CalFinder.com Rude, Condescending, and Insultive sales staff Oakland, California

Calfinder would like to make it clear that this complaint that has been filed is from someone that has never done business with our company or paid us a single nickle. Unfotunately they have chosen to attack our good and reputable name.

While we are sorry that they didn't enjoy their conversation with a member of our sales staff we have thousands of happy contractors that continue to grow their businesses as a result of their partnership with our company.

Here are a few of the companies that we have worked with for many years and continue to provide excellent service to.

 

Moondance Painting Steve Stiles Background Steve started with us three years ago as a new business. He had no employees, no marketing and zero revenue. He started using CalFinder and had booked $100,000 within 2 months. Last year he did over $600,000 in revenue and over 90% of his business came from leads purchased from calfinder.com. He continues to use calfinder.com and generate over 10 estimates per week and $500,000 worth of revenue each year. Testimonial To whom it may concern: CalFinder has been an invaluable tool for my company. I know that my job would be incredibly more difficult had I not had CalFinder with me. This is a wonderful service that I could not do without. They provide high-quality leads for my business which allows me to focus on a few good leads a week instead of the countless hours a week that I would have to spend on marketing for myself; and because of this I can now focus more on my customers, and on providing the best possible product. Thanks, Steve Stiles Owner

 

Perfection Construction Taylor Phan Background Taylor was our third client ever. At that point he was incredibly frustrated with his experience with other lead companies like ServiceMagic and marketing methods that werent producing results for his company. He started using Calfinder.com and within a month he had booked a $50,000 job! In his first year Taylor generated over $400,000 worth of business form his relationship with CalFinder.com and only spent $18,000 in leads. Testimonial To Whom It May Concern, I am very pleased with your service! It is a great alternative to advertisement in the Classifieds fee Market, SF Chronicle, Marin Journals or other lead generation services (ServiceMagic)! I love the solid leads you have given us and the personal touch of getting more or less leads per week is phenomenal. Finally, our company bottom line has increased greatly since we went with CalFinder! All in all, your service outdoes any other advertisement or lead generation services I have ever used. Sincerely, Taylor Phan/Perfection Construction

 

 Tam Construction Roger Huntress Background Roger from Tam Construction was our second client. At the point that we started working with him he was earning roughly $100,000 in revenue and working on every job site. He was chained to his jobs and couldnt grow his company because he didnt have enough quality leads. He came to work with CalFinder and initially struggled, not booking a single job in the first 20 leads that he received. The day after he called into complain and threaten to cancel his service he booked a $60,000 jobThe next week he booked a $75,000 job. That first year he went on to book $250,000! In his second year he was running three crews and produced over $500,000, 90% of which was provided by Calfinder.com. Testimonial To Whom It May Concern: Since our partnership with CalFinder, we have increased our revenue. Jason, Gabriel, Colin and the entire crew at CalFinder are a delight to work with. We at Tam Construction highly recommend CalFinder to augment the source of new and potentially profitable clients to every trade and sub trade, be it a large or upstart company.

 Blue and Blue Construction Greg Blue Background Greg and his father Ken were our fourth client. They had moved from Los Angeles and had done 40 bids for clients and had no worked booked. They were desperate for work and had no idea of where to find it. They started working with CalFinder and took every lead that they could get their hands on, from a fence repair to a leaky faucet. They had no employees and worked out of the back of their pick-up truck. 6 months later they had booked $250,000 worth of work from Calfinder.com, had hired a crew and were looking for office space. A year later they had an office in Marin County, had 8 full time employees and were doing over 1 million dollars in annual revenue. Testimonial We have been working with Cal-finder for about 2 years now. Prior to that, our company was struggling for work and leads. We had no employees and were running the business out of an office in the back of my house. Within 4 months of working with Cal-finder, our profits had tripled and we began hiring a crew to do the work for us. Cal-finder is the best thing that ever happened to our company. We now have a shop in San Rafael, 6 employees, and are able to manage the business side of our company without exhausting ourselves by trying to do the labor and marketing as well. And the proof is in the numbers. Our company is less than three years old. A company that young can spend up to 50% of their income on marketing, trying to get off of the ground. We spend about 10%. Our only lead problem is how to cover them all. We stay busy right through winter, and Cal-Finder is the reason. They are responsible for generating about 90% of our work. I couldnt be happier with them. If you want good leads, sign up. Sincerely, Greg Blue Co-Owner Blue & Blue Const. Inc

It is agreed, my company is not compatible, nor will we in any way conduct business with businesses that are rude, insulting, or condescending to the clients that support their existence.  That is neither wise, nor sustainable business practice.  This is not a rant of frustrastion, but an effort to warn those contemplating working with such a business of their apparent sales and service support practices.

We are sorry to hear that you were upset. Please understand that we do our best
to accommodate all of our clients and business partners specific needs.
Unfortunately we did not feel that our companies were compatible and choose not
to conduct business together. Again, we apologize if this has in some way caused
you frustration or pain.

I worked with this company for 3 days. After seeing the slimeball sales techniques they teach their employees and being asked to blatantly lie to prospective contractors, I left.

If your a contractor looking for leads I would use a well known company with thousands of customers like ServiceMagic
