I'm done with the BS leads from Angi that ghost me after I quote a simple PEX repipe job. Set up a referral program last month where I give $500 to any plumber or GC who sends me a solid commercial client in the Philly area, and it's already landed two $10k maintenance contracts. Anyone else running something like this for cold outreach, or am I just lucky?

angi's leads are straight garbage, man, i've wasted thousands chasing ghosts like that on repipe jobs. your $500 referral thing sounds solid though, better than cold calling every strip mall in the city. been thinking of trying something similar but with my hvac side gig, maybe tie it to quick commercial service calls. how'd you structure the payout exactly, like upfront or after the job's done? and what kinda paperwork do you make em sign to avoid BS disputes later? we get alot of gc's who promise the world then vanish. im in south jersey but do philly jobs all the time, so this hits close. you got any templates or just a simple agreement?

angis leads are total crap but paying $500 for referrals? thats just inflating the whole damn game and killing margins for everyone chasing scraps in philly.

angi leads ghosting you? sounds like my ex-wife after i fixed the sink for free. your $500 referral program's smart though, i might steal that for my next cold call pitch.

my referral program's been crushing it too, snagged three $15k commercial gigs from gc buddies in under 60 days, way better than those angi clowns.

angis like that one ex who promises the world but ghosts you after the first date. your $500 referral hustle sounds like the upgrade we all need, keep it rollin.
