How to invite contractors to the directory!

When you're letting contractors know about Mesa At Your Service, it's important NOT to tell them how great the site is, but what it will DO FOR THEM! (this is the way to talk about everything)

Over time we'll change how we do this as we get more experience, but start with the following...

When someone is interested, follow these steps:

Do these 5 things:

1 - Tell them about the directory. (see below)

2 - Get their info: Company name -- phone number -- email -- year they opened -- owner name -- what makes them special? (they can tell you or DM/email, but if you want them to message you, they may disappear, so it's BEST to have them give you the info)

3 - Tell them we take a couple of days to do research, confirm information, and make a decision, and you will be back in touch soon.

4 - Wait 2-3 days and contact them again, to tell them they were pre-approved. (Congrats, you were accepted!)

5 - Send them to mesaatyourservice.com/apply OR YOU GO TO the form and ask them the questions.

A few days later they will be listed on the home page, and have their OWN inside page that will remain forever.

Here is how to approach them... you can do this by DMs or phone.

-By DM:

Most (add niche) find a lot of the best free leads come from directory referrals. I'm an acct manager from a new contractor directory in Mesa, and we're looking for high-quality service pros to feature on our home page as on of the best (add niche) in the area. Can I submit your company to be considered?

-By Email:

Hi (name),

I'm with Mesa "At Your Service", a high-end directory that was launched in Mesa. A lot of (niche) are frustrated because they don't get many leads from the older, more established directory sites.

Since we're new, the first service pros we add will get the most initial exposure and be put in front of the most consumers in your area who are looking for (niche).

I've looked at your history a little, and feel your company has a good chance at being accepted. Can I submit (company name) to be considered?

Or what questions do you have?

Your Name

Mesa At Your Service

They will ask questions at this point. Answer them simply, and follow the steps from above!
