Lead generation is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s not something you can throw $100 at and expect an immediate return of $1,000. While more and more homeowners are remodeling their homes, more and more contractors are entering the arena as well.

However, when you take a step back and analyze groups of leads vs. individual referrals, you can see why patience pays off with lead generation.

Ready to receive leads this week? Give us a call at 866-456-6977 to sign up with CraftJack today. Starting July 1, CraftJack will be offering five free leads for pros who prepay $500 (all of which go towards your referrals).
