Pay Per Call Marketing in Spokane County, WA for Painters

Every painting call out of Spokane County ends in one of three answers: yes, no, or not yet. With 549,056 people and 231,205 homes in the county (Source: censusreporter.org.), the useful work is sorting each caller into the right one quickly, partly before your phone rings and partly in the first few minutes after you pick up.

Yes

Owners occupy 140,832 of the county's 218,395 occupied homes (Source: censusreporter.org.), and an owner on the line with a clear job is a yes. That might be a Spokane house that wants its trim and siding done this summer, a kitchen in Spokane Valley that needs its cabinets refinished before the holidays, or a rental in Airway Heights whose owner is ringing between tenants. The move on a yes is simple: fix the walk-round date while the caller is still listening, and put it in writing the same day with your L&I registration number on the estimate, as the state requires on every bid (Source: lni.wa.gov.).

No

Some calls should never reach you, and intake turns them away before they do.

The caller over the state line. Liberty Lake sits close to Idaho, and someone in Post Falls who searched for a Spokane Valley painter is a real homeowner with a real job. Your Washington registration is a Washington registration, though, and unless you have told us you work in Idaho, the call goes no further.

The tenant asking about the outside. A renter can sometimes approve a bedroom colour. A renter cannot approve the siding, and the screening question about ownership comes before the transfer.

The address off your map. The county runs from the city of Spokane out to Medical Lake, Cheney, Deer Park and little Spangle (Source: en.wikipedia.org.). If your crew stays close to the city, a Spangle caller does not reach you.

Not yet

The hardest calls are the good ones that arrive at the wrong moment. An exterior request after the first hard frost of autumn is a spring job; say so and offer an April visit. A buyer who has not closed yet cannot sign for anything, however keen. And an owner whose house is still waiting on a roofer or a carpenter is booking a painter for a date nobody can predict. For each of these, book the follow-up on the call rather than leaving it to them.

What you are billed for

Only the yes and not-yet calls reach you, and those are the ones you pay for: live Spokane County callers connected to your business, exclusive to you, with no rival painter in the county sharing them. The no calls, ad clicks and online forms never appear on the invoice. Still open is the conversation length that makes a call chargeable, which sits with the pending items on this page.
