LandscapeLeads.com Connects Contractors with Web Proposals

LandscapeLeads.com today launched a new lead service that will allow landscape contractors access to projects proposed online. The new service helps contractors who may not already have an online presence tap into a growing market of Internet-savvy consumers.

Sales leads generated by the service include client contact information and answers to a series of project-related questions ranging from “How much do you estimate the cost of your landscape project will be,” to “Are you interested in landscape lighting?” The listed information gives landscape contractors project specifications prior to the first phone call.

“We’ve built a service that connects Internet shoppers to landscape contractors without requiring landscape contractors to be online,” says Frank Healy, president, LandscapeLeads.com. “Once a project is requested on our consumer site, www.yardcrew.com, the information is immediately sent via fax or e-mail to the contractors who have requested leads from that area.”

Sales leads are assigned to contractors based on the zip code the lead was generated from, and zip codes are limited to three landscape contractors to prevent consumers from receiving an overwhelming response. Enrolling and reserving zip codes can be done over the phone or online at www.landscapeleads.com.

“Our system of generating and providing landscaping leads is constantly changing and we expect this to continue as our base of member contractors continues to grow,” Healy says. “Suggestions provided by member landscape contractors from Arizona to New Jersey have already been implemented, and we look forward to implementing more as the needs of our contractors change.”

Landscapeleads.com charges a $4 to $12 per-lead fee with no recurring or start-up fees. Leads are available for commercial and residential projects.
