Sell offline lead gen site?
The pay structure would go as followed:
15% of any job under $500
20% of any job above $500
Through the time period of February until today, this website has developed a massive amount of residential and commercial deals. The largest deal being $10,000 for one job through a bank which was looking to overhaul one of their properties. Just in these past few days, we've been offered two (2) other commercial opportunities. Whether or not they happen is really dependent on the salesmanship of the plumber and cost of estimation.
Overall I'm happy with the work quality of the plumber I'm doing business with due to the fact he picks up the phone 95% of the time and usually always closes the deal.
The site has consistently been hitting an average of 250 unique visitors for the past two (2) months. Call volume this month doubled compared to last month and within the last seven (7) days I've received over 25 calls which averages to about 3.5 calls per day. No real overhead except for hosting and all this within just a couple months.
The problem is I need to micromanage the plumber for the 5% of the calls he missed, to follow-up with him on some of the deals that didn't go through, etc. I could be spending my time building more of these lead generation sites and creating more money, but I'm all about efficiency and utilizing every call or visitor to make money. I would rather create these lead generation sites for businesses, sell them and continue doing this.
So I started toying with the idea of possibly selling the website to another local business or giving my current guy the opportunity to purchase it. If you guys were in my position, would you sell off the site? If so, how much would you price it at? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
