So I have read some of the old posts here about the Blue Book construction Network but would like some fresh input. We provide services for small-mid size demo and site work but our Niche is On-Site Crushing and Recycling.
I was receiving teaser leads which have expired and now they want us to sign up to continue. I was not familiar with the site so I originally blew off the emails as spam. I ended up following through on a bid. I did not get the job(general did not) but they were a legit company that emailed plans, followed up to with me to review etc..
Wondering what I may be missing out on I met with the sales rep yesterday to listen to the pitch. After explaining all the benefits she wanted a 2 year contract.. I tried for a short trial run with full access with no luck. She eventually knocked contract down to 1 year at $280/Month. Told her I would be in touch..
Google search has lead me to some some Rip off reports as well as satisfied customers. My biggest concern is I want valid leads specific to a couple service categories, within a reasonable distance. Do they filter this as promised or will they send anything from painting- demolition bids on the entire east coast..? I feel this may be a valuable tool to make initial contact. Most companies aren't interested in your service sales pitch until then need something,so phone calls and knocking on doors doesn't always work either..
What is everyone's thoughts? If utilized properly is this a valuable service or are they the only ones benefiting from your contract?
If you reply -please explain your personal experience..good or bad.
Thanks!
