Predictions ring true as Leads2trade
report strong lead volumes
Directors at Leads2Trade, the company
behind the Compare Companies and
Trusted Local Suppliers network of
consumer facing sites, say that leads
volumes are significantly up compared to
the same period last year.
Leads2Trade generates ‘double-qualified’
home improvement leads via its online
network of Trusted Local Supplier sites.
Director Andy Royle (pictured) says the
company has built on a record start to the year
which saw it sell 657 double qualified leads to
its members, on its first day back.

For quarter one and quarter two of 2014,
Leads2trade has seen lead volumes increase by
15 per cent, with members closing more sales
as a result.

Andy says most leads have been for PVC-U
double glazing, conservatories, solar panels
and boiler replacement.
He comments: “This presents installers with
a golden opportunity to win new business and
through our service they can easily do this.”
Increasing lead volumes have also been
influenced by the company’s acquisition of
home improvement arm of the consumer
facing lead generation network Compare
Companies, which saw Leads2trade become
one of the UK’s biggest providers of double
qualified leads.
