Without a doubt, a potential siding client's first impression of you (and your company) is critical. Any top producing siding salesman will tell you (if they like you, aren't competing against you and it's the fifth Tuesday of the second month in a leap year) that first impressions are a deep topic requiring significant consideration. Let's begin.
The very first thing you must understand is your potential siding clients are sizing you up from “their” first contact – not yours. They may not even know who you are yet but they are drawing conclusions about you almost immediately. So Siding Leads - first Impressions Tip #1 is: when a siding lead is generated, the potential siding client that submitted the siding estimate request has an |
anticipated, acceptable, predefined response time in mind (whether they are conscious of it or not.) If you respond to your siding leads before your potential siding clients response time is up - you will immediately impress the heck out of them. Even if you are one of those guys who like to come into the estimate last, you can still achieve this by immediately contacting your siding leads and scheduling an appointment at a later date - if that works for your client. The key here is, if you receive your Siding Leads instantly you can immediately choose how you wish to respond to your potential client and all possibilities are open to you. If you miss siding leads or the leads take days to get to you – your first impression has been made and now you will have to make up for it... if you can. |
