has anyone had any dealings with service magic keep getting e mails asking me to buy leads cos i slipped up and made a genral enquiry because the advert looked good and i had no work on at the time not sure how many they sell the lead to or if its even worth bothering because the custmers might just play the plumbers off on prices so you end up paying to do a job for next to nothing think i have just answered my own question but just on the off chance it works has anyone got any better ideas
don't join. you pay a lot for lead and 5 tradesmen can get customers details, not like rated people who gives 3, so similar carp. i had a call from service magic asking for some deposit etc.
Out of curiosity, just after I joined GSR (not in search yet) I had a call from some guy calling on behalf of some charity asking me to join their magazine with promising of advertising etc. So to me it seems like somebody in GSR is selling details.

Dear Sir/ Madam
I have been asked to speak to Companies in the area with a view to implementing someone suitable to look after a number of tenanted properties on behalf of our clients. These are located in and around the N postal code area. This is in relevance to the ongoing gas works and subsequent maintenance requirements over the next 24 months.
For the last 2 or 3 weeks I have been in contact with a number of engineers and we are slowly compiling our shortlist of interested parties. If the below Contract sounds like something that could benefit your company and/or you would like some further information, then please do not hesitate to get back in touch. All the information is detailed below, if you could read through it carefully and get in touch that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Drew Lewis

By stopping the commission structure and implementing the Contractors Fee at the start of the contract, we have now established that the commitment levels between ourselves and our Contractors have drastically improved resulting in better workmanship and a better all round services being offered to our clients.

Look up the first one on gas safe webesite.............. only 1 engineer on there! but according to the testimonial
Testimonials
I***************e Ltd, Manchester (L** *****l): Gas Safe: 5*****
I have been working with NUS Ltd since August 2011 and our working relationship has grown from strength to strength. My Company offers a full General Maintenance package ranging from basic plumbing right through to full electrical installs and I have been receiving all types of work from this contract from day one.
When I started with NUS, I only had 10 Engineers employed directly but over the past few months with the workload I have been provided from this contract, I now employ 27 Engineers from various sectors to cover the work from NUS and my own personal contracts and to date it has been a great business decision to accept the contract offer from NUS.
The initial fee that I had to pay when awarded the contract was made back and more within the first month of taking on the contract and I have never looked back from the day I was awarded the contract.
I would recommend NUS Ltd to any other Company that is looking for a consistent level of work and the opportunity to grow their Business.

thanks for the advice about service magic thought as much but you have confirmed my doubts and yes i had a similar call from a magazine shortly after joining gas safe but was then as now skint so couldnt do it anyway advertised in my local paper but their was 27 other plumbers advertising the same week so that was a waste of time and money the most success i have had was having two thousand flyers printed at a cost of 45 quid and going door to door posting them myself hard work but it paid off got a good few jobs from it and the people i worked for passed on my number to friends and neighbour s and things slowly got going but still have more days with no work than i would like but i am sure that is true for most of us not sure if it was gas safe who passed on my details to the magazine though because anyone can look on the internet to check if people are really gas safe registered and as advertisers are struggling just like the rest of us they could have got our details that was cheers and good luck
I am well jealous, you were offered a better deal than me..:laugh3:

The N Postal Code area contract is completely free to apply for and there is absolutely no fee required in order to find out more information or to be considered for the contract.
but the went on to say;
The Contractors Fee for the N postal code area is a one off fee of £1823+VAT.
So its "free" to apply but costs £1823 + VAT is your given the contract. How many people do you think they turn down? lol

I've had the same email for IM postcode. My fee would be £1813+VAT. That is cheaper than for the N postcode which proves it's a scam because everything is alot dearer on the Isle of Man than in England.
