About a year ago I set out to build a "fake business" online to capture leads in the home construction, renovation, and remodeling industry with the idea of later finding out how to partner with a real business who can take on the work and pay me for the referrals. And for the better part of the last month or so, I've been collecting some great leads. People are calling and emailing my fake business and some of them even claim to have budgets greater than $100,000. This is also a city where the housing industry is pretty crazy (think, San Francisco)
The problem? I'm not making any money and all these leads are going to waste. I've emailed a few dozen businesses about working together, and they pretty much all ghosted me. I've met an acquaintance contractor in person to discuss it, but he's not serious and doesn't answer emails or pick up the phone from these leads! I couldn't believe it - it's like people don't want to get rich anymore.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can go about finding someone to work with? Are there any sites where I can post my plans for other contractors in the area to see? Cold calling isn't my forte and emailing doesn't work at all. People probably figure its a scam of some sort.
