Thanks Dana. A local roofer will be in touch shortly.
For contractors who want appointments, not another list of names to chase
Yes, I'm a goose. I've also never let a lead go cold, which is more than you can say. Let's move on.

Even if every agency you've hired has burned you. Even if you figure your market's different. Even if you've never run a Facebook ad in your life.
Nobody to hire. No software to learn. You never pick the phone back up after six. Your first appointments land inside three weeks.
23 in your first sixty days, minimum, or we work free until you get them. In writing, before you pay us a dime.
Start with one lead. Her name's Dana, and you're about to lose her.
One very ordinary Tuesday
She's got a leaking roof and you've got a lead. Everything about this should be easy. It won't be, and it takes about six hours to stop being easy.

Thanks Dana. A local roofer will be in touch shortly.
11:42 AM
Standing in her kitchen. Annoyed about her roof. Card in her pocket. Everything you asked for on the form, ticked.
11:43 AM
Phone face up next to her. She hasn't spoken to a single contractor yet. This is the whole opportunity, and it lasts minutes.
12:17 PM
Not lazy. Not bad at sales. Thirty feet up holding a nail gun, with a phone buzzing in a pocket you can't reach.

1:04 PM
Nobody called. She does the obvious thing and types the same request into Google.
2:31 PM
Mike isn't better than you. Mike's roofs aren't better than yours. Mike was near his phone.
3:15 PM
He's in the driveway with a ladder and he leaves a quote on her counter. The job you paid for is now an appointment on somebody else's calendar.
6:08 PM
Boots off, sat in the truck with a gas-station sandwich on your lap, finally with a free hand. You press call.
She was never loyal to Mike. She was loyal to whoever picked up the phone while she still cared.
You didn't buy Mike a lead on purpose. You bought him one anyway.
Eleven forty-two? I'd have had her booked by eleven forty-three. You got there at ten past six. I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed.
GaryThe 4-hour hole
It wasn't the leads.
I know that's what they told you. Bad leads. Tire-kickers. Tough market right now.
Garbage.
It was the six and a half hours between 11:42 and 6:10. That's the whole of it. Nothing else about that Tuesday went wrong.
MIT ran the numbers on this. Fifteen thousand leads. A hundred thousand call attempts. Three years of data.
Call a lead inside five minutes instead of thirty, and here's what happens to you. Not described. Drawn.
15,000 leads · 100,000 call attempts · 3 years
Reach them at all
Not a hundred percent. A hundred times.
100×
Qualify the conversation
Twenty-one times more likely to get a real conversation.
21×
And you?
Five against thirty is the comparison MIT published. Four hours isn't a figure from the study. It's just where your Tuesday actually landed, and it's eight times further out than the last tick they measured.
That gap is the whole business.
It's the hole every dollar you've ever spent on leads has been falling straight through.
And no agency is going to plug it for you. Plugging it means somebody picks up the phone at 11:42 on a Tuesday. Then again at two. Again at six. Again on Thursday.
Nobody with a life is doing that.
His name is Gary. He's a goose. He calls every lead in 47 seconds, then seven more times across five days, until there's an appointment on your calendar or they tell him to get lost.
And you don't have to take my word for any of it. He's on this page. Call him yourself and see what he does to you.
Lead Response Management study, Dr James Oldroyd, MIT Sloan, with InsideSales. Fifteen thousand leads, a hundred thousand call attempts.
Not the ones who said no. Those are fine. The ones who filled in your form, waited, and never heard a word out of you while they still cared.
None of that is a lead quality problem. It's a Tuesday problem.
All seventy typed their number into your form on purpose. Nobody talked them into it. They just needed you to pick up.
Seventy people asked you to call them. Seventy! I'd have had them done by Friday. You've had them since March.
Gary
None of this is news to you. So why's it still happening every week?
Before you tell us you'll just be quicker
None of them failed because you're lazy. They failed because the work shows up at 11:42 on a Tuesday, it has to happen eight times, and you have a business to run.
“I'll call every lead back the same day.”
And you did. For about nine days. Then an install ran long, the crew needed a hand, and Tuesday's leads are still sitting in a tab you never closed.
Lasted nine days
“I'll put somebody on the phones.”
The average appointment setter in America costs $50,455 a year, before payroll taxes. She works forty hours out of a hundred and sixty-eight. She sleeps through the rest. She takes Thanksgiving off. And she quits around March.
$50,455 a year, gone by March
“I'll turn on the automatic text.”
A text isn't a call. She's got four of them from four companies sitting unread. The one guy who actually called is measuring her windows on Thursday.
Four unread texts

