About our Lead Service
How Are Serv Leads Different From Sites Out There?
Serv B2B marketplace is built around a philosophy of better leads, lower prices and friendlier service. We also give professionals better tools to manage the leads we send them
How Many Companies Get Each Lead?
We send our leads to a maximum of 3 companies. Most other services send them to 5. We feel that is too much competition for companies and too many calls from customers.
How Does Billing Work?
Companies can purchase leads with any major bank card. They are able to update their banking card information whenever purchasing a new lead or at any time from within their account settings.
How Much Do Leads Cost?
Serv allows companies to choose between either a Free, Standard or Premium Account. Members with free listings can purchase leads for R100.00 each. Standard Members can purchase leads for half price which is R50.00 and the Premium can purchase leads for R30.00 each.
How Many leads Will I get?
There is no way for us to determine exactly how many leads you will get. It depends on your location and how many companies are in your area. It also depends on other factors like how many leads you have already accepted or declined and your general history with us.
How Many Leads Will Turn Into Clients?
We do not make any type of guarantee as to how many leads will turn into clients. Companies with good communication skills and a strong sales and follow-up process in place tend to have more success turning leads into clients.
If you are not comfortable talking to people or have poor sales skills, you may want to find someone else to handle those aspects of the leads to increase your chances of success.
What Happens If I Get A "Bad" Lead?
We define a bad lead as any lead with invalid contact information, a lead where the consumer claims they never submitted a quote request. If you get a "bad" lead we will provide a credit on your account that can be applied towards future leads you choose to accept.
Occasionally you may get a lead for someone with a low budget or who is not interested in your work. While we do not officially credit for these, we may make exceptions based on your credit history with us.
Will I Be Able To See A Preview Of A Lead Before Accepting (Or Declining) It?
Yes. Serv currently offers lead previews and automatically matches listed companies with leads based on location and services requested.
How Will I Be Notified When There Is A New Lead?
Immediately after we verify the phone number, emails are sent to listed companies that best match the details of the project. The emails will contain all the project details that were provided to Serv. Additionally, you may view the status of all your leads from within your Serv Account under the menu tab titled "Manage Leads". Upon accepting and purchasing a lead, all the information needed to contact the service seeker will be available.
What does the term ‘Request a Quote indicate?‘Request a Quote indicates that, as a service seeker, you are able to make a selection of the product category that you want and we’ll match you with qualified partners who will get back to you with a quote. | Who can get a quote on Serv?Businesses and individuals who are looking for B2B Services in the fields of Accounting, Marketing, Human Resources, Development and Design, Information Technology and Business Services. |
