Got My First Internet Lead/close All In One.
****Newsflash****
Today was a banner day in the marketing world for Colonial Custom Painting of Jacksonville Florida. It marked the first call from Yahoo local search that at the same time turned out to also be a close on a signed contract for interior painting. The job consists of all interior walls to be coated as well as ceilings and trim work including crown. The power of the internet has started to come to fruition as Jimmy of Colonial Custom Painting had this to say,"You know we have been kicking the idea around of doing some SEO with our website, but have had some horror stories with click fraud, but decided to jump feet first into this new realm of advertising. I have actually had another 2 calls tonight for estimates on Saturday which will prayerfully turn into a booked 2 weeks. I feel this is going to be the way for me to actually hire some competent painters, allowing me to manage the daily affairs of the business and concentrate on filling the log book." There you have it. The success has started to brim over here at Colonial Custom Painting and thus starting a new legacy in custom paint company service. ****Fade to black****

Re: Got My First Internet Lead/close All In One. I appreciate all the nice replies fellas. Its been a long road to get here. For seven years all I wanted to be was a workhorse in my business only hiring outside help when I had to. It all changed when I came here and saw a new and better way from other pros. I am grateful for the networking of ideas amongst other contractors.
