I be Grumpy.

First off if you are trying to run a legitimate long lasting company a website is just as, if not more, importantt han a phone number. Consider getting one, they are a few hundred bucks.

Then you can sign up with services like google adwords and yahoo marketing solutions to put your website in the search engines. Also consider reading a book on SEO so you can learn how to get your site top ranked organically (free).

Next, I am losing faith in lead service providers but if you need leads fast, they are a great place to turn to... even if it's temporary. I do not vouch for any of these services but if you have money to spend they can get you leads. www.servicemagic.com www.roofersnetworx.com www.reliableremodeler.com I currently use service magic although I threatened to quit last week and they gave me a bunch of free leads. I also use roofer networx which is pretty cheap so why not. There are a ton others and don't be suprised if they start spamming you.

Craigs list is free. Try there too. Put up a free add.

If you really want to get serious, you are going to need to put together a marketing campaign. Direct mail works well for commercial and multi family when you work it. You'll have to mail no less than 3 mailings to see optimal results. Expect about a 1% response rate on average. You may get zero response on the first mailing. I have a 1,300 mailing going out JUly 1st. It's my 2nd one to the same list this year and my 5th one to the same list over the last 4 years.

For me getting leads is not a problem. Finding qualified sales reps who can sell premium roofing is a problem.

And WTF are you talking about Trident...This is not a advertising site set up to blow your own horn. Try actually reading the posters question next time....it may help.

Hey Rem star these people are just spamming the links in their signatures.

Trident, make your answers appropriate instead of just an excuse to spam for your company name please.

I trashed the post that you had in this thread for that very reason.
