Pool Contractor Matchmaking
Share
A story about a friend named Dave Grossblatt who built a successful lead generation business for swimming pool contractors.
"We had a friend, Dave Grossblatt, who had swimmingpoolquotes.com and he was making $2 million a year getting leads. The interesting part was he only made his money 4 months out of the year.
It's like that quote about how the biggest taxi company owns no taxis, the biggest hotel company owns no hotels like Airbnb or Uber. Well, this was the medium-sized pool mogul who builds no pools.
It's a blueprint we've seen work over and over - you take an industry that is well established and local, where the typical owner knows nothing about SEO or SEM. You create the website that does the lead generation, bid on the Google keywords, create an easy-to-use website, grab the customer contact info, and then pass the leads to contractors for a fixed amount per lead. It works even better with high-ticket items like pools since they're $30,000 projects."
