How does the Lead Referral Service work?
Buyers submit search requests by answering customized questions based on the product or service they wish to purchase. SarasotaFloridaUSA.com proprietary matching system identifies the agents and suppliers that are the best match for the buyer's specifications. As soon as the buyer submits his request two things happen. Our system quickly presorts the agents and suppliers that have requested leads in the buyer's area of interest. These agents are then notified via e-mail or text-messaging that they now have fresh leads to review and consider. The agent will log on to SarasotaFloridaUSA.com to review the details of the lead and determine whether or not they would like to purchase this lead. After deciding that this lead is something that they would like to purchase they click accept on the lead and immediately the contact information to the buyer is populated on the screen so that they can begin the sales process.

It is important to note that there is no cost to the agent or the customer to participate in this process. The agent can review as many leads as they want and they will only be billed for leads that they accept.

As soon as the agent accepts the lead an e-mail is sent directly to the buyer informing them of the agents identity, company information, complete contact information and rating information, and that the agent will be contacting them soon.

How many leads will I receive each month?

When will I be billed for the leads I receive?

A monthly statement will be sent listing every lead you have received and your current account status.
