[RE-wrenches] Leads on Wrench List

[Michael Welch]

Hi gang, just a reminder. If you have any questions, please respond off-list.

Some time ago, the Wrenches reached consensus to not have leads on this list

1. If you get a lead you cannot handle, then either send it directly to someone you think will be interested (but not the list) or,

2. Send them a piece of email giving them references to find someone else, like www.nabcep.org web site and www.homepower.com/contractors

3. Check the Wrench List bio page to see if any of us are nearby the proposed site, www.members.re-wrenches.org

4. It is OK to post leads on the other list, RE-Markets, if you are a member.

Here's some suggested wording for responses to email inquiries (leads), the person first receiving the contact could send the potential client a piece of email that says:

"Thanks for your interest in XXX Solar. Unfortunately, we do not do work in your geographical location. Here are some resources for you to find a reputable installing dealer near you. www.nabcep.org is a professional of certified RE installers. If you do not find something suitable there, try www.homepower.com/contractors which is a more loosely gathered database of companies.

If neither of those resources have what you are looking for, please email me again at the above address, and I will help you find someone to work with on your project."

But whatever you do with leads, do **not** do it on the RE-Wrenches list.
