Why leads alone don’t work

More leads aren’t the answer. A system is.

Maybe you’ve been here before: a pile of names in a spreadsheet, no way to tell where they came from, and nothing to catch them when they landed.

Leads on their own don’t fix anything. Nobody follows up fast enough, no trust has been built, and they buy from whoever answered first. So we don’t sell leads. We build and run the whole system.

  1. We don't stop at the ad. Every lead gets a text inside a minute.

  2. Nothing is copy and paste. Your ads are filmed on your jobs, with your customers.

  3. We report cost per job, not just cost per lead.

010203WHAT GETS THROUGH

The Acquisition System

Four parts, one system.

01Attention

Right postcodes, right homeowners, every day.

We run Meta ads that put your business in front of the people most likely to want the job: the postcodes you want to work in, the houses that suit it, the budgets that fit.

No waiting for the phone to ring, and no hoping someone remembers your name.

Turn it up when you want more work. Turn it down when the diary's full.

02Trust

Your real jobs and real customers, on camera.

Before the ads go out, we film your proof: finished jobs, happy customers, and you explaining how you work. Shoots run quarterly or monthly, depending on your package.

Then that footage becomes the ads. By the time someone enquires, they feel like they already know you.

Nobody hands thousands of pounds to a stranger off the internet.

03Capture

A lead page for every campaign, with the filter built in.

Every campaign gets its own lead page, built for that one job. It asks the questions you'd ask on the phone: postcode, budget, timeline.

Genuine buyers get through in under a minute. Everyone else gets a polite reply and stays off your phone.

What reaches your phone is a real enquiry with a real budget.

04Convert

A text inside a minute, and every job tracked to won or lost.

We set your CRM up for you. Every new lead gets a text inside a minute, surveys get reminders, quotes get followed up, and every job is marked won or lost.

You see what came in, what it cost and what turned into work. We fill the pipeline, you close the job.

We show you what each job cost, not just each lead.

Our targetEvery lead called within 5 minutes.

Our own ads got nothing for the first two and a half weeks, then picked up and kept going.

Throughout, we adjust the system as needed, and we encourage you to record your sales calls so we can help you close.

Your side of it

What we need from you.

  • Your first 30 days

    Most of your time is in the first 30 days: the strategy session, the shoot, set-up and a few calls. After that it's shoots quarterly or monthly, quick approvals, a weekly report and WhatsApp when you need us.

  • What we need to launch

    Your information, Meta access, you set up on GoHighLevel and actually using it, your offer, the shoot booked and done, and approvals.

  • Call the leads, within 5 minutes

    That's your main job. We agree up front what a qualified lead looks like. If qualified leads aren't called within 5 minutes, it isn't the leads.

  • Not keen on the camera?

    Most people aren't. It's interview style, there's nothing to memorise, and no dancing.
