$187,500 in 5 weeks — and Conor fully booked for the year.
New to remodeling. No pipeline. Had turned us down once. We sent him $187,500 in jobs anyway — 28 exclusive appointments in the first 30 days, booked out January through December.
He turned us down, chose someone else, and still came back.
Conor had been burned by every company he tried. He even passed on us once to go with another provider. That company failed him too. When he came back — we made sure it was worth it.
No experience. 2,600+ licensed competitors. Some operating since the 1960s.
Conor was young and new to the bathroom remodel space in Cincinnati — a city where some remodeling companies have been operating since as early as the 1960s. With over 2,600 licensed contractors competing for the same homeowners, and no referral base to lean on, he had almost no chance in the market on his own. No consistent pipeline. No predictable revenue. Just feast-or-famine with no way to control it.
He did what most contractors do — tried figuring out his own campaigns, invested time he didn't have, and got nowhere.
2,600+ licensed contractors in the same market — some around since the 1960s. Our database put the right homeowners in front of Conor alone.
He said no to us. Then came back anyway.
We reached out to Conor early on. He was interested — but decided to go with a different provider instead. That company made the same promises every agency makes. And like every agency before them, they didn't deliver a single closed job.
Months later, Conor came back. No pipeline, no revenue, same problem. This time we got to work.
Conor tried multiple companies before us. What did they all have in common?
Every company sold the same homeowner's information to multiple contractors at once. So the homeowner gets called by 5 people in 10 minutes — stops picking up — and the contractor wonders why no one answers. The job request wasn't bad. The model was. SmartClips sends each request to one contractor only. When Conor calls, he's the only one calling.
28 exclusive appointments. One month. Zero shared.
Within the first 30 days of going live, our database had sent Conor 28 exclusive appointments for full bathroom remodels — all in his Cincinnati zone, all opted in to speak with him specifically. Not shared with any other contractor. Not recycled. New homeowners with real projects and real budgets.
At $39 per job request, that's a cost structure no referral model or shared platform can come close to.
$35k, $48k, $60k — projects that actually move the needle.
The job requests we sent weren't small ticket. Heidi came in at $60,000. Bob closed at $48,000. Beth at $30,000. The average job value across closed projects landed at $35,500 — the kind of project that lets you build a real business, not just stay busy.
Those 44+ booked exclusive appointments were enough to fill his entire calendar for the year — with zero prior experience in the remodel space, in a city where most of his 2,600 competitors have been operating since as early as the 1960s. Eight jobs confirmed closed, $187,500 in tracked revenue, and a pipeline still full.
151,742 homeowners reached → 113 job requests → 44+ booked appointments → $187,500 closed. More still active in the pipeline.
Conor was new to remodeling with no referral base. What actually gave him an edge over 2,600 licensed competitors?
Experience and reputation matter — but they don't matter when no one knows you exist. Our database connected Conor directly with homeowners who had already opted in to speak with a remodeler in Cincinnati. He wasn't competing for their attention. He was the only call they were expecting. That's what made him competitive on day one — before he'd built a single review or referral network.
Fully booked. January through December.
By the end of five weeks, Conor had done what most remodelers spend years trying to do: fill their calendar for the entire year. Not just a few months out — the whole year. Projects ranging from $35,000 bathrooms to $60,000+ full remodels, all coming in through one consistent system.
44 consultations were still active when this was written. The documented number will keep climbing.
Real homeowners. Real bathrooms. Real revenue.
44+ exclusive booked appointments. Zero prior experience. Most of those 2,600 competitors have been in business since the 1960s — Conor just outpaced all of them.
One homeowner request from our database. One call. One $60,000 project — the kind that doesn't come from referrals or cold outreach. It comes from a system that puts you in front of the right people.
$48,000 in the very first month of going live. Before Conor had a single review from a SmartClips job. That's what exclusivity does — homeowners are already expecting your call.
