The Direct One
Hey man, I've been using this company Slate for my leads and reviews — they handle everything for $297/mo. My leads are up and I'm getting 5-star reviews on autopilot. Check it out: [YOUR LINK]
The Pain Point
You still chasing leads on Thumbtack/Angi? I switched to Slate and I'm getting 15-20 leads/month without paying per lead. Here's a link if you want to see what they do: [YOUR LINK]
The Social Proof
Three guys in my area are using Slate now and all of them are booked out. They do your website, reviews, missed calls, everything. Worth a look: [YOUR LINK]
The Money Angle
Not gonna lie, I also earn $97/month for every contractor I refer to Slate. But I wouldn't send you this if I didn't think it'd help your business. Check it out: [YOUR LINK]
The Short One
This is what I use for leads and reviews. Changed my business: [YOUR LINK]

Post 1 — The Attention Grabber
If you're a contractor still relying on word of mouth alone, you're leaving money on the table. I started using Slate Systems a few months ago and my phone hasn't stopped ringing. They handle leads, reviews, website, everything for $297/mo. DM me for my referral link.
Post 2 — The Real Talk
Real talk — I was skeptical. Got burned by other companies before. But Slate is different. They actually deliver. My Google reviews went from 12 to 40+ and leads are coming in daily. If any contractor friends want to check it out, I've got a link.
Post 3 — The Results Post
Best business decision I made this year: letting Slate handle my online presence. More leads, more reviews, more booked jobs. They've got a contractor referral program too — $97/month for every referral. Ask me about it.

This helped my business — thought of you
Hey,
I wanted to share something that's been working really well for my business.
I signed up with a company called Slate Systems. They handle leads, Google reviews, my website, missed call texts — pretty much everything I used to juggle myself. It's $297/month and I don't have to juggle all that stuff myself anymore.
Since I started, my reviews went way up and I'm getting steady leads without paying per lead like Thumbtack or Angi.
They also have a referral program where I earn $97/month for anyone I send their way — but honestly, I'm sending this because I think it would help you too.
Here's my link if you want to check it out: [YOUR LINK]
No pressure. Just thought you'd want to know.

What to Say In Person
At a job site, trade group, or networking event? Here are simple things to say that open the door.
Start with a question:
"Do you have a system for getting Google reviews?"
Ask about their leads:
"How are you getting leads right now?"
Share what you use:
"I've been using this company that handles everything — website, leads, reviews, follow-up. Want me to send you a link?"
If they seem interested:
"It's $297 a month. No contracts. They set everything up for you. I can text you my link right now."
Keep it casual:
"I'm not selling anything — I just use it and it works. Here, I'll text you the link."
Tip: Don't pitch. Just share what works for you. Contractors trust other contractors. If you're getting results, that's the best pitch there is.
