New Job for Dad

Well, I finally got a new job this week. I am now working for Leads by Fone based in Snellville. Their website is leadsbyfone.com. My title is VP of Sales but I am pretty much the only sales guy in the office. We do plan to grow by the end of the year so I will be hiring more sales people and will have more to do. All of my work is on the phone so I get to work out of the house with Jack at my feet. I have to keep my finger close to the mute button when we have someone visit the house and Jack starts barking but so far, it has not been a problem. The work we do is generate leads for companies who service water damage restoration. We do this by creating a website that gets to the top of a Google search so that someone who has a water problem in their house will call them. The customer only pays when there is a qualified lead. The way we know that is we record and listen to every call and determine if it is a lead or just a junk call. Right now, we have about 180 customers and hope to get around 500 around the country by the end of the year. As we go forward, we will add more vertical markets. The next vertical we will be adding is back pain so we will be calling all the chiropractors in the country which will keep us busy for a while. We look for markets where there is an immediate need and the revenue generated for the customer is substantial.

I am excited to be with a young company like this and have the opportunity to help them grow and establish a solid base of business. It should be fun. We will see.
