Get the project details before the visit.
Look for approximate square footage, the chosen or preferred material, removal needs and property occupancy. Ask who supplies the product. Record stairs, transitions and furniture movement because they affect the scope beyond the main floor area.
Check the original inquiry date, service area and available project details. Confirm who can approve the work and the customer's preferred contact time.
Turn your close rate into a lead budget.
Include removal, preparation, waste, transport and furniture handling in job contribution. Compare room-sized installations with whole-property work separately. A larger area is useful only when the crew can deliver it at the intended margin.
Compare 10%, 20% and 30% lead-to-paid-job conversion in your budget. At $85 per lead, acquisition costs are $850, $425 and about $283 per paid job. Add estimating and follow-up costs to get the full acquisition cost.
| Budget scenario | Paid jobs per 100 leads | Lead cost per paid job at $85/lead |
|---|---|---|
| 10% close rate | 10 | $850 |
| 20% close rate | 20 | $425 |
| 30% close rate | 30 | $283 |

Common questions
How much do flooring leads cost?
Flooring leads: $45–$125 for exclusive project inquiries. Flooring installation and replacement inquiries. Matagi shows the current price on each opportunity.
What if the homeowner already bought the flooring?
Treat the request as installation-only. Confirm product, quantity, compatibility and delivery status before quoting labor and preparation.
Which measurements should a flooring lead include?
Approximate area and room count are useful for the first assessment. Final quantities and cutting allowances follow the site measurement.
Should refinishing leads be mixed with new installations?
Track them separately. Refinishing uses a different process, equipment and material budget from supplying and fitting a new floor.
How do I calculate my lead close rate?
Divide paid jobs by purchased leads from the same intake period, then multiply by 100. Track appointments and quotes separately, and allow enough time for the jobs to close.
