Zintex Remodeling Group
Zintex partners with EverConnect to focus on quality over volume & sees 3X increase in lead to sale rate.
Background: About Zintex Remodeling Group
When Zintex Remodeling Group, a family-owned business, got started in 2001, they offered a variety of home improvement products. However, in the past 6-7 years, they transitioned to specializing solely in bathroom remodeling.
Zintex’s Vice President of Marketing, Eric Peschke has played a pivotal role in shaping their marketing and lead generation approach. When he joined the company in March of 2021, he quickly identified a key area of improvement: lead generation.
The Problem: Need a Higher Volume of Leads to Drive Business Growth
Upon joining Zintex, Peschke identified a primary challenge and subsequent opportunity: The need for more high-quality leads to fuel their expanding operations. The company's existing lead generation sources were not sufficient to meet their growing demands, which was crucial given their high close rate and effective sales team.
“One of the best things that a marketing person can have is a sales team that can close,” Peschke explained. But the only way to have that is to also have enough lead sources and appointments to run.
The Solution: EverConnect Focus on Quality Leads
Recognizing the need for a proven and scalable solution, Peschke sought out EverConnect due to their strong industry reputation and successful track record with similar companies. He aimed to test various lead generation sources, leveraging the EverConnect Marketplace solution to improve lead quality and quantity.
Eric made a pivotal decision to adjust the payout share rate from 14% to 16%, which aimed to strike a balance between cost and lead quality. The larger rate's goal was to increase the rate of high-quality leads and enhance campaign performance.
“When you get to a point where you see something’s working and you’ve got the secret sauce, then it's a matter of being able to scale it,” Peschke noted.
Results and Metrics
Since adopting EverConnect’s solutions, Zintex Remodeling Group has seen impressive results:
- Expansion: Zintex has increased its market presence from 4 markets to over 24 markets across 7 states.
- Revenue Impact: EverConnect’s lead generation programs have produced approximately $700,000 in net revenue from January through July 2024, contributing toward significant improvements in lead quality. This translates to a total of about $97,000 in invoiced totals on the EverConnect side, $14,000 average monthly throughout 2024.
- Improved Metrics: The finance decline rate dropped from 32% in April to under 20% in July, reflecting a positive shift in lead quality and overall conversion rates. After adjusting the payout percentage from 14 to 16%, Zintex saw an increase in Lead-to-Sale conversion from 1 to 3%. A 3% Lead-to-Conversion rate is the industry average.
Peschke attributes some of Zintex’s success with EverConnect to quality collaboration with their account management team. “Everybody on the team is great when it comes to communication,” Peschke says.
Future Goals and Expectations
Looking ahead, Zintex aims to continue its growth trajectory. “Our goal has always been to become a 100-plus million-dollar bathroom remodeling company,” Peschke revealed. The company is on track to potentially achieve $70-75 million in revenue this year, driven by effective lead generation and a dedicated team.
When asked about recommending EverConnect, Peschke did not hesitate: “Oh, yeah, absolutely.” He highlighted the importance of working with established lead generation companies, stating, Er He also advised potential partners to commit to a trial period: “You have to spend the money and you have to give them at least 2 to 3 months to be able to see what it’s truly capable of.”
