The problem
Shared lead sites turn window cleaning into a price race.
Lead fees are charged whether or not the job books, so unbooked leads are pure cost.
The platform owns the relationship, and the customer who found you there will search it again next spring.

Why exclusive leads beat shared ones
Shared lead sites sell one request to several companies. The homeowner gets a handful of calls in minutes, and the contest becomes a price race. For a service that depends on trust, such as having someone in your home and on your ladders, that's a poor basis for choosing.
Outbound mail reverses the situation. You choose the homes, write the offer, and receive the quote request alone. The owner already knows who you are from the card, and the conversation starts with your local crew rather than a bid.
Cost per lead is only part of the picture. A shared lead may cost forty dollars and book one time in four. A mailed card may cost less than a dollar and book one in forty. Compare cost per booked job, not cost per click, and include lifetime value: a customer you won directly is likely to rebook.
Own the relationship. A customer who comes through a platform may return to the platform next spring. A customer who scanned your card is in your own list, ready for reminders and a spring and fall plan.
Keep both channels at first. Many window cleaners keep a lead site while they build their mail program, then reduce it as inbound grows. Spur's dashboard makes the comparison plain.
Respond quickly and track honestly. Exclusive leads are worth little if they wait a day for a call, so answer scans and quote requests within a few hours. Record where every booking came from, including the lead site, so you can compare cost per booked job across channels over a full season rather than a week. Many companies find that a mixed approach works best for a while, and then shift spend gradually as mail brings in a larger share of steady customers.

FAQ
Window cleaning leads without Angi questions
Can I really replace Angi for window cleaning?
Most companies reduce rather than replace at first. Mail gives you exclusive leads you can compare against shared lead cost.
How many quote requests can I expect?
Results vary by market and offer. Test 300 to 500 matching homes and measure cost per booked job.
Are mailed leads better quality?
They're exclusive and start with your local offer, so they tend to be less price-driven than a shared bid.
What if I'm new and have no reviews?
Lead with insurance, what's included, and a clear guarantee, and link your reviews as they come in.
