Hi gang. Time for my occasional reminder. I am not pointing fingers at
anyone, just glad to have been reminded it was time for the
reminder.<br><br>

Hi there. Some time ago, the Wrenches reached consensus to not have leads
on this list<br><br>
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, <br><br>
2. Send them a piece of email giving them reference to find someone else,
like
<a href="http://www.nabcep.org/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.nabcep.org</a> or
<a href="http://www.homepower.com/resources/directory/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.homepower.com/resources/directory/<br><br>
</a>3. It is OK to post leads on the other list, RE-Markets. <br><br>
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: <br><br>
"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.
<a href="http://www.i2p.org">www.i2p.org</a> is a professional
organization of people that specialize in RE sales and installation. If
you do not find something suitable there, try
<a href="http://www.homepower.com/inbiz.htm">
www.homepower.com/inbiz.htm</a> which is a larger, more loosely gathered
database of companies." <br><br>
"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." <br><br>
But whatever you do with leads, do not do it on the RE-Wrenches
list.<br>
