Design Quote Leads Policy

2008-04-24T13:33:00.000-07:00

DesignQuote was designed by a web design company with over 12 years in business. We determine the validity of a lead (whether or not its bogus) based on the same criteria we use from a customer that contacs us directly.

When we deal with a client we often meet or speak with them and the create a ballpark proposal, sometimes we never hear form them again. This is usually because they picked a different firm and do not want to have to tell us the bad news, so they just avoid it. Other times we will spend hours creating proposals only to have the client come back and say they lost the funding, or something else came up and they have to put the project on hold. This is a normal part of business, and it doesn not mean that those clients were bogus clients.

DesignQuote is different from most sites in that we allow you to pick and choose the leads you want instead of forcing you to take every lead. We have guidelines that determine if a lead is bogus, and if a lead is found to be bogus you will receive your credits back.

Designquote sells sales leads. Leads are NOT guaranteed jobs, they are sales leads and you are competing with other designers and dealing with "potential" clients who may or may not end up purchasing services.

We contact the client multiple times and verify their email and phone number and ensure they are actually looking for a designer.

How validity is decided:

A lead is NOT Bogus if:
The client picks another provider outside of DesignQuote.
Reason: The lead is valid, the client was looking to hire a designer, all designers had an opportunity to contact the client and make the sale.

The client decided to put the project on hold, or decided they could no longer do the project for whatever reason.
Reason: Sometimes customers change their mind or have internal problems that prevent them from doing the project. They may contact you later if they decide to start the project again. Keep in contact with them and you may still get the contract.

The client received your bid or had some correspondence with you, then never contacted you again and chose another designer.
Reason: The client is usually talking to several other designers, during these contacts the client may pick a winner for the project and not notify you directly.

A lead is MAY BE Bogus if:

The client never responded to any contact you made with them. Reason: Sometimes customers change their mind or have internal problems that prevent them from doing the project. They may contact you later if they decide to start the project again. Keep in contact with them and you may still get the contract. If you suspect that the lead is bogus create a bogus report on your leads page.

A lead IS Bogus if:

The client never responded to any designers and does not close their project. Action: DesignQuote customer support will investigate the lead and try to contact the client and get the results of the project, if the client does not respond after several attempts the lead will be marked as bogus and all designers will get their credits back. If you suspect that the lead is bogus create a bogus report on your leads page.
