Hello, To all my permit expediters and all other contractors, how do you all go about finding leads for projects? 

The success of your cold call (or any marketing) campaign depends on  the quality  of  data (leads)  that you are using.

Given all your data on historic pricing, average length of stay, and pricing at the 25th percentile, please let us know if you're able to push up the VRBO chain to speak to a Supervisor (or equivalent) and have them verify the data that supports your position.I can share that calling the VRBO support line: 877-202-4291, identifying yourself & property ID, and requesting a Supervisor politely and repeatedly, can lead to different outcomes.

its very robust for those looking for land and other things other than vanilla leads..

Place all the cold leads on a 1 - 3 month follow up and follow up with the hot leads weekly until they sign. 

Quote from @Francisco Milan: These really do not do much these days for people finding most of the listing online; however, you need to be sure that you put one out because any lead is a lead to put in your database to market to. 

Some people I spoke with think it's their attempt to push their skip tracing  packages on you, but I cannot confirm this.Also, the text to lead percentage is .5, on average.

They will likely want you to do all the traditional lead gen steps: cold call, open houses, door knock, etc.

I think the companies are gonna start to crackdown on this pretty soon, all of the vendors require you to certify that you're not using the platform for cold calling.2) It works best for inbound leads, inbound calls and calling old leads to rekindle them.

My company currently manages 15 properties, with 20+ leads in the pipeline, and we’re expecting to double our portfolio this year.
