Ok, had both of my free referrals. Both really good quality, could be a coincidence that free referrals are excellent quality!! Although Quotatis have only passed the lead to another 2 installers the customer had also asked for quotes from other lead generators so I ended up quoting against 6 yes 6 other installers for each job. BUT they were almost all of the shiny suit brigade. I've had the usual stories, 16 panels where 11 will fit, wot chimney, inverter in small v hot loft, panels on N roof, no sir if one panel gets shade the others will work absolutely fine, 50% home use of generated electricity even though no-one is in the house from 10am to 8pm and customers being constantly pestered by phone calls.
So my issue is really more with the shiny suits than the referrals and the quality was good. We are hoping to have one confirmation tomorrow and I'm ringing about the other on Monday when the customer comes back from holiday. Not sure about that one but we were the only ones who measured up!
