Tips For Success

Follow these suggestions for success using HireAFishingGuide.com.

First Come First Served.

Our leads are only awarded to the first fishing guide or charter that purchases the angler's contact information.  Act quickly if you want the lead.  All leads can be purchased through our web site at any time using a credit card or with pre-purchased credits.

Read Carefully.

Each lead alert has important information to help you decide if you want to purchase the lead.  Take note of the requested trip date, trip length, number of people, desired species, location, and comments that the angler provides.

Contact Anglers Promptly.

Our automated website will let you view the angler's contact information immediately after purchase.  Contact the angler as soon as possible.

Explain Your Service.

Tell the angler about your business, what you offer, and explain all the costs involved.  If you have a web site or references mention them when you contact the angler.  We e-mail the angler your profile so they may already know about you, or contact you directly.

Patience.

Anglers may need to digest and discuss their options with others in their party before booking the fishing trip.  Give them time to make a decision and follow up again with an e-mail after a couple of days.  No worries!  HireAFishingGuide.com will credit your user account if they decide not to book with you for any reason.

Professionalism.

Arrive on time with well maintained fishing, boating, and safety equipment.  (The clients are always on time!  Right?)
