CLOSING GENERAL SESSIONS
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.
