I used them for three years then I wasn’t able to compete with other window cleaners they put you up against in terms of pricing. At first I did well. I had servicemagic on “high” having them send as many customers my way as I could. I’ve heard different stories in the same industry. Some do well and others don’t. I’ve chosen not to use it now because my ROI the last year and half there was much lower than any of the other forms of advertisement I sent out.
Again, I think it’ll work for some. I believe it is a hit or miss. It should work for some of you guys out there. With the $99 waived fee, I’d try it if you haven’t used it.
I too have had a not so good experience with them. It was great years ago when I first signed on with them. I could pick and choose what leads i wanted to accept. I was only charged for leads that I accepted. That has changed now from my last experience with them about a year ago. You dont have the option now to turn anything down, and you will get leads that you have to pay for and have no say in whether or not you are interested. Some of my leads were in shady parts of town for a handful of windows, or they were leads that didnt match with my service (window installation?) My biggest beef with them is that they lied to me about being the only business that was using the service in my area, and that was a flat out lie. One lady told me that she started receiving phone calls immediately after she submitted her request from about 6 different companies.
This doesnt mean that Servicemagic is not good for everyone. It really depends on how many other competitors are in your area and that are signed into the service.
Chris, I do appreciate the offer though. It just wasnt for me.
