Thanks for sharing... I have been with HA since Sept of 2010. I primarily subscribe to their Handyman lead tasks. The average cost per lead is 15.25 for a market match and about 19 for an exact match.
My monthly budget with them is 1000.00. My ROI (return on investment) ranges between 350 to 500%, depending on seasonality. My conversion rate on the leads i receive has been an average of 48% in the past 3 years.
While HA is not for everyone, I encourage those who are interested to respond quickly to the leads they receive. Moreover, when speaking with a customer, try to sound enthusiastic about their project. It does not require you to be a master salesperson... But a little enthusiasm/excitment about your customer's project puts you ahead of your competitors.
Also, if no one repsonds to the lead immediately, do not get discouraged. Leave a prompt and detailed message... Then call again later.
If you receive a lead that is outside your scope/expertise or a task that is not within your skill or geographic area, don't panic and throw the towel. Contact the HA at 1877-947-3639 and submit the lead for a credit review. 85% of the leads i submitted for credit review, got approved!
For those who are interested in further testimony, feel free to contact me at 408-644-4379. I'd love to assist you with any questions you may have. you are also welcome to visit my profile at Superior Home Solutions.
