Contractor Leads

Being a professional home improvement contractor since the late 1980’s I’ve been pretty successful over the years in my chosen field. I have had new business clients and repeat customers and have a great reputation in my area.

Five years ago a was browsing on the internet when I came across a company claiming that they could sell me qualified home improvement leads in my area. As I read on it sounded so promising, less time in the office, and finding new work. They supplied the leads and all I had to do was sell myself which I was always good at, and what every good businessman should be able to do. So I figured I’d expand the business and in time add on another skilled carpenter and a laborer. I signed on with the lead company, submitted my insurance and license documents and was ready to roll. Well the so called leads came by email, and I might of well just took a match and burned my own money to ashes.

Convinced I got mixed up with one bad apple out of the bunch I tried two more internet contractor lead companies and they were just as bad if not worst than the first. If you are a pro contractor such as a plumber, electrician, carpenter, flooring specialist, handyman, or whatever you probably know what I am talking about and have had some involvement with such online contractor lead companies. If not beware!

You may of heard about such online contractor lead companies such as Contractor Deal, Bid Clerk, Service Magic, 1-800 Contractor, and so many more. In the past few years so many of these companies have infested the internet that it boggles the mind. Their MO is all the same. Outdated leads, leads where the address does not even exist, and the phone numbers are disconnected or wrong number. Calling on a lead to arrange a meeting and that person telling you they never called for contractor estimates or even heard of the company that referred you to them. Oh and here is a good one… You just receive a lead and instructed to meet the potential client at a certain day and time, no phone # is listed, only name and address. You call the lead company and they say the lead prefers not to receive calls, that’s why there is a set date and time to meet. You set out to meet on the scheduled time only to be told by the potential client that they had already hired someone or decided to scrap the project. They also may tell you they never scheduled such a meeting. Should I go on? You get what I am driving at.

Depending on the size of the project these leads can be from $25 up to $250 or more. To make matters worse these lead companies will sell the same lead to 10 different contractors or more! Though they claim no more than 3. I found that to be a total falsehood. After handing out thousands of dollars to these companies with scant results I decided to scrap the whole idea of lead companies altogether. On average for every 16 leads I received, only 2 that are any good. To break it down in round numbers we’ll say $50 a lead times 16 leads that’s $800. 2 good leads and then competing with up to 6 to 10 other contractors for the job. On average a $50 lead (if you win the bid) job cost including materials is around $1,500. Such a deal! So in essence it’s costing you $800 to compete with several contractors for two jobs.
