Aside from the fact that SM is a bunch of ***XX *** *** ******X *** *** ******X ***XX ***XX *** ******X ********* ***XX ***XX, you have to consider the type of people who are drawn to their site to begin with. They are generally tire kickers, price shoppers, and dreamers who think nothing of wasting your time or money.

I must set the record straight though because not all people who request service via sm are this way. From my experience with SM I did obtain (1) client who has turned out to be one of my very best. Very excellent people and always a pleasure to deal with. That was it though, the only one.

I let her know after her hesitations that keep in mind in the future that we are charged for their calls, or request whether we do the work or not. Tallahassee plumbers, how hard is that to put in the search engine?

Isn't service magic tied in with the rescue rooter franchise or is that service master??? I don't recall, but I do know that one of them was affiliated with the Big Box Shop. http://www.1800waterdamage.com/ is a company here in the NW that is always a good lead to send out, they don't charge the plumber anything.
