I don't use those sites.

 

[rcjtiling]

So I keep hearing you all don't use them sites , I was asking if they generated work and worth the money

unfortunately rcj, if people don't use them, they won't know how good these places are at generating work and therefore being worth the money you spend on them.

most of the guys on here avoid stuff like that because they feel they are not worth the money.

Use your marketing skills and time emailing a flyer out to your target audience, local............. builders, developers, conservatory companies, tiling companies. cost you nothing and is very rewarding when you get replies... keep thinking of business people who would use a tiler..... letting agencies..bathroom fitters, plumbers, kitchen fitters etc.etc use your noddle like a businessman ;-)
you don't need to pay for the leads, just work yourself at self generating them, without trying to sound condescending..
rated people leads are targeted and is the minimum you can pay for leads.. and good, if you are good at selling yourself and your services..... but we're out of recession now and the busiest we have ever been for 5 years, they are looking for us... self generate by email flyers...... go tell them about you and the services you offer, you'll be surprised at the success rate ratio
