Thanks for the opportunity, I'm sorry nobody within my organization got back with you. I hear this type of info all to often. It really makes me sick to hear it. When I bring it up in a sales meeting it's always "Oh, it was to far out of pocket from The Woodlands, or it wasn't a direct referral"
All I can express is that I had to make a decision a long time ago as to what was more important. Working the job at hand, or running the sales lead at hand. I've always been a hands on guy and the decision came easily to me, give up on the marketing and let your hands run the leads.
I've busted my chops over many years to build a company that builds a lot of pools every year without direct advertising. We build quite a lot of pools on both the direct referrals and indirect referrals like these pool forums generate.
I won't say that I come to the forums expressly to generate sales leads because it isn't true. But I do generate leads due to my interaction with members like yourself and get very frustrated when I hear about stuff like this. your call should have been given equal importance as any other lead.

I'm glad that you signed with a good contractor, I know you'll be pleased.

See Ya,
Kelly
