Running ads is the easy part. Anyone can put a metal building photo on Facebook, boost it, and get people asking, “How much for a 30x40?” But getting qualified buyers to actually answer the phone, trust you, get quoted, and sign a job is a completely different game. That’s where most companies burn cash. They’re spending money on Facebook. They’re getting leads. But the leads are tire-kickers, spam, dead phone numbers, or people shopping 10 different companies for the cheapest price. The issue usually isn’t the ads. It’s the system behind the ads. Here’s how we fix that. Step 1: Attract the right buyer Most metal building companies skip this part. They run generic ads for “metal buildings” and then wonder why the wrong people keep filling out forms. But not every metal building company needs the same buyer. A manufacturer shipping pre-engineered kits across multiple states is running a completely different business than a turnkey barndominium builder working in a 50-mile radius doing million-dollar homes from foundation to finish. Those two companies should not be running the same marketing. If you’re a kit manufacturer or distributor and your message is sloppy, you’ll get homeowners calling you asking if you can build the whole thing turnkey. That wastes your phone team’s time on jobs you don’t even do. On the other side, if you sell larger red iron garages, shops, or turnkey barndominiums, but your message is too generic, you’ll get flooded with people asking about RV covers and cheap carports. Now you’re doing face-to-face consultations for a $4,000 carport when you really want six-figure building projects. So the first step is getting clear on who you actually want to attract. A manufacturer can lead with: “Buy direct from the manufacturer and skip the dealer markup.” A dealer can lead with: “We work with multiple manufacturers to get you the best value.” Or: “We’re an authorized dealer of a reputable brand, so you get their quality at the best price.”

We just added a brand-new section to the course showing you exactly how to use GoHighLevel and why it is so important for turning more leads into signed jobs. Inside the new section, we cover: - Why using a CRM helps you make more money - How to get logged in on your computer and phone - How to navigate the desktop software - How to use the LeadConnector mobile app - How to call and text leads - How to take notes and book appointments - How to manage leads through your sales pipeline - How to make sure notifications are turned on so leads do not get missed The goal is to help you respond faster, stay organized, follow up consistently, and make sure your leads do not slip through the cracks. Even if your leads are exclusive, speed still matters. The homeowner can still contact other contractors, search Google, or ask for referrals. We work with clients doing over $30M/yr. When we studied what separates our top performers from everyone else, we found that every single one of them uses a CRM. How to access the course: 1. Open the Quote Magnet Skool community. 2.

We just had a check-in call with Ryan from Everglades Development Group in South Florida. Ryan has been a custom home builder for years and, by his own words, said “I don’t want to just wait and see who comes in the door. I want to choose my customers.” That is exactly why he wanted to move into the barndominium and metal building space. After launching his campaign, here’s what happened in roughly the first 10 days: ✅ 75–80 leads generated ✅ High-end barndominium buyers in his backyard ✅ Leads coming in while we were literally on the call ✅ One prospect in Naples wants 7 barndominiums ✅ Estimated value: $800k–$1.2M each ✅ The prospect specifically asked for something like what he saw in the ad Ryan said, “Everything’s as advertised. We’re getting quite a few leads.” And my favorite line: “It’s somewhat like drinking from a fire hose right now.” Ryan already had the experience. He already had the licensing. He already had the ability to build. What he needed was predictable opportunity. Now he’s using this momentum to shift from traditional custom homes into barndominiums, red iron buildings, and turnkey metal building projects. This is exactly what we’re seeing across the country: The metal building and barndominium market is moving fast. The contractors who already know how to manage site work, slabs, erection, interiors, and full project coordination are in a powerful position — but only if buyers actually know they exist. Massive shoutout to @Ryan Edmonds and the Everglades Development Group team!

One of our clients Luke from LR Mobile Welding & Contracting just messaged us after a phone call with a homeowner: “$300,000 per building was the quote given over the phone and he wants 13+…” That is a potential $3,900,000+ opportunity from one lead conversation. Most contractors don’t need more random names, tire-kickers, or shared leads. They need serious homeowners who are ready to talk about real projects. That’s exactly what we focus on at Quote Magnet: - Exclusive leads - Serious homeowners - High-ticket project opportunities - No shared lead nonsense Proud of the team and excited to see this one move forward!
