I use an online lead service, it hasnt been that great, but I still take my chances when there are nearby jobs, im finding people use this as kinda a last resort, to hope to find a dirt cheap landscaper, sometimes not anyways hears the situation.
I purchased a lead which stated:
Ready to hire? Ready to hire
Scope of project: Landscaping
Work to begin: Immediately
Budget estimate: Standard
Additional details: we want to redesign land in fron of our building. the land is an oval shape. we are looking to ad benches new grass lighting
So im thinking its a commercial landscape job cool, bought it $15.00...kinda pricy, normally the price decreases over time but I bit at it early. So i send them an email and call the number provided 2 days later nothin, great. Next day i get an email, its a high school kid getting information for a school project. I was bummed out so i asked the kid for more details yea Ill help ya out. Couple days later I email him saying I did spend money for his project do you think you could spread my name around or something for me. Today I get an email from his mother she is livid and says im taking advantage of her son. What would yall have done?
