I'm surprised that the author made zero effort to find out more from the people who are using lead gen sites to generate trade jobs - the locksmiths who are doing the actual hoodwinking. It seems that they are a critical part of the problem, i.e. if they were honest and quality tradespeople, then the fact that a lead gen site connected them to consumers really wouldn't be much of a problem at all.
- tptacek 15y agoNo, because the lead-gen -> piece-work business model disincentivizes the people who actually do the work from being honest, and almost completely shields them from the downside risk of trying to rip people off.
