HONK — Meta ads and five days of follow-up for window & door installers

Window, door & home improvement installers · Ireland & UK

13–25 qualified appointments a month. Or we work for free.

You paid good money for those leads and then let them go cold. Everyone does. We build and run the Meta ads, the landing page and the form, then Gary rings every lead inside a minute and keeps ringing for five days until there's an appointment in your diary. Gary is a goose. Gary doesn't give up.

Book a 15-minute call

Bring three months of leads. We'll do the sums live.

From €1,500 a month plus ad spend. Not worth your time if your average job is under €4,000.

  • First ring in 47 seconds
  • Eight goes across five days
  • Twenty qualified appointments or it's free
  • Live in ten to fourteen days
I've rung her three times. And i'll ring her five more.

What you're buying

Not leads. Qualified appointments.

Not a lead list

You're not buying names to ring yourself in the van at six o'clock. Nobody wins that game.

Not a chatbot on your website

Gary rings out. On the phone, out loud, inside the first minute, and again for five days.

Not an ads retainer with a dashboard

We run the ads because we have to own the form to ring the people on it. The thing we're judged on is appointments somebody was home for.

One unit of value: a qualified homeowner, in your diary, who opened the door.

Bad news, then worse news

There's nothing wrong with your leads. There's something wrong with the four hours before you ring them.

Every installer in the country is buying leads off the same three places and blaming the leads. It isn't the leads. It's that Kevin down the road rang her at 11:42 and you rang her at ten past six.

She wasn't loyal to Kevin. She was loyal to whoever picked up the phone while she still cared.

You were up a ladder

It lands at 11:40. You see it at six, in the van, with a chip bag on your lap. By then she's had two other lads out and one of them brought a sample.

You rang once. Twice if she sounded keen.

Nobody rings a lead eight times. Not because it doesn't work — because it's grim, there's a van to unload, and your dinner's going cold on the counter.

Evenings and Sundays go dark

Which is exactly when she sits down with a cup of tea and starts thinking hard about her windows. Your phone's off. Somebody else's isn't.

Then half of them ghost you anyway

Booked Tuesday, forgotten by Thursday. Forty minutes each way to an empty driveway, and you write it off as a bad lead. It wasn't. Nobody reminded her.

An awkward look

Right. Let's get a proper look at your follow-up.

Fair warning: it doesn't get any prettier from this angle. Nothing ever does.

I've seen worse. Not many. But I've seen worse.

Gary

The whole machine

We buy the attention. Gary does the chasing.

Your job is the last two feet: turn up to the appointment and close it. That is the whole list.

01

We run the ads

Your Meta account, your pixel, your data. Creative, targeting and budget driven every week.

02

They land on your form

Homeowner, property, timeline, budget, consent ticked and timestamped. Tyre-kickers stopped at the door.

03

We ring them right back

Then eight goes across five days until there's an appointment in your diary, and a reconfirm the night before.

Meet the staff

This is Gary. Gary is a goose.

Geese are relentless, faintly unhinged, and can't let a thing go to save their lives. We built one that makes phone calls. He doesn't mind the rejection, which is the whole point — attempt six is exactly as cheerful as attempt one.

You don't have to thank me. I'm not really built for feelings. I'll get you the job anyway — it's the only thing I'm for.

Gary

Appointment setter · Has never once been in a van

Trained on your prices, your patch, and the five excuses you're sick of hearing.

Not a script with your company name pasted into it. Gary knows your lead times, what you won't fit, which estates you won't drive to, and exactly what to say to "I'm only getting prices at the minute." He books the appointment. He doesn't quote and he doesn't waffle.

He also tells people he's an automated assistant, every time, right at the start. Partly because it's the law. Mostly because getting caught pretending is a much worse look than just saying it.

How the chasing works

The Gauntlet

Five days. Eight goes. Rotating hours, because the woman who won't answer at two will answer at seven. Nobody quietly slides off the bottom of the list.

Half of what Gary books, he books after the third attempt. That isn't clever. It's just the part of the job nobody has the stomach to do by hand.

Put this on my leads

She's in for Thursday at four. Your Thursday's looking a bit quiet after that, if you want me to keep going.

Gary

00:00

She hits submit. Homeowner, semi-D, wants it sorted before Christmas.

47 seconds

Ring one. Before she's closed the tab. Most bookings happen right here.

12 minutes

No answer, so a text goes out. Your company's name on it, with a booking link.

2 hours

Ring two. Different hour of the day, different odds of catching her.

Day two, morning

Ring three. After the school run, before the day swallows her whole.

Day two, evening

Ring four. Gone six, when she's actually in the house.

Days three to five

Rings five through eight. Then a last-chance text. This is the stretch nobody works, and about a third of your appointments are hiding in it.

Booked

Qualified, dropped into a real gap in your diary, confirmation away.

The night before

The reconfirm. The cheapest thing you'll ever do to a show rate.

What actually gets built

Six things. Every one of them in your name.

01

The ad account, run properly

Creative, copy, targeting, budget, testing. Your account, your pixel, your data. We just drive it.

02

A page that filters

Homeowner or renting. Property type. Timeline. Rough budget. Consent ticked and timestamped. Tyre-kickers stopped at the door.

03

Gary, trained on you

Your areas, your products, your lead times, your objections. Tested on live calls you listen to yourself before he rings a real customer.

