Matchmaking for Contractors Earned Him $27K in 1 Month

Aaron Fooks gets paid by local contractors to introduce them to businesses that can pass them work 👀

Think a painter picking up jobs from a custom home builder, or a siding company from a roofer.

💡 He got the idea working reception at a small Denver siding company, which got hundreds of leads a year from a much bigger one.

His first client paid $150 for every appointment he set.

The breakthrough was finding the job first, as he explains…

We pulled a huge list of all the roofers in our area and we sent a text to every single one of them asking if they needed a specialized service like an insurance bid on siding…

Then we use that as proof to text siding companies… We have a roofer that needs an insurance bid now. As soon as they reply yes, we call them.

One text campaign for a painting client turned up four bids worth $17K–$64K within 48 hours 🤯

Turns out contractors are far more likely to reply when you’re offering work instead of asking for it.

Aaron now charges around $6,000 for 10 appointments, plus $250–$500 a month to manage those relationships.

He says that took him to about $27K in September, up from $14K in June 🤑

Costs run $500–$600 a month, plus commission for one helper on the phones.

Pick two trades in your town that feed each other work, text the Google Maps list on one side for a live job, and sell the introduction to the other.
