/24-7PressRelease.com/ - WALLA WALLA, WASH., April 2, 2005 - The program, QualitySmithRewards, pays a referral fee to companies, organizations, or individuals who post links on their own Web sites to direct customers to QualitySmith.com. Affiliates can also earn a referral fee for directing contractors to QualitySmith's contractor network site, QualitySmithPro.com.
In addition to the referral fee, QualitySmith will offer the first 200 affiliates an extra 10% bonus on their commissions for the first three months of their affiliation.
The company's site, QualitySmithRewards.com, gives details of the program, which is open to all qualified Web sites at no charge.
Qualified sites include home improvement sites, as well as sites aimed at contractors.
"Our affiliates will help more and more people to find out about QualitySmith's services while allowing them as partners to share in the success of this hassle-free, time-saving way to find a good contractor" said CEO Rob Schmidt.
"With many new affiliate partners, a broader range of customers will be able to discover our services in the way that feels best for them," Vice President Rhonda Donnelly agreed.
While some lead-generation companies elevate referral speed over quality, QualitySmith uses a unique hands-on approach to putting customers together with contractors. Their staff spends time talking with both customers and contractors before a match is made. "The relationships we develop lead to better service and higher satisfaction for both customers and contractors," said Rob Schmidt.
Customers agree. "All of your representatives were very kind and informative. I'm glad we found you," commented one customer. Another homeowner thanked QualitySmith for its "thoroughness, and all-encompassing phone calls and e-mails."
Contractors are satisfied as well. "They turn out to be really quality appointments," wrote a roofing contractor in California. "We've never had the closing rate we have with QualitySmith appointments. Ever. It's amazing," said a Michigan contractor.
To apply to the program, interested participants can go to http://www.QualitySmithRewards.com and fill out an on-line form.
Since 2001, QualitySmith has been innovating in the on-line home improvement industry. The company, headquartered in Washington State, matches homeowners and their projects with local prescreened contractors across the nation. Their customer Web sites include QualitySmith.com, RoofSmith.com, CoolingHeatingSmith.com, and SidingSmith.com. Their contractor site is at QualitySmithPro.com.
