Our son Jay, who was a Master Cleaner and worked for us for over 13 years is now a Journeyman Plumber. He said the Company he works for uses one franchise co.and is paid $50.00 per lead weather they get the job or not. The company uses the money for a large expensive company picnic every year.
Talking to his boss, who is offered 5-10% of jobs if they get them from other restoration Companys, said getting a $1000 plus check every mo for 5 plus referals a week is a no brainer (very seldom less than 5 per wk usally more with their 15 truck plumbing co) Just for calling an 800 number and giving the name, address and phone number of their cleint who just had a water damage of any type.
Do the numbers this approch has merrit. I have an agreement with a restoration company but they have to get the job before I recieve my referal fee. Sure would be a lot easier just to make the phone call and cash the check...
