Found leads from Better Business Bureau site

I googled "contractor association/ group/ exchange. One related website pointed me to Better Business Bureau. Bingo! I hit a jackpot and compiled 67 leads who are in zip code close to me.

Craigslist works. So are leads from Contractor Exchange Group

I recruited a client today, through Craigslist, who is willing to pay my asking rates. I learned from a speaker from S.B.A (Small Business Administration) to not overlook Craigslist, for its strengh in Regional markets. He knows of a mortgage broker who does big loans only all over the states, whose only marketing venue is Craigslist!

The past Monday, I compiled 47 leads from a Contractor Exchange Group website, and fired off 47 postcards on the same day. I got a call 3 days after from one of the lead saying that he got my postcard and needed my service. Talk about target-marketing!

Prospects and postcard campaign

I am focusing on recruiting contractor clients. Just compiled 47 prospects from a contractor trade/exchange website, and fired off 47 postcards.
Now, waiting for the prospects to ripened into clients. :)

(Nicole Roberts Creative did a great job on my postcard design. Rocket Postcards did the printing.)
