Out-of-area referrals
After reading that I'd be put in touch with local pros I was utterly swamped with out-of-town voicemails & even hangups when the call(s) went to VM (Note: I'm unable to answer calls while at work). I'm in SW Indiana. No way will it be cost-effective to hire someone headquartered several states away. I can easily see paying a markup on local talent to whom they provided the lead. No thanks!
