Ever Google custy's by their call ID when they call?

... or when you miss a call?

Works mint for getting the correct spelling of names, address before you even talk to them, to see if they are a "good" prospect, I have even started using the street view feature to help me get a better idea on the house size/neighborhood for over the phone quotes.

It doesn't work all the time but at least 75% of the time I'll say it works.

JB what I do is take the address and punch into the property tax database and a picture of the house with all the details comes up.

When I miss a call I do superpages.com reverse number look up who called and return the call

... you can truely say "I see what you mean".

try not to do that, talk about freakin' someone out :shock:


I did book one a few weeks ago off a missed call, dudes name was like Dick_Dickendorf, didn't wanna say that wrong, after I booked the job and sent out the conf. letter I realized i never even actually asked his address. :shock:
Did the job, all worked out fine, he never even realized that I used my supernatural telepathy powers to hoan in on his house. :mrgreen:

Yes, google is our best friend, along with 411.com reverse look up directory.

use it a lot, but I actually find our own customer database look up has a higher hit rate. With the proliferation of cell phones and decline in land lines, plus people not listing their numbers I find in our market the google, 411.com and other hit rate are pretty low.

www.zillow.com is a website that could be used really fast tosee the neighborhood.

Double Edged sword.

I had a client do it to me. She commented on a few things about my house and the size of my yard. I had no idea what to say to that. Nice lady - great tipper. But it was a little unnerving.

I posted this on the wrong thread
Ken had this system modified for Carpet Cleaning

Maybe it costs me thousands, but if I missed the call and they did not leave a message, then I do nothing.
I do use, zillow, or the counties tax website to get an idea what the house looks like if I'm not familiar with the area.

I use it on suspicious calls. I avoided a craigslist hooker that I scheduled. Her number resulted in several posts & pics of her. It would have ended in a "I got no money but I got this" thing.
