New Type of Offline Client for me

15 years ago

Sounds like 2 different businesses - They distribute something to contractors AND they develop leads for contractors.

Without more info, it sounds to me like what they're asking for is a bad idea. If their site is aimed at contractors, why would a contractor's customer want to go there? They'd be better served to create a new site for that market.

That said, I don't think it would be all that hard to set up the functional part of what you've outlined. Visitor gets sold on an idea or service, fills in some contact info on a form, and that info is forwarded to a contractor in their area. Should be simple enough to do based on ZIP codes.

The thing that I'd want to be really clear on with them is whether they're paying you for the function (are the leads forwarded correctly?), or for the results (how many people submit their info, or how many of the leads convert on the other end). Function you can control. The results will depend on the website & its sales copy and/or the ability of the contractor to ultimately make the sale - some or all of which you have absolutely NO control over.

Thanks

Seems it could be done with some geo-targeting or sorting and moving by zip code? Just a thought.

Thanks

There are lead companies who sell redirect leads. They have form asking for different types of contact information and when the lead hits submit they are redirected to one of the "lead buyers." the contact information is also made available to the lead buyer in a back office, so they can reach out to the prospect directly. So the technology is there.

There are many lead companies who do this, although not necessarily in the construction industry.

I'm not the contractor, but I work for the contractor. So I'm sure they'd be happy to hear my (well your) thoughts

Thanks
