only pick the ones you want, until you reach your 6 limit. They said that they always verify the leads prior to sending, so that you will not have the problems with homeowners not answering, wrong phone nr..etc...
Guess will give it a try. Anybody heard of these guys before?

Re: CT Lead Service

Kidding, but I see everyone else is pimping their name to the lead companies.
