I was swapping emails yesterday and today (I had also spoken with him on the phone) with a new restoration client prospect and he asked some great questions before signing up for a lead gen program… So I figure I would copy/paste the conversation here so everyone else can benefit as well on multiple levels… 1- On a practical level as we go back and forth about specifics on what we define as a lead so it’s crystal clear, pricing and billing structures, call tracking dashboard capabilities, etc. 2- On more of a personal level which should alleviate any concerns of working with a new marketing company. There is a ton of rapport and trust built here as questions are answered and concerns are assuaged. I really think this showcases my personal and professional code of ethics that I conduct myself by. ———————-- Hey Justin, A couple of questions: My Response: If a lead ends up having a plumber out, and they sort out the issue in full and get paid for it, I won’t bill you for that lead. As far as disputes and invalid leads etc…I truly hate the “legalese” of contracts, it’s just a formality of doing business. In real world talk here, you don’t have to worry about invalid leads as there won’t be any. I, or a staff member, review all call recordings before sending the weekly report for billing so that I already know they’re valid and so I know what to charge. They are always: 1- Within your specified service area. Calls are very targeted location wise. If anything weird still slips through, just lmk, I’ll go back over the call recording to make adjustments, and take it off the final invoice w/o argument. 2. Is our $1500 shown on our dashboard as credit? If for some reason we decide to terminate the agreement before we use all of it, would we get it back? My Response: If you don’t like the calls I send you I’ll refund your purchase in full, no questions asked. Plus, both Google Pay and Paypal will immediately side with the buyer and refund your money immediately if a dispute is filed. I get a lot of guys that are/were using *Edited so I don’t get sued but you know who I mean!* or *Edited so I don’t get sued but you know who I mean!* etc and they complain about getting calls for pressure washing, or roofing jobs and nonsense like that. I’m only sending strictly restoration calls…very targeted. If some homeowner calls in for anything other than that because they thought maybe it was related enough that you would/could do the job, but don’t…I won’t bill you for the lead. 3. Is there going to be a contact for us in case we have dispute issues or for whatever other reasons? My Response: You’ll get a phone number that, if it isn’t answered live, the voicemails are checked and responded to at least once if not twice a day 365 days a year at 12 and/or 4pm eastern time. Same timeframe/availability for the email contact. 4. Is there a way to put a credit card on file instead of Google pay? My Response: Both Google Pay and Paypal can be paid via credit or debit card when I invoice through them. I’m working with my call tracking dev to make a more integrated, automated billing system… But right now, call recordings still have to be gone over for reasons mentioned above (validity and service type so I know what to charge) and then the invoice manually put together and sent to be paid. All great questions thanks, I’m actually going to integrate all of those into a more comprehensive onboarding FAQ I’m working on for new clients. LMK any other q’s, and again…I’m available for a call after 5’ish my time. His next follow up response after that lengthy, in depth email response answering his questions and addressing his understandable concerns: Hey Justin,
I’m totally with you on ” truly hate the “legalese” of contracts” but as the payer I have to understand what I’m paying for.
I’m not familiar with the payment platforms you mentioned, I will take your word on it (please understand, everybody can reach out to us offering leads, take the advance money and then to disappear).
I would like to start working with you, please let me know how to move forward.
My Response:
I get it, I hope my last email made it clear on how I define valid, billable leads. And how there will never be an issue with invalid leads/billing/disputes. Both the contract and the payment processors are for your protection and peace of mind. You can sign what I sent you earlier in Docusign. And then I can send an invoice via either Google Pay, which is from The Google, doesn’t get more trustworthy or secure than that. No processing fee there. or Paypal, which has been the most common digital payment processor on the planet since the 90’s. There’s a 3% processing fee on that. It might be overkill, but if you need more peace of mind… I always have my office addresses listed in my email sig to abide by CAN-SPAM laws and on my company website as well. Plus there’s tons of professional and personal background info between my contact, about, and personal bio pages here: https://www.realtimeleadgen. https://www.realtimeleadgen. https://www.realtimeleadgen.
As well as the various other social accounts linked to from there, especially my Linkedin profile.
If you check the WHOIS registration date on my website it shows I’ve been using this domain for over a decade since 2012.
Can’t fake that.
My Youtube channel has tons of content on it, a lot of which has me in the videos vs just being faceless, voiceless, text screenshots:
The about section has the stats on the join date and view count which is 2013 and almost 14k views.
https://www.youtube.com/@ That’s their stats, not something I can add or edit. If you scroll down the videos section you can see I started focusing on restoration marketing specifically in 2015. The old quality is embarrassing but I leave it up for referencing it for things like this. Point of all that is…there is nothing anonymous or “fly by night” about me or my business. There would be no way for me to disappear with anyone’s money. I love what I do, and am very good at what I do. I’m around for phone calls from now till around 7pm eastern. Otherwise I’m around for calls from 9-7 tomorrow.
