## Get the project details before the visit.

Identify the facility type and approximate area. Confirm the person selecting the contractor, current service arrangement and desired start date. Record operating hours, access and the tasks included in the request.

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.

Use $197–$230 per paid-search inquiry for contract-acquisition budgeting. Evaluate retained contract contribution after wages, supplies and supervision. Keep one-time cleans separate from recurring accounts.

Compare 10%, 20% and 30% lead-to-paid-job conversion in your budget. At $210 per lead, acquisition costs are $2,100, $1,050 and about $700 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 $210/lead |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10% close rate | 10 | $2,100 |
| 20% close rate | 20 | $1,050 |
| 30% close rate | 30 | $700 |

## Make the first conversation useful.

Arrange a walkthrough with the purchasing contact. Agree the checklist, frequency, supply responsibilities and quality-review process. Price the actual staff time required for the facility.

## Review the opportunity. Then take the next step.

Check the current price, original intent age and ownership category in Matagi before buying. Match the opportunity to your service area, preferred work and available capacity.

Normal and Value leads have different purchase terms. Review prior access and the refund policy, then keep contact, appointment, quote and paid-job outcomes in your records.

### How is a commercial inquiry different from a house-cleaning lead?

### What should I confirm before a walkthrough?

Facility type, area, desired frequency, access, tasks, start date and the person authorizing the contract.

### How should recurring contracts repay acquisition cost?

Track contribution from actual retained months after delivery costs. Record cancellation and changes in staffing or scope rather than assuming a fixed lifetime.

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.