04

Straight into the diary

Google or Outlook, live availability, travel time respected. No double bookings, no "I'll check and ring you back."

05

The night-before call

Every appointment reconfirmed the evening before. Cancellations come back as reschedules instead of empty driveways.

06

One page every Monday

Spend, leads, connects, booked, showed, won. Plus every call recorded, so you can hear what your market says when nobody's selling at them.

What a month actually looks like

A month where nothing special happens.

Not a best case. Not a screenshot from a freak week. Just the ads doing their job and Gary doing his, on an ordinary Tuesday in an ordinary town.

Ad spend, straight to Meta off your own card€1,800
Leads through your form100
Gary actually got talking to~60

Appointments booked into the diary18–20
Appointments somebody was actually home for13–14

Illustrative, not a promise. Cost per lead and close rate move with your area, your pricing, and how good you are in somebody's front room. We'll build this exact table with your real numbers on the call, before you've spent a penny.

From the vans

What installers say once he's loose on their leads.

Trustpilot → Integrations → Review Carousel. Paste the widget script and these cards swap for the real ones.

Every review we've ever had is public, and none of them were written by a goose.

Read the reviews

Read this bit before you book

For a lot of people this is a genuinely terrible idea.

Worth a call if

  • You fit windows, doors, conservatories, roofline, solar or retrofit
  • Your average job is €4,000 or better
  • Fifteen extrappointments a month wouldn't put you on your knees
  • Somebody in the business can actually close in a front room
  • You can put €1,500–2,500 a month behind ads and leave it alone for ninety days

Please don't ring us if

  • Your average job is under €2,000 — the sums don't close and we'd both burn a quarter finding out
  • You want leads to flog on rather than jobs to fit
  • You fancy trying it for a month. Month one's leads won't have finished being chased yet
  • You won't let us record the calls. No recordings, no improving it, no deal
  • You've a bought list you want dialled. Gary rings your own form fills or he rings nobody

What it costs

One build fee. One monthly. Nothing going on behind your back.

A setter on the phones is €2,400–3,200 a month. Forty hours. Sleeps. Takes Christmas off. Hands her notice in around March.

Gary works Christmas. Gary has always worked Christmas.

€2,997once, to build the thing
€1,500a month · three-month minimum
  • Ad account, landing page and form built from nothing
  • Gary trained on your business and tested on live calls before he goes near a customer
  • Calendar, CRM and reconfirm sequence wired up
  • Ads rewritten and retested every month, not set and forgotten
  • Ad spend paid by you, direct to Meta. We never touch it and never mark it up
  • Prices in euro. UK clients are invoiced in sterling at the day's rate

The bit you don't believe yet

You've been burned by an agency before. Fair enough. So has everyone.

Twenty qualified appointments in ninety days, or we stop charging and Gary keeps going.

If The Gauntlet hasn't put twenty qualified appointments in your diary inside the first ninety days, the whole thing keeps running — ads, calls, chasing, the lot — at no monthly cost until it does. And if you'd rather walk at that point, you get the build fee back and you keep the ad account, the page, the lead data and every recording.

I'll keep going either way. I'm not in it for the money. I'm not really in it for anything.

Straight answers

Things people ask before they say yes.

Not on the list?

Ask it on the call — it's fifteen minutes and nobody is going to sell at you.

Or ring {{ phone }}.

Book a 15-minute call
Will he sound like a robot?

Some people cop it. Most don't, and it barely dents anything when they do — she filled in a form about her windows ninety seconds ago. She wants the call. Gary opens by saying he's an automated assistant ringing on behalf of your company, which disarms people far more than it puts them off.

You'll hear a dozen test calls before he rings a single real customer. If he isn't good enough, he doesn't go live.

Is this even legal?

Only people who filled in your own form and ticked a box saying, in plain English, that you can ring them including by automated or AI-assisted call. Timestamped and stored, so you can produce it if anyone ever asks.

Every call names the company, honours an opt-out on the spot, and stays inside legal calling hours. We won't dial a bought list, a scraped list, or the spreadsheet in your glovebox. Not for any money.

What happens when he can't answer something?

He doesn't guess and he doesn't bluff. He books the appointment, flags the question for you, or offers a callback from an actual human at a time you've already agreed to. Pricing questions get parked for the appointment, where they belong and where you can actually win them.

Do I have to change my CRM?

No. If you've got one, we push into it. If you haven't, it lands in your calendar and your inbox. Nobody's migrating anything and nobody's learning new software.

How long before he's live?

Ten to fourteen days from the deposit. Ad account and page in week one, Gary trained and tested in week two. You sign off on the test calls yourself before he touches a real lead.

What if we part ways?

You keep the lot. Ad account, pixel and its history, the landing page, the lead data, every recording. We're not holding your audience hostage to stop you leaving. Gary would find that undignified.

Fifteen minutes, no slide deck

Bring your last three months of leads.

We'll work out what you paid a lead, how many you actually rang back, and what The Gauntlet would've done with the ones you didn't. If the sums don't work we'll tell you on the call and you'll have lost a quarter of an hour.

Book the fifteen minutes.

Two minutes of your time. We'll ring to confirm before anything is in a diary.

Would rather not sit through a call? Ring {{ phone }} and ask for the two-minute version.

I'll find the ones you never rang back. There'll be more than you think. Telling you now so it's less awkward on the call.
