MY PLAN - Will It Work?
I'm back! I was out of the loop for a few months whilst I focused on school and my music, but I'm back in the swing of things and ready to begin making some offline profit again. If you're new here or you've yet to see me around, hi! My name's Jon. Nice to meet you.
Anyway, let's get to the thread, shall we?
--
I've landed an at-home marketing job with a local renovations company. They deal with eavesdrops, pavement, porches, window/door installation, painting, and pretty much any project you can think of in a home whether it be interior or exterior.
It's a commission-based campaign and here's how it works:
First of all, these are somewhat warm leads. The owner of the company has hired some flyer deliverers to go door to door putting flyers in mailboxes. While these carriers are doing their job, they are also consciously examining things like the windows, eavesdrops, roof, etc. for any kind of wear or damage. If/when the flyer carrier notices any issues whatsoever with the exterior they will jot it done along with the address. From there, a reverse lookup on the number is done and they're added to the calling list.
From there, either myself or somebody I hire will call through the list, booking completely FREE no obligation estimates on things like roofs, etc. For every lead/appointment booked, I'm given $30. If the lead/appointment sells (I've spoken to the craftsman and he seems like a very good salesman!) I'll also receive 2% of the sale as a commission.
I've worked in a call centre booking free estimates for vinyl window replacements and I did well there. I booked on average 1 lead / 70 live calls. Those were for JUST windows, not roofs or anything else, and the calls were 100% cold - a ton of them were apartments actually. The fact that this list is specific will increase conversions tremendously.
MY PLAN:
I hope to eventually hire a telemarketer to work these lists for me, and I'd pay them $10 / estimate booked. I'd be making $20 per appointment booked under my supervision, without having to do much work at all. It seems like a good idea and I'd be able to provide a hungry entrepreneur with some cash-flow and experience.
My question is: Will this work? Where is the best place to find a competent telemarketer online who is easily trained? Should I be spending time and effort on this project? It seems great to me but maybe I'm missing the bigger picture.
My main goal with this thread is to get some feedback, regardless of whether it's specific to my question or general. If you can offer any advice, or if you have experience with something like this, please leave a reply! Any opinion or knowledge you have to offer would be super appreciated!
It's great to be back on WF, guys! (:
