What happens in this episode
Marcus drives an hour for a job that was never in his area. DIAL puts the cities and the radius on the page so the wrong leads stop arriving.
- Marcus takes a booking without checking the address.
- He drives, and keeps driving, well past anywhere he actually works.
- The job pays the same as one ten minutes from his house, minus an hour of fuel each way.
- DIAL asks where on his website it says which towns he covers. It does not say anywhere.
- Naming the cities and the radius turns the page into a filter instead of a net.

DIAL’s tip
Name your cities and your radius on the page. A lead you have to turn down costs you more than one you never got.
Copy and paste this:
I cover [City] and [City] within twenty-five miles of [zip]. You are at [address], which is in range. Want Saturday at 9am?
