Maybe I should try shutting of my residential leads and turning on commercial leads for a bit.

Give it a shot. Never know until you try. Residential leads have been good to me too.

SO I turned off my leads today because HA still hasnāt posted any of the reviews that have been submitted on my behalf. Will let the community know how long that takes.

Thatās awesome you have had such great luck. If I may ask what are some good tips to increase my conversion rate? I often find customers not answering my phone calls or replying to my emails.
Happens to me too.
One more thing i wanted to mention, i did a job and the neighbor looked us up on google, found us and called, turns out it was a Home Advisor number, he had to sign up and they charged me $28 for that. He already had my cardā¦
100% agree josh. I have a love hate relationship with them but it will all be worth it when I do find the reoccurring commercial leads one day. Treasure coast is near vero correct? Attending training camp down your way this January.
Yea.
Treasure coast is this whole general area, Vero is like 40 minutes north of me
When you canāt contact them, you ask for a credit for the lead. Iāve experienced no problems with that. But since I really cannot say Iāve been successful with HA yet, ask @squidskc. Heās done really well, and most of his estimates are completed over the phone.

Iāve only listened to the first half of this podcast but itās so golden. This is how my phone calls go thanks to my experience in finance. I was required to make no less than 40 calls a day and the training talked about everything this guy has talked about in the first half.
That training, flat rates, and having a format for a call is crucial.
Listen to this podcast. You wonāt regret it.

Iāve been with Home Advisor for most of this season. I can tell you it works great. I also do not like giving estimates over the phone, but if itās more than 45 minutes away, then I do it over the phone while I look at Google Earth.
I talk to the customer, ask as many questions as I can about what their needs are. Iāve sold many over the phone like this. But I dio sell more when I meet them face to face.
Sidenote about Home Advisir, the annual fee goes up your second year.
Hope this helps,

You can negotiate the difference into credits.
@Greg755 the second half of the podcast I posted above is saying everything you told me about YouTube on a phone call a few months ago. And then some!
Awesome thanks! Iāll listen to it during my commute to work.

You can thank Brian Tracey for that. He is ild now but still posts stuff on you tube and sells his courses. His physcology of sales is a great set.
