Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a website that provides job leads I have used rated people and myworkman but I never get a response from the customer and often if we call them the numbers don't work. I don't mind spending the money even if we don't get the job I just want the opportunity to submit a quote to the customer. All the sites I have used seem to be a bit of a con has anyone else experienced this or have I just been unlike thus far

Thanks in advance for your comments

They are a con steer clear fake numbers or fake jobs then they give you a refund which is a fake job or fake number letter drop is better and more usefull

I have tried rated people recently as an introductory offer of a tenner for 1st quarter as opposed to £40. fake number and these are the type of people whom want a cheap deal. Not my cup of tea. I understand from the customers point of view for getting a truseted tradesman in, as we do have bad reps due to the cowboys, but sites like these don't provide a representation of any true quality of a mans quality in the work place. The best advertising is my own work and word of mouth. Not paying for a bloody lead again. a big 2 up to you rated people.

i,ve had good and bad from rated people. on thew whole, it's a decent source of work, but you have to be selective on which leads you buy. e.g. one lead i was offered was for a pir and fire alarm inspection, client's budget was under £100. no way, jose. on the other hand i got a CU change for £450.
