About This Resource & Our Mission

This resource hub was created by Justin Hess, founder of Real Time Lead Gen, with a single, clear mission: to provide restoration business owners with the transparent, no-fluff, actionable strategies they need to grow their companies. After spending years in the lead generation industry, it became painfully obvious that most marketing advice for contractors was either generic, ineffective, or intentionally opaque.

Our "Give Away the Playbook" Philosophy

We operate on a simple but powerful premise: give away all the best information for free. The playbooks and guides on this site are the real deal—they are the foundational principles and advanced systems we use to help our clients dominate their local markets. We believe that by providing our best strategies upfront, we can build trust and empower the entire industry. An educated client is the best partner, and as you can see on the Real Time Lead Gen mission page, our goal is to show you what truly effective marketing looks like before ever asking for a dollar.

A Focus on What Truly Works

The restoration business is too demanding for owners to waste time and money on marketing tactics that don't deliver a clear ROI. Our content is laser-focused on the 20% of activities that generate 80% of the results. You won't find articles about the "Top 10 TikTok dances for contractors" here. You will find deep dives on:

• Generating high-intent, exclusive leads from homeowners in a crisis.
• Building a powerful local brand that allows you to compete on value, not just price.
• Creating systematic referral engines that provide a predictable pipeline of high-margin jobs.
• The step-by-step process of starting a new restoration business from the ground up.

Our goal is to be the most valuable, non-monetized resource for restoration entrepreneurs online. If this content helps you grow your business, then we have succeeded in our mission. If you reach a point where you'd rather have an expert team implement these systems for you, we invite you to learn more about our services.