Which leaves one option. Something that doesn't get tired, doesn't take it personally, and is still dialing on Friday at seven.
Geese are relentless. Slightly unhinged. Physically incapable of letting a thing go. So we built one that makes phone calls. Rejection doesn't stick to him, and that's the whole point. Attempt six is every bit as cheerful as attempt one.
Easy thing to type on a website. So don't take my word for it. Make him prove it.
Good. Neither would we.
Put your name, your cell and your website in. He reads the site, then calls you on this page about twenty seconds later. It's the same call your leads would get, pointed at you instead, and he doesn't know it's a test.
So try to fob him off.
Seriously. Make his life difficult. It's the only part of this page you can check for yourself before you talk to a human.
Go on, tell me you're just gathering prices. I've heard it four thousand times and I'm undefeated. You fold at “I'll think about it.”

Including the two everybody else leaves off the diagram. What happens to the ones who don't pick up, and the ones who were never going to buy.

Your account, your pixel, your card. Rewritten and retested every month.

HONK
Homeowner, property, timeline, budget, consent — ticked and timestamped.
Not a homeowner
Stopped at the door. Never becomes a lead, never costs you a call.

Gary calls in 47 seconds
HONK
Before she's even closed the tab. Most bookings happen right here.
No answer
Eight calls across five days at rotating hours, plus a text with your name on it.

HONK
Your areas, your lead times, what you will and won't fit. He never quotes.
Not a fit
Dropped, with the reason logged. You never drive to it.
05
Straight onto your calendar
HONK
Live availability, travel time respected, then reconfirmed the night before.
06
You show up and quote
You
The last two feet. That's your entire job in this.
How the chasing works
Five days. Eight goes. Rotating hours, because the woman who won't answer at two will answer at seven. Nobody quietly slides off the bottom of the list.
Half of what Gary books, he books after the third attempt. That isn't clever. It's just the part of the job nobody has the stomach to do by hand.
Put this on my leadsBooked her Thursday at four. Took me six calls. Everyone quits at two. You quit at one, and then you told yourself she was never serious.
Gary
00:00
She hits submit. Homeowner, split-level on the north side, wants it done before Thanksgiving.
47 seconds
Call one. Before she's closed the tab. Most bookings happen right here.
12 minutes
No answer, so a text goes out. Your company's name on it, with a booking link.
2 hours
Call two. Different hour of the day, different odds of catching her.
Day two, morning
Call three. After drop-off, before the day swallows her whole.
Day two, evening
Call four. After six, when she's actually in the house.
Days three to five
Calls five through eight. Then a last-chance text. This is the stretch nobody works, and about a third of your appointments are hiding in it.
Booked
Qualified, dropped into a real gap in your calendar, confirmation away.
The night before
The reconfirm. The cheapest thing you'll ever do to a show rate.
Do that to every lead for thirty days. Here's what your calendar does.

Illustrative, not a promise. Cost per lead and close rate move with your area, your pricing, and how good you are in somebody's living room. We'll build this exact month with your real numbers on the call, before you've spent a dollar.
Your numbers, not ours
Four numbers you already know off the top of your head. The last one's your assumption, not ours, and it starts deliberately low. This argument doesn't need a generous one.
Which leaves 70 a month nobody ever really spoke to. Say five days of chasing turned just a few of those into real conversations:
On those 10 conversations alone

And that's one month
$300,000 a year
Illustrative, not a promise. Your actual numbers move with lead quality, market, pricing and how good you are in somebody's living room. We'll build this with your real figures on the call, before you've spent a dollar.
Fine. But who exactly are you handing your card to?
Alright. Here's the thing itself.
Two of the six run on a loop, which is the bit most people skip and the reason their show rate is a coin toss.
01
Creative, copy, targeting, budget, testing. Your account, your pixel, your data. We just drive it.
02
Homeowner or renting. Property type. Timeline. Rough budget. Consent ticked and timestamped.
03
Your areas, your products, your lead times, your objections. Tested on live calls you listen to yourself.

