How Contractors Can Stop Wasting Time on Bad Leads with mySalesman | F&D Mastery Podcast #77

My Salesman was built by Matt Werner out of Empire Netting and Fence to solve the 'petted the dog, walked the fence line, never sold anything' problem, giving homeowners an instant online budget quote so contractors stop burning hours and fuel on leads that were never in their price range.

The tool is a lead-qualifier, not a lead generator: it lives on the contractor's own website as a 'get an instant online quote' button, and its edge is speed to lead, a rep can call within about 30 seconds while the range and satellite-drawn fence give the homeowner transparent, trust-building pricing.

The homeowner walkthrough takes under a minute: enter contact info first (so drop-offs are still captured), locate the property on satellite/street view, draw the fence, pick a customizable catalog style, and both homeowner and contractor instantly receive a branded budget email.

Pricing ranges are engineered for a psychological edge, the contractor's real number sits at the bottom of the displayed range, so homeowners expect to pay the higher end and are often ready to sign before the on-site visit, which becomes 'date number two' just to verify measurements.

The MySalesman 3.0 rebuild added an open API and webhooks (Zapier, Make, Power Automate) plus Google Analytics/UTM pass-through, so the qualified-lead data can flow into any CRM and every campaign source and drop-off stage can be tracked end to end.

Drop-off reports turn slow periods into opportunity: contractors can call people who started but abandoned the quote, and because each abandonment stage is tracked, marketers can retarget them with stage-appropriate ads (trust/credibility content for near-complete leads).

Pricing is a flat $175/month with unlimited seats, no per-user charge, a free first month, and no contract; the back end supports fully customizable catalogs, per-linear-foot or panel pricing, and rules for short-charge minimums, mobilization radius, and volume discounts.
