About Contractor Referral Partners

Why we exist

A bought lead is often sold to several contractors at once, so you pay to compete on price. When the lead is used up, you buy the next one.

There is another source of work that most contractors never build on purpose. Some local businesses meet your customer before you do. A builder needs an electrician. An interior designer needs a painter. A roofer gets asked about siding. Any one of them can send you work for years, with no charge per job.

Building that takes hours of finding, contacting and following up, and your crews are busy on jobs. So we do it for you.

What we do

Most contractors buy leads. Each lead is paid for, worked once and gone. We set up the other source of work: local businesses that already have the customer and do not do your trade.

We find those businesses, contact them for you, phone everyone who replies and introduce you. Then we make sure their calls get answered and that they keep hearing from you. See how it works.

Who we serve

Established trade contractors in the United States, at about $1M or more in yearly revenue. Roofing, HVAC, painting, plumbing, remodeling, landscaping, electrical, siding, windows and doors, decking, fencing, flooring, concrete, tree service, gutters, restoration and drywall.

You choose the kind of work. Builders and property managers hire you on their own projects. Insurance agents and home inspectors pass you a homeowner, who you quote and bill.

How we choose a business

A business goes on your list only when all three of these are true:

• It deals with hundreds of your ideal customers each year.
• Its work comes right before yours in the project, so it has a say in who gets hired.
• It does not offer your trade.

A business on the list is a prospect. It becomes a referral partner only after it has spoken to us or to you and agreed to send work or invite bids.

The terms

• A one-time setup fee and a monthly subscription. We give both prices on a call.
• No long-term contract. You can cancel at any time.
• Each referral partner is assigned to you alone, not shared with another contractor.
• A partner who sends no referral in 90 days is replaced at no extra charge while you are subscribed. This holds while you answer referred customers within one business day and bid within three. Read the guarantee.
• The relationships you build with partners stay yours.

What we will not do

• Sell you a lead, or sell the same partner to two contractors in your trade.
• Send a message for you that is not true for your company, or that you have not approved.
• Tell a business it is speaking to you when it is speaking to us.
• Lock you into a long contract.
• Keep contacting a business that has asked us to stop.

Who runs it

"I've worked with a lot of contractors, and one thing kept coming up. When another business passes on a referral, it's usually for work that's ready now. A builder needs a crew on a house that's already going up. A property manager has units to turn before new tenants move in. A sub can say yes and start.

A lead from Thumbtack or Angi often works another way. The same request goes to several contractors at once. You pay for it, race the others to call first, then compete on price.

That's why I started Contractor Referral Partners. Finding those businesses, reaching out and following up takes hours your crews don't have. So we do it for you, and introduce you to the businesses that have that kind of work."
