Extremely hard product to sell because at first, you buy into it with all of the 'success stories' (which they send out so you can tell 'personal stories' to these guys) and yeah there might be some contractors that do have success but few and far between.
-You can try to Google HomeAdvisor Good Reviews but good luck finding a good one - even though all day we preach on the phone how important reviews are for a business.
-You're expected to make 3 approved sales a pay period (2 weeks) but any accounts that get denied legal, not properly licensed, or not registered correctly with the Secretary of State don't count towards keeping your job - it's just considered "positive momentum" towards more sales.
-If these guys are too busy you still have to sell them but get reprimanded if they turn their leads off or switch to busy coverage, which you're told to sell them on the ability to control the account, so then you're pressured to make them take on work or their leads magically get turned on without yours or their knowledge which is super fun to explain.
-If there isn't enough work generating in their area you must decide whether you care about keeping your job with your numbers, so some people adjust tasks and coverage to make it look like there is enough work for him. Like the poor guys in WY or MT.
At the end of the day, I just feel like I'm scamming people. I get more anxiety post-sale than I do making the sale. I have friends and family that are contractors so it makes it really hard to overlook certain things. You can't say that winning one out of ten jobs is a good ROI when HA's ROI is ten thousand times that from them buying those ten leads.
