A Victorian AC installer was days from laying off staff after a lead generation campaign that promised 20 to 23% and delivered 12%. Here is how Comparison Connect rebuilt his strategy, retrained his sales team, and took him to 58% lead to appointment rate in 30 days.

Most brokers think conversion is about closing. The best know it’s about continuity. Here’s how to map your clients’ financial roadmap, generate repeat business, and get more out of every lead you already have.
