A local bathroom and kitchen fitter i do work for is registered with them.

He said he does more quotes than actual work through it.

Mind you, i dont know what he charges so that may have something to do with it!

I seem to remember its about £50 / month and you need customer "feedback" before you can sign up.

One of my clients registered feed back for me, and this entitled me to about 3 months of sales calls!

A bit hit and miss then! Its over £500/ yr it must work for some people as some have been on it a while. Il have a deeper look into it on search engine feed back and maybe just take the chance, ive wasted more money on yell etc so probably worth a try.

better off with service magic or rated people. you ain't got so much outlay. small membership fee and you only buy leads if they look good.

Check my posts who are Electrician now and I am not sales I am a Lead Generator in other words a highly paid Yell.com and a lot of endless quoting for its members hence the high churn or turnover rate of member and if you complain it will be market forces you are not competitive enough

Anyone had experience with this company?
Suspect they are like similar companies trying to con us into paying for work when there is not much about, preying on the vunerable.
Think we pay enough money on scams, any views?

I thought it might be a good idea until I checked and found it was £500 to join so gave it a miss.Not sure how much it is today.

 

[telectrix]

there's another one. local traders. £130 odd for 3 months.

I bet they have 125 customers in your area just waiting to be put in contact with you....

Yes but luckily we are still surviving without falling for scams like these.
Too many scams preying on those not yet established and less fortunate than some of us.
