FAQ

Question 1

What is a lead?

Accepted Answer

A lead is a person or organization that has an interest in your services. The interest is expressed by calling one of our phone numbers designated to serve your industry.  In addition,  a lead will have shared their interest in an industry specific service and shared their zip code which we validate as being a zip code that your business services.

Question 2

Why are you asking for business licenses or credentials?

Accepted Answer

License information helps us verify your legitimacy.   Also, displaying your license or credentials on our directory adds to your business credibility and increases the chances of a potential customers reaching out to you.

Question 3

What if a lead turned out not to be a potential customer?

Accepted Answer

We use state of the art call examination to determine if the caller met the requirements to being a billable call.  We use standards such as a minimum call duration, valid answering rules such as no voicemail pick up, no customer service representatives saying they will call the caller right back, etc. in order to establish what is considered a billable call.  We do allow for lead reviews but the speed at which these are done will vary.  Accounts will be credited for any billed leads that are challenged and determined to be invalid.

Question 4

How will I be billed?

Accepted Answer

We bill for leads on a daily basis and you are are auto-charged for every billable lead at the end of each day.  Most leads are marked as billable or not immediately once the call has completed based on simple call duration calculation.  There are some incidents when we must examine the call to ensure the caller did not reach voicemail and that the call was answered in a timely manner and that the other simple rules of engagement have been adhered to.

Question 5

Am I able to reject leads?

Accepted Answer

Leads being marked as billable or not are handled by The Client Connector automation or manually by staff.   Given the rules of engagement and your adherence, there should be very limited situations where you will need to request rejection.  Any rejection requests are handled on a case by case basis. You will have access to all billable leads within your dashboard in your account.

Question 7

Are there monthly fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a small once a month fee for each active profile you have in our system. This monthly fee is the equivalent of the default minimum price per lead which depends on the industry and is currently $15-25.  This allows us to quickly terminate customers that do not maintain a valid payment method on file.  Ultimately this helps to keep our leads going to active customers that are committed to providing excellent service to the leads.

Question 8

Does it cost anything to sign up?

Accepted Answer

Every business that comes on our system needs to begin with a small setup fee.  This allows us to get your business profile up and running and verify you have a legitimate payment method on file.  We also require that each business maintain a prepaid balance of 3 of your highest bid leads.  Each night we will charge back to this amount.  This allows us to keep active customers current in the system while keeping the lead prices as low as possible by our instantly removing delinquent customers that may lead to higher than needed bids. Give us a call as we are happy to explain everything about our program.

Question 9

What if I no longer want to purchase leads from The Client Connector?

After the 30 days has expired, we will refund any unused prepaid lead balance.   The setup fee is non-refundable.  With the ability to pause your account at anytime, you can avoid being billed for any leads during the last 30 days.

You can also cancel anytime so you are not bound by any long term contracts what so ever.

Accepted Answer

We use a variety of methods to generate a steady stream of incoming calls.  These methods includes SEO for the 100`s of sites that we own and operate, search engine marketing including pay per click or other paid advertising, social media, content distribution and other proprietary methods.

Question 17

Are The Client Connector leads exclusive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we only sell a lead to a single business.  The only time that multiple businesses can pay for the same lead is if the lead were to find us on multiple websites and generate two unique calls in which we connect them to different businesses.  This can happen if the caller calls on multiple days or uses multiple zip codes in the screening process.  This is rare but has happened.

Question 18

What is contained in a business profile?

Accepted Answer

A business profile is simply a way of setting up a unique campaign that we can advertise.  A profile includes a single industry, 1 or more zip codes with  bids, contact information where we can send the lead or caller, a business name and address for our directory and billing information. A bid is how much you are willing to pay for a lead in a given zip code.

Question 19

What makes a lead billable?

Accepted Answer

Businesses can set their preferred rate for leads by bidding on specific zip codes where they want to acquire leads. We vet each lead by verifying the industry and noting the customers zip code, ensuring we match them with the right business. The potential customer is then connected directly to the business.  To decide if a lead is chargeable, we consider the call duration and prompt response by the business owner (avoiding voicemails or immediate callbacks).  These criteria are essential as, based on our observations, businesses without clear lead engagement strategies often miss out on potential jobs. Ensuring billable interactions boosts the likelihood of conversions.  If a lead inquires about services you do not offer or unrelated to your domain, simply inform them and end the call. This quick assessment helps in preventing charges for irrelevant leads.

Question 20

Can I have multiple business profiles for my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  If you wish to purchase leads in more than 1 industry or cover different time zones with different operating hours you can define as many business profiles as necessary to ensure you have the coverage you need.  Since bids are set on an industry/zip code level you can customize your campaign whichever way works best for you.
