Exclusive Residential Security leads, delivered to your business alone.

An installation campaign should state whether the offer is for purchased equipment, financed equipment, or a system tied to a monitoring agreement. Those arrangements attract different customers. Before launching, explain the installation scope and any recurring charges accurately so a homeowner is not expecting a free system when the actual offer requires a purchase or contract.

The first call should confirm ownership, the number of entry points or camera locations, existing equipment, and the customer’s installation window. Ask whether they want alarms, cameras, or both. Avoid treating someone seeking a password reset or replacement sensor as the same opportunity as a homeowner planning a complete system.

Track installation revenue and monitoring contribution separately. A smaller installation may be attractive when it creates a retained monitoring account, while an equipment-only job depends more heavily on installation margin. Use your actual retention history rather than assuming every new monitoring customer stays for several years.

Service mix changes the economics. The campaign can cover Smart-home security upgrades, Existing-system replacements, Installation with ongoing monitoring, but those categories should only be included if your business performs that work. Decide whether to use a blended campaign or separate service groups. Keep a record of requested service, quoted service, and the work ultimately sold so a low-value category does not quietly dominate the results.

Qualification should make the first conversation more productive. Does the person own the home or have installation authority? Are they requesting installation, monitoring, or repair? Which systems do they want, and when do they want the work? Is the property inside your installation territory? Agree which answers are required, which are informational, and which should exclude an inquiry. A form captures a customer’s stated situation; it does not replace a professional assessment, confirm every project detail, or promise that the person will purchase.

Residential pricing is $95 for 10 leads, $90 for 30, $85 for 70, and $80 for 100. For the worked example on this page, a $90 lead price and 20% close rate produce a $450 acquisition cost per signed customer. At $3,500 job value and 35% gross margin, contribution before lead costs is $1,225. Lead-acquisition break-even is 7.3% close rate. Overhead, taxes, travel, sales commissions, and financing may require a higher real-world return.

Volume should follow your response capacity. A package of 30 inquiries does not mean 30 jobs or an even number of inquiries every day. Agree on delivery expectations and the territory before launch. If your team is busy, discuss pacing early; missed calls and delayed estimates can make an otherwise relevant Residential Security campaign look unproductive.

Measure the entire journey: inquiry received, contact attempted, customer reached, consultation or site visit, estimate, and signed work. Record the reason for a loss instead of marking every unclosed lead as bad. For Residential Security, compare the specific project types above and review acquisition cost against the gross contribution of completed work. Use that evidence when adjusting scope or volume.

Review invalid inquiries using the campaign’s documented terms. Equipment-only shoppers, technical support requests, and properties outside your territory can be excluded when those rules are part of your campaign agreement. Keep evidence of the submitted request, contact attempts, and the reason it falls outside the agreed criteria. The lead policy and client agreement define replacement eligibility and the review period; they do not guarantee that each prospect books or buys. Before committing to a campaign, tell us your locations, the Residential Security services you want, typical project values, team capacity, and preferred follow-up process. We can review service-area availability and campaign fit together. Book a strategy call, send your details, or test your own economics in the calculator.