You’ve probably noticed this picture that I use on various pages of my website of me and my beautiful girlfriend.
Obviously, my handsome face matches up with all of my Youtube videos! And you can tell from our phone call that my voice matches the same.
I’m the real deal!
Internet marketing since the late 90’s, doing SEO and lead gen since 2007, and switched to complete focus on lead generation and marketing ONLY to the restoration industry specifically since 2015.
So there you have it guys, great questions and I hope the answers provided some insight for you as well. Especially if you’re on the fence about signing up or have been burned by bullshit “lead gen” or maybe even worse “spammy SEO guys” in the past. I get it. Give me a call or shoot me an email to talk.

I feel like it’s good to document one’s “stuff” that they’re doing…and was recently inspired to do more of it by the Great and Powerful Alex Hormozi.
I hope this serves you in one way or another…
If nothing else it should show you how I’m constantly learning and adapting to serve my restoration clients better…
In this case, I’m looking for the best answering service possible…
Why?
As you know I record all phone calls for quality and training purposes but of course also for tracking and billing reasons.
So I’ve listened to A LOT OF CALLS over the years…
And some of them are truly AWFUL!
I’ll embed a few into this post so you can see what I mean.
The only thing I edited out is any personal information for obvious privacy reasons. Specific street addresses, full phone numbers, etc…
Other than that, they are completely unchanged, including…
To note: I tried sorting some of this out as a professional, but they could/would not get their shit together, so unfortunately (for them) they got the axe and I’ve been sending leads to one of their competitors(who knew how to answer the damn phone properly and land jobs!) instead. Absolutely painful to listen to I know! The just show you, or rather, allow you to hear, how completely inadequate (being very kind there) these generic, bullshit answering services are for handling calls for a restoration company. That’s why I’ve started a conversation with a company that’s been around a long time and comes highly recommended by various fellow marketers that I’ve grown to trust and respect over the years. I’m planning on starting with a high quality company like this and make sure they can customize things as needed for maximum lead gen results in our focus industry specifically. Here’s how the initial conversation started, just to give you an idea of how efficient and purposeful I am for restoration marketing clients. And if you’re one of these guys using one of these nonsense services, hopefully this gives you the kick in the ass to stop, as it’s costing you jobs and taking money out of your pocket big time!
Had a few q’s…
My primary and more immediate interest in your service is for screening calls that I generate for clients in the water damage restoration industry specifically.
I record all phone calls, and I’ve listened to some absolute garbage answering services that some of these guys are using to accept calls after normal business hours, middle of the night emergency hours, or even for their main operating hours. It costs them jobs/money which costs me money as well by default.
Besides that…it’s also a matter of screening out spam/robocalls before they get to the client and wasting their time and screwing up my stats. I’ve started testing a simple IVR and that seems to really help squash a lot of that but still…
I’m trying to get a better handle on all of this for the best call flow and admin for billing etc too.
So can I provide a basic call answering script and an indexable/searchable FAQ sort of file that we can tweak over time?
There’s going to be some basic stuff to be able to answer quickly and reliably like if it’s an emergency, if it’s primary water damage vs a mold remediation situation, or storm damage…if the caller is the homeowner vs just a renter that can’t authorize the work, do they have insurance if so what kind, etc.
Am I getting seasoned people that have been doing this a while so they’re good at it?
And I mean no offense of course, but am I getting American native English speakers?
How are things charged…on a per minute basis? I’m sure you guys are aware more than most people of the crazy spam epidemic of robocalls and telemarketers etc. Are the charges rounded up to the nearest minute or anything per call or how would that work and add up fighting this incoming spam?
On a related note, are you integrated with the Nomorobo or similar service and/or internal blacklist to block these kinds of calls in the first place? And can you integrate a blacklist that I’ve been compiling for years of the same?
What’s your live transfer like? What is the caller id going to be when forwarding those calls to the client…one of your internal numbers or the actual callers number? Can you transfer to just one number or can you round robin things to multiple numbers etc?
With enough detail and training could they not just initially answer, screen, and transfer the call, but also perhaps set appointments?
Are you strictly for phone calls or do you also manage texts, emails, and live chat?
What’s your call recording situation? I already record all calls on my end for quality/training/billing purposes. I’m assuming you guys do too for similar reasons. My main concern there is not having two redundant disclaimers play for the caller.
How are things reported…is there a dashboard or something or an excel sheet sent with notes etc?
So that’s where we’re at with that guys…I’m eagerly waiting on a response to move things forward.
I’ll keep you posted.

