What\u2019s more important is the quality of the leads you receive. All leads distributed by Quotatis have either been visually or voice qualified to ensure high levels of quality.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each consumer has completed an appropriate form providing their name, address and contact details. They\u2019ll also have listed the work they require and a suitable time frame.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on the quality of the source, our independent verification team will confirm the validity of the lead with voice or visual qualification.<\/li>\n<li>Around 50% of all leads don\u2019t meet our stringent standards, leaving you with only the best enquiries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So how will a lead meet the required standard? Criteria for a qualified enquiry will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being the homeowner<\/li>\n<li>Providing correct contact details<\/li>\n<li>anting home improvements within six months<\/li>\n<li>Looking for quotations for the relevant work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once all the above has been met, the lead becomes qualified and is then distributed to you. The same rules apply to every lead that comes into our system and the consumer will expect to hear from you within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>How do Internet leads compare to advertising?<\/h2>\n<p>If you decide not to choose lead generation to increase your business sales, then your other option would be offline advertising such as newspapers.<\/p>\n<p>But in fact, there is no comparison between Internet leads and advertisements in newspapers or the Yellow Pages. With leads, you only pay for each you receive. However, with offline advertising you pay a set fee no matter if it is or isn\u2019t successful. This means you can spend thousands of pounds with no guarantee of any sort of return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that the amount of people buying a newspaper or using the Yellow Pages is lessening every year. The Internet is such a widely accessible and easy-to-use tool. A couple of clicks and you have exactly what you want, rather than filtering through pages of advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>At Quotatis, if you buy 10 leads, you receive 10 leads. Whilst we can\u2019t guarantee that every single one will guarantee a sale, it\u2019s certainly a lot more worthwhile than plumping your money into offline methods.<\/p>\n<h2>But are your leads any good?<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a good sales technique then no matter the consumer, you\u2019re unlikely to get the sale. Every lead we provide has been qualified and the customer has made a conscious decision to receive quotes for what you offer. It\u2019s now your job to convert this interest into a sale.<\/p>\n<h2>So how can I make the most from leads?<\/h2>\n<p>Speed is essential when it comes to getting the most from your leads. Once the request has been made we\u2019ll pass it onto you the moment it has been verified. This means if you make quick contact, the customer may still be on their computer. Remember, they\u2019re waiting for your call.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at our Infographic below to get a better idea of why speed is so important:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/RapidResponseInfoG-598.jpg\" alt=\"RapidResponseInfoG-598\" width=\"598\" height=\"2576\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-180 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 598px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 598\/2576;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leads come from a number of sources, whether it is an affiliate, email or PPC campaign.
