Tried rolling out a referral deal where I knock $100 off the next flooring job for every buddy they send my way, but in Atlanta it's been crickets after three months. Spent a couple hundred on flyers at the supply house pushing luxury vinyl plank referrals, and only snagged one lead that ghosted me. Frustrated as hell, feels like nobody here wants to spread the word on good tile work anymore.

atlanta homeowners are the worst for referrals, they act like you're asking them to give up their last beer on a hot day. i put out the same deal last year, $75 off for every buddy they send, and got squat after dropping $300 on yard signs around midtown. it's all these cheap bastards chasing the lowest bid from some angie lead hack who ghosts after the install. been doing lvp for 12 years and it's always the same BS, they love the work til it's time to hook a guy up. if it's not handing out flyers at every home depot, nothing sticks here. screw it, might just start charging referral fees to realtors instead of begging.

man, atlanta homeowners are the worst for referrals, i threw $150 at yard signs last summer and got zilch, just a bunch of 'i'll think about it' bs. feels like everyone's too busy scrolling tiktok to tell their neighbor about a solid lvp job. damn frustrating when you bust your ass on installs and they act like it's nothing.

atlanta folks treat referrals like they treat traffic - nobody moves for anybody, just sit there honkin' at your flyers 😂

atlanta homeowners are the worst for referrals, they take the discount and ghost like it's their job. spent a ton on those flyers too and got squat, this city's turning into a total crapshoot for flooring pros.

atlanta homeowners are the worst for referrals, they take your $100 off and then ghost their own damn friends like it's nothing. spent good money on those flyers and got zilch, makes you wanna quit chasing leads altogether.

man, atlanta homeowners are the worst for referrals, theyll take the discount bait but then act like you never existed. ive been chasing leads here for years and its always the same crap, spend a fortune on flyers at home depot and get zilch in return. last summer i tried offering $50 off for every buddy referral on my coretec lvp jobs and only pulled in two actual installs before they dried up. feels like everyones too busy scrolling angi for the cheapest hack instead of hooking up a solid guy. pissed me off so bad i almost quit door knocking altogether. whats your cutoff gonna be before you ditch the program? been there with the ghosting bullshit, it sucks.

switch your referral to 10% off the full job instead of a flat $100; ive seen that pull in twice the leads around here without the flyers.

hell, your atlanta folks probably think $100 off is just enough to buy a fancy coffee and forget they know you, try bribing 'em with free beer next time.