For the next 3 days, or for the first 9 people that hop on this offer, whichever comes first... We are offering free water damage leads for action takers... It's currently Monday 4/17/23 And to be very clear, when we say "lead" we mean a live phone call direct from the local homeowner that is in immediate need of the specific restoration services that you offer...period, FULL STOP! Neither the timeframe nor the 9 person limit are your typical marketing "false scarcity" bullshit... 3 day limit - I'm only rewarding action takers. And for that matter, I only want to work with people who really get after it and can pull the trigger on high value opportunities. 9 person limit - That's the current number of new projects I like to start at any one time. That's the workload I like to take on that I know with my current SOP's and staff that I can handle efficiently and effectively. Capping it at 9, I know I can setup those new projects and start generating quality leads for them in the appropriate timeframe (typically within 7-30 days, but can take up to 90 for large metros with high competition). I've been kicking ass in the restoration marketing industry for nearly 9 years now! That's a lot of hyper focused (it's the only vertical I'm in), deep dive research, finely tuned templates and SOP's, and high authority assets to rank new projects quickly and effectively. If you've been reading my blog for a while, or have been on my email list, or a subscriber to my Youtube channel...you'll see that pattern and know that I'm being genuine when I say that. First come first serve...3 days and the free bonus leads offer expires...or once the first 9 new clients pull the trigger and sign up, I'm closing my doors again for a while (legitimately). When I open them back up in a few months, I have no plans of offering any sort of discount until, maybe, my typical Black Friday and/or Christmas/New Years annual sales. Here's the deal... Purchase 5 restoration leads, get a bonus lead for free. Purchase 7 and get 2 for free. Purchase 10 leads and get 3 bonus water damage leads for free. Take action and... LET'S GET AFTER IT!

Thanks Justin Original post:Free Water Damage Leads Via https://www.realtimeleadgen.com/free-water-damage-leads?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=free-water-damage-leads We wanted to create a separate page dedicated to restoration marketing in a broader sense vs our more specific water damage leads page. Why? Marketing goes well beyond strict lead generation. With the latter, it’s just a matter of sending qualified calls to you as the business owner. Yes, of course that’s via different marketing methods, primarily search engine marketing and local maps listings. But, this is done with our own branded assets vs yours. That way we can track said leads via trackable phone numbers that forward to yours in real time. But a more complete water damage marketing campaign would include things such as: SEO For Restoration Companies
Making you and your company the locally recognized authority in the water restoration industry. This would also include running highly effective Pay Per Click campaigns direct to your company landing pages.

Original post:Restoration Leads FAQ Via https://www.realtimeleadgen.com/restoration-leads-faq?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=restoration-leads-faq I absolutely looooove Google! I’ve been beyond fascinated with search engines, obsessed even…even before Google was a thing… …think Lycos, AltaVista, AskJeeves, WebCrawler, Excite, OG Yahoo, etc…super early versions of what we now consider modern day search engines. Early 90’s nostalgia… Then came Google officially in ’98…and as we all know they grew into the 800lb Gorilla of the industry…now with around 85% of the total market share in search!!! That’s why my company Real Time Lead Gen is highly focused on marketing in their search engine specifically…as that’s where the lion’s share of the business is…by far. The old adage “Don’t judge a book by its cover” definitely applies here. No special lights, camera, or backdrop…just snapped a quick pic with my cell phone. The tshirt is a decade or so old now and beat to shit I know…but I wear it often. I received it as part of the first real marketing mastermind I was a part of back then and it really anchors things in for me… The equally rough looking hat (I’m not really a hat guy in general tbh) is one I inherited from my Pop after he passed a few years back… I wear that often for similar reasons… It keeps me focused and motivated…and reminds me of my roots… It’s from CAT, the heavy equipment manufacturer, and my Grandfather wore it often on job sites (he was a land developer, bridge builder, and local entrepreneur himself). As I update this page, it’s the the very beginning of spring and just getting warm…so my flannel (again, pretty worn out but super comfortable) is draped over the back of my chair at the moment. Point being…I don’t wear suits to work… …and I’m not going to put one on to pose for BS pics for the company page here as that would be utterly unauthentic… I operate my business from a home office and wear what’s functional, comfortable, and as far as I’m concerned, looks great too. That’s me And that’s how I get after it, every day, cranking out maximum leads for clients. I’ll reference the Great And Powerful Alex Hormozi marketing genius (another major influence on my business and life in general) who is generally wearing a wife beater and jorts with or without a flannel shirt depending on the situation. The dude (and his equally awesome wife) are worth about $100 Mill…and about a decade younger than I… ‘Nuff said… Justin Hess – Owner of Real Time Lead Gen – We’ll Make Your Phone Ring!
