Now obviously evreyones favorite leads are the ones that come from good work. Word of mouth is priceless I know that. I do the Yellow pages (not the yellow book there is a difference) and I get good leads from the book. I use the local shopper paper and that generates a lot more leads then anything else. I am consodering trying Service Magic. Has anyone else used them and are the leads any good? Would like to hear your stories.

Long story short- service magic=