04
Google or Outlook, live availability, travel time respected. No "I'll check and call you back."
05
Every appointment reconfirmed the night before. Cancellations come back as reschedules instead of empty driveways.
Runs on a loop
06
Spend, leads, connects, booked, showed, won. Plus every call recorded, so you hear what your market says.
Runs on a loop
Comes with it, at no extra cost
01
$1,500
10 to 50-plus new five-star reviews on your Google listing inside thirty days.
Every homeowner Gary books checks your reviews before you knock. A thin listing costs you jobs you already paid to get in front of.
02
$2,500
The ad account, the page and the form, built to bring Gary something worth calling.
An AI caller working bad leads is just a faster way to waste money. This is the half that decides what he's calling about.
03
$1,800
A live report on your site that gives a homeowner something useful and gives you their number.
It catches the people who want a price but aren't ready to talk yet. That's most of them.
04
$1,200
Gary answers your unknown numbers so you never take another cold call.
You're on a roof. He isn't. And he's extremely good at getting rid of people.
3Builds left this month
Not a countdown and not a trick. A build is two weeks of somebody's actual time, training Gary on your trade and testing him on live calls before he goes near a customer. We can run a few at once and then we can't. When these are gone, the next opening is next month.
One job at your average ticket covers the month, twice over.
Gary works Christmas. Gary has always worked Christmas.
What it replaces
A setter on the phones
$45–60k a year
Plus payroll. Works forty of the hundred and sixty-eight hours in a week, and quits around March.
An agency that sends leads
$2–4k a month
They run the ads. The four hours after the form comes in stay your problem. That half is the half we do.
Building it yourself
Six weeks and counting
Ad account, landing page, AI caller, calendar wiring, and somebody to keep the whole thing standing up.
Doing nothing at all
$1,260 a month
Leads you already paid for and never called. Fifteen grand a year, on the card you already own.
Now the question you've been holding since the top. What if it doesn't work?
If Gary hasn't put 23 on your calendar inside your first sixty days, the whole thing keeps running — ads, calls, chasing, all of it — at no monthly cost until it does. And if you'd rather walk at that point, you get the build fee back and you keep the ad account, the page, the lead data and every recording.
Twenty-three is the floor. I'd be embarrassed to stop at twenty-three. You'd be thrilled, which tells us both something.
Gary
Risk is off the table. One question left: is he actually any good?
This isn't a sales call and it isn't a calendar. Gary calls you, right here on this page. You hear exactly what a homeowner hears. Then you decide.
One contractor per trade, per metro. Not because scarcity looks good on a landing page. Because running your roofing ads and your competitor's roofing ads through the same auction, with both of you paying us, pushes both your costs up.
So once a metro's taken, it's taken.
Not on the list?
Ask it on the call. It's twenty minutes and nobody's going to sell at you.
Book a 20-minute callSome people catch it. Most don't. And when they do, it barely dents a thing. She filled in a form about her windows ninety seconds ago. She wants the call. Gary opens by saying he's an automated assistant calling on behalf of your company, which disarms people far more than it puts them off.
You'll hear a dozen test calls before he calls a single real customer. If he isn't good enough, he doesn't go live.
Only people who filled in your own form and checked a box saying, in plain English, that you can call them including by automated or AI-assisted call. Timestamped and stored, so you can produce it if anyone ever asks.
Every call names the company, honors an opt-out on the spot, and stays inside legal calling hours. We won't dial a purchased list, a scraped list, or the spreadsheet in your glove box. Not for any money.
He doesn't guess and he doesn't bluff. He books the appointment, flags the question for you, or offers a callback from an actual human at a time you've already agreed to. Price questions get parked for the appointment. That's where they belong, and it's where you win them.
No. If you've got one, we push into it. If you don't, it lands in your calendar and your inbox. Nobody's migrating anything and nobody's learning new software.
Ten to fourteen days from the deposit. Ad account and page in week one, Gary trained and tested in week two. You sign off on the test calls yourself before he touches a real lead.
You keep all of it. Ad account, pixel and its history, the landing page, the lead data, every recording. We're not holding your audience hostage to stop you walking. Gary would find that undignified.
Twenty minutes, no slide deck
Every month you leave it, another $1,260 of leads you already paid for goes cold.
We'll work out what you paid a lead, how many you actually called back, and what The Gauntlet would've done with the ones you didn't. If the math doesn't work we'll tell you on the call and you'll have lost a quarter of an hour.
Everything on the table, once more
Three builds left this month. The only thing it costs you to find out is twenty minutes.
First thing I'll do is pull everyone you never called back. Bring a chair, it's a long list. I'm not judging you. I'm judging you a little.
Gary
