“You’re paying 60, 80, sometimes 120 bucks for a lead that four other contractors got as well. When I could spend a thousand on ads with you guys, I’m the only lead that these people are going to.”
Jacob, Otte Home Services LLC Video testimonial

Paying $120 for a lead three other contractors already had

Before working with us, Jacob had tried Thumbtack and Angie’s List. His objection to both is the clearest articulation of the problem we exist to solve: you pay $60, $80, sometimes $120 for a single lead, and that same lead is sold to four contractors. You are not buying a customer, you are buying a place in a price war. The rest of his work came the slow way — word of mouth, plus overflow passed down by local contractors winding down or offloading jobs they did not want.

$1,000 of ad spend, $145,000 of signed work

Five jobs closed in a single month, totalling $145,000 in signed work already scheduled and prepped. The ad spend behind it was $1,000 — a 145x return on the media budget. At the time of recording he had a further $50,000 to $80,000 in the pipeline that he expected to close. The arithmetic he draws himself is the one that matters: roughly $50 a week for leads nobody else receives, against $120 a week for leads shared with three competitors.

It compounds from month two

Jacob is straight about the ramp — he was told it might take a while for his name to get out and for prospects to follow through, and that matched his experience. From month two onward it changed character: in his description, most weeks brought another $20,000, $40,000 or $50,000. Three months in, the day-to-day is appointments arriving on their own. He describes opening his calendar to ten new bookings and simply going to them.
