Maximizing Paid Leads

Adam Shampaine, CEO @Homefix Custom Remodeling

Customers are turning to the internet to research and choose contractors now more than ever before, and it is imperative for home remodeling companies to diversify their lead generation campaigns to stay relevant and continue growing. Paid Online Lead Generation has become an integral part of most successful mid-sized and large home remodeling companies, but few know how to analyze and maximize Paid Leads, or properly vet and monitor Lead Generation Vendors. When running a digital strategy, it is easy to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars with no discernable return on your investment. Join CEO Adam Shampaine as he discusses the HCR's success, and the steps he took to grow HCR's Paid Internet Lead Program from nothing, to providing upwards of 15% to 20% of its annual gross revenue.
