It varies from total waste to ok I guess. Each month is different. The company though is run by scumbags. They'll use and abuse your adds on other sites they own or work with. Real pita when you try to fix your listings. Highly scummy

Started good, but seemed to fizzle out!!

I get 6-8 leads a month and book half. Well worth it to me.

I hear Lippold has had some luck w/it.

I am. I have a good profile and ratings. I get a lot of exact matches. It definatly works, but the market matches are a waste because those people are just price shopping.

works well for me as well anywhere between 14 to 20 a month on the good months, close on 60%-70% , this month has been slow so far, got 2 calls today(second lead was hard to close, she got a call from a chem dodo guy after me hope it wasnt Al.....she called me back and did book the job for tomorrow)

i find you have to be able to call back asap as in 5mins to close on the leads
i get the leads text to my phone

I did not find the service to be what it was sold to be.

If others have, I certainly am happy for you.

You will have mostly price shoppers who want you to do your
work for cut rate. I think that is what the foundation of
they re premise is.

people will call them not based upon knowing they are getting a quality service person to they're home, but a cheap price.

I don't see it any different than working through Lowe's, Home Depot or any other entity that has a middle man.

Give it a try if you want to see if this particular venue works for you.

Some here have attested that it does and some of us have attested that id don't.

I think it depends upon your market. It's certainly not for me.

the past year i've had over 40 leads - only got 2 of them.

those were the only 2 that weren't price shoppers and willing to pay 40-50¢.

i'm only up on them $300 or so versus what i've had to pay SM for their referral fee's.

i reduced my zipcode coverage from 75 or so, down to about 8.

if you like Valpak i would reckon it's a perfect fit.

thanx --- Derek.
