How many contractors do you need in each area?
Because we schedule so few estimates for each customer, we only need 2 or 3 good
contractors in each area. Once a slot is filled, it's filled, and as you can
imagine, some areas are going fast.
-
I just started my business. Can QualitySmith help me?
Absolutely. We're a great resource for the new contractor. Because you only pay
when QualitySmith performs, we can help build your business with very little
overhead cost.
If you're just starting a business, or if your company is in a slow time of year,
QualitySmith can provide the bulk of your income. We have contractors who rely
on us for virtually all of their business.
If you already have a successful contracting business, a QualitySmith appointment
is a potential bonus job—an opportunity for income with very little fixed
cost attached, and a great way to keep your crew busy during downtime.
-
How do I receive appointments?
Appointments are dispatched by e-mail or fax as soon as they're scheduled.
-
Can you guarantee me a certain amount of business?
Like any other form of advertising—from phone-book ads to billboards—QualitySmith
can't guarantee you any specific number of appointments.
What we can guarantee you, however, is that, if you are one of our preferred
providers, and an appropriate project comes up in your area, you will have a
chance to bid on it.
-
How do I know that homeowners are going to use your online appointment-scheduling service?
We're a trusted resource for customers. Our reputation instills confidence that
each project will be completed by a professional. When we say you're a good contractor,
people believe us.
Customers like QualitySmith for several reasons. First, it's free. Second, we
do the work for them, just like we do the work for you. We save them time and
hassle by setting up appointments for them with 3 qualified contractors. Because
we pre-screen our contractors, customers feel confident and secure in our services.
-
Why should I become an approved or preferred contractor with QualitySmith?
We are one of the most cost-effective marketing tools available to contractors.
We create a no-risk, low-cost way for you to expand your customer base and grow
your business. Our customers are those who haven't been reached by other forms
of advertising and are serious about completing their project with a high-quality
contractor they can trust.
-
So, what do I get for the cost of an appointment?
When you partner with QualitySmith, you gain access to both our support staff
and our national media presence. Though you pay us only when we schedule a confirmed
appointment, we are always working for you—creating new advertising campaigns,
qualifying new customers, scheduling appointments, and perfecting our processes.
Our cost is exceptionally reasonable when compared to less-targeted advertising
campaigns, such as phone book ads and billboards. And the more of our appointments
you receive, the more likely you'll win jobs. For example, if you receive 10
roofing appointments and win 2 jobs at $6,500 each, you've paid only $795 for
$13,000 in revenue—great advertising value.

What requirements are there to join QualitySmith?
If you're already a professional contractor, you'll most likely meet the basic
requirements to partner with QualitySmith. You must be licensed in the state(s)
in which you do business. You must also carry general liability insurance and
workers compensation insurance. You should be or become a member of the Better
Business Bureau or a national, state, or regional contractor's association. In
addition, we ask that you furnish us with three references from satisfied customers.
