Price Engines

The Internet is such a diverse source of information and no more so than the ways in which an individual can choose to interact with you based on their own online social medium preferences.

That was a bit of a mouthful – let me explain further.

Some people are quite happy to visit your website, others may be interested to receive alerts when you update your website (to save them missing anything – after all, you can’t expect them to keep popping back just to check can you?). Others spend all their time on social sites like Facebook or Twitter whilst others will be keen readers, writers and followers of Blogs that interest them, including micro blogging platforms like Tumblr (which make sharing all kinds of online content including video incredibly easy).

Whatever platform or programme they prefer to use, if you want to stay in touch with both existing and potential customers, it’s vital to embrace as many of these different platforms as you’re comfortable with.

It doesn’t have to be big, you don’t have to update every day and each platform has it’s own etiquette and ‘rules of engagement’.

The thing is – can you afford to miss the opportunity to interact with those customers? I didn’t think so.

Here’s how Price Engines is currently interacting with it’s homeowner visitors:

Why not try visiting them yourself? Perhaps it can give you some ideas?

Our ‘Quoter family of websites are available online, 24/7, for homeowners to get their instant online quote and whilst the figures are lower (compared to daytimes/evenings), it never ceases to amaze the number of visitors who go on to get an online quote in the small hours.

However, when we send you a qualified lead, it means that we’ve literally just put the phone down from calling that homeowner who’s interested in your product, so to stand the best chance of catching them in, why not call them the minute you receive their details?

In addition to our online delivery service which you can access from any Internet enabled computer, we can also deliver sales leads to you by email and/or SMS text service to your nominated email addresses and mobile phones.

Just login to your Customer Admin Area and update your profile and lead delivery preferences to day.

The other day, we were asked by a company how they could improve their feedback star rating from the default setting when they’d first joined our lead generation service?

Here’s how it works:
When we place a homeowners details with a company, at that same time, we also send the homeowner an email (if they provided an email address), with details of how they can login to their own online area and see who we’ve recommended them to.

From this online area, they can leave feedback on their own experience with you, as well as read previous feedback from other homeowners – both the good and the not so.

We send a further email a week later to remind them to leave their invaluable feedback and just last week, we also started a new text reminding service which sends a simple text message to their mobile phone (if they gave us a mobile number), asking them to login and leave their comments.

Of course, there’s nothing to stop you reminding homeowners, when you visit or speak with them, to leave some feedback on how happy they were with your service.

That way, you’ll be able to show future potential customers how good your company really is, with comments from the people that matter most – your customers.

Price Engines takes your best offers and tells 350,000+ homeowners about them, every week (click here to see an example).

No catch – just login to your online Admin Area and update your profile with your latest homeowner offers. With the VAT increase just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to tell potential customers what you’re offering.

As well as Price Engines selecting different offers for each weeks email newsletter, homeowner’s also get to see your offers when they login to their own personal area to see who we’ve placed their details with.

Don’t forget to keep your offers up to date – to help you there’s a ‘diary function’ so you can set offers to delete themselves automatically when they’ve expired.

Price Engines – helping you reach many more people than you ever thought possible.

It’s good practice to regularly change your account password, particularly so if you’ve had recent staff changes or allowed login details to be known to other staff members whilst you’ve been on holiday etc.

It only takes a moment to update.

Firstly, login to your Customer Admin Area and from the navigation options on the left choose ‘Tools’.

Select ‘Change password’ – you’ll be asked to enter your present password and then your new password followed by a repeat of your new password to confirm. Click ‘Submit’ to complete the update.

Remember, your password should be between 6 and 20 characters using A-Z, 0-9. They’re not case sensitive.

When you sign up with Price Engines for our sales lead generation service, you receive a full information pack in the post.

Amongst the information sheets is one which has account settings to allow you to try out our service – from ‘Quoter website visitor right through to the lead being delivered in your personal Customer Admin Area.

You’ll appear as an ordinary ‘Quoter website enquiry when you try it out – our customer advisors won’t know it’s a ‘test’ lead, so you’ll get to hear first hand how we qualify each and every lead.

All you have to do is ‘agree’ to getting your quote confirmed by our network of companies, whilst your on the phone.

Within minutes of the call ending, you’ll see your ’sales lead’ appear in your online delivery area.

It’s that straightforward – your details don’t get passed to anyone else and of course, no charge is made against your account for this test lead.

To find out more about our sales lead generation services to the home improvement industry, sign up now or call our office on 01332 297472.

Once you’ve completed the sign up process (which is completely without obligation), look out for your welcome pack arriving in the post.

Last week, a homeowner left a particular feedback about a Solar Panel Installer. In it, he thought that the company had tried to miss-lead him by referring to the Renewable Heat Incentives scheme – a scheme that he (the homeowner) knew to be cancelled / scrapped.

Just to keep everyone up to date – installers and homeowners alike – here’s the latest (as of 22nd July 2010) on the Renewable Heat Incentives scheme’s future.

Certainly not cancelled yet but as you’ll read, under review as to how best it can be implemented.

They’re still qualified and passed to your delivery area exactly the same as our regular sales leads, based on the products and areas you’ve already selected.

If you’re not live, login to your Customer Admin Area now and switch your account live. The next FREE lead could be on its way to you.
