Double glazing leads for installers
Double glazing leads are enquiries from homeowners who want quotes for new windows. This page explains how the enquiries from this site work, what makes a lead worth paying for, and what to ask any lead provider before you sign up.
How the leads from this site work
Homeowners ask for quotes on this site. The quote service is run by Leads Do Work Ltd, which also publishes the site. Each enquiry goes to up to 4 installers who cover the homeowner's postcode, and those installers contact the homeowner directly. Installers pay for the introductions, as the page on how the site makes money says.
The price and the terms are set by Leads Do Work Ltd, and you will see them when you register. Read them before you agree, and ask about anything that isn't clear.
What homeowners are told to ask you
This site advises homeowners to be careful about who they hire, so expect questions. They are told to ask for a written quote with the specification itemised, for the guarantee in writing and whether insurance backs it, for who will fit the windows and how the work will be certified, and for their cooling-off rights. The guides on buyer beware set out what they read. If you can answer all of that clearly, you are already ahead of many firms.
What makes a double glazing lead worth paying for
The usual test is whether the person:
- owns the property;
- has a budget in mind;
- wants the work done soon;
- lives in the area you cover;
- has given complete, contactable details.
A vague enquiry from someone who won't talk costs you time. A clear one from an owner with a timescale is worth a prompt call.
Turning leads into jobs
Call or reply quickly, because homeowners are often asking several firms. Give a clear written quote that says what is included, since hidden extras are the thing homeowners are told to look for. Be ready to show your certification and recent work, and to say how you will deal with the guarantee.
Questions to ask any lead provider
- Is each lead exclusive to me, or shared, and with how many other firms?
- What does a lead cost, and when am I charged?
- What happens if a lead turns out to be invalid, a duplicate or outside my area?
- How are leads checked before they reach me?
- Is there a contract, a minimum spend or a notice period, and how do I stop?
Ask Leads Do Work Ltd the same questions when you register.
