A free lead generating service for you

I have been searching for that 'Killer App' since I started this network and I have been determined to link and lever the considerable traffic that arrives on the Landscape Juice Blog. I have also held several discussions with founder members here in a bid to establish what they ultimately wish to gain from the membership. The feedback, which has been extremely useful, has flagged up one need in particular and that is to find a way of generating landscaping leads directly from the public. Today sees the start of this service and it is hoped, after an initial one month testing of the system, will be expanded further. It is early days so feedback will be needed but the essence of this concept is simplicity. The enquiring client will post their details into a simple form on the Landscape Juice site - after which it will be sent to participating Landscapers, Garden Maintenance operatives and Garden Designers via our internal mailing system. Only those who are signed up can receive the initial lead, however, you may forward on the email to a colleague or friend should the details not match with what you can offer or if you are too busy to respond. The important part is that you respond quickly and if you are unable to deal then pass it to someone you feel can do so. This concept has been used by findareporter.com and has virally, after starting on Facebook, reached 14,000 recipients and is now mailed out three times a day, seven days a week. Please email me any feedback via the site email service. Good luck - Phil

It is still very early days but I am delighted that our lead generating service has produced the first potential client for the landscapers and Garden Designers who cover the GU10 area.
