Customer Story • Contractor

How a 4-person contractor added roughly $133,000 in revenue by making sure every lead got answered.

$133K in added revenue.
4 people.
Zero unattended leads.

Fleming Exterior was already generating demand through its website, search visibility, advertising, referrals and paid lead sources. The problem was what happened after the inquiry arrived. LeadRilo brought every opportunity into one operating system, protected missed calls, automated follow-up and gave the team visibility from first contact through booked work.

Before LeadRilo

The leads were coming in. Devin couldn't always stop working to answer them.

Devin often works directly on jobs. Before LeadRilo, paid and organic inquiries could arrive while he was in the middle of the work that pays the bills — and response depended entirely on someone noticing in time.

  • Working a remodel
  • Meeting a customer
  • Managing a crew
  • Handling another project

Current result

Instant automated first-response capability — LeadRilo can respond immediately when configured to do so, so an inquiry never sits unseen.

Every source in one place

Facebook. Google. Website. Angi. Calls. One place to run the opportunity.

Today Fleming Exterior uses LeadRilo to centralize opportunities from every channel. The team no longer needs to remember where a lead came from — LeadRilo gives the business visibility into the origin and status of every opportunity.

Attribution

Devin thought it was word of mouth. The data told a fuller story.

Before the combined Tech Turtle + LeadRilo system, new business was often assumed to be word of mouth. In reality, Tech Turtle's website and search visibility were contributing substantially to demand — and LeadRilo made the true source easy to see.

Before

“Probably word of mouth.”

After — actual tracked sources

  • Google
  • Website
  • Facebook
  • Angi
  • Phone
  • Referral

Real source tracking — visibility into where opportunities actually come from.

The system

Demand is only valuable if somebody handles it.

Three parts, each doing what it does best. LeadRilo did not replace Fleming Exterior's reputation, craftsmanship or sales ability — it made sure those advantages were never wasted because somebody missed an inquiry.

The lead that changed the process

One missed opportunity was enough.

Before LeadRilo, Fleming Exterior lost a meaningful local-business opportunity in Montgomery simply because too much time passed. We'd love to say LeadRilo arrived in time and rescued the deal — it didn't. That missed opportunity became the reason the process had to change.

    Google · Website · Facebook · Angi · Phone

  2. Captured

    Every source lands in one place

  3. Source identified

    No more guessing where it came from

  4. Response initiated

    Revenue attributed back to the source

Since implementing LeadRilo, Fleming Exterior hasn't had the same problem again.

Every inquiry now has somewhere to go and a system for making sure it keeps moving — from first contact through booked work and attributed revenue. Fleming Exterior has since closed its first two larger local-business opportunities after adopting LeadRilo.

  • Tracking
  • Automation

Missed call recovery

A missed call doesn't have to become a missed job.

When Devin or the crew can't answer, LeadRilo helps make sure the opportunity doesn't simply disappear. Fleming Exterior recovers an average of 6–8 missed calls per month through LeadRilo-supported immediate follow-up.

Not every recovered call converts — but every one gets a chance it wouldn't have had before.

Follow-up & booking

Follow-up that keeps moving.

LeadRilo has supported follow-up with 517+ leads for Fleming Exterior — and counting.

These figures are reported independently. They may reflect different timeframes or lead cohorts, so they should not be multiplied together to derive a total job count.

Team adoption

Built for the whole crew, not just the owner.

All four people at Fleming Exterior — Devin and his three team members — can access LeadRilo. The system works continuously so the team doesn't have to live inside it.

  • Checks LeadRilo about twice a day
  • Receives email updates
  • Can add and upload relevant details
  • Keeps lead information together
  • Can see what needs attention

Lead assignment

LeadRilo removes “who was supposed to call them?” from the workflow. Opportunities move to the right team member, so the next step is always clear.

The team checks in about twice a day — the system handles the continuity in between.

A different problem

What happens when the pipeline starts working too well?

Fleming Exterior has currently paused active Tech Turtle marketing while navigating a strong influx of work — evaluating hiring, capacity and prioritizing higher-value jobs.

With strong demand already present, the conversation has shifted from “Where do we find work?” toward “Which work should we take?”

The results

Nine months. One operating system. Real numbers.

LeadRilo doesn't need to generate another hundred leads to create value. Sometimes the highest-value opportunity is answering the leads the business already paid to get.
