I think your average numbers look pretty good. It is so hard to ask around on this topic and get good information. You show me most any top producer and I will show you 1 person who may make up a large portion of their business (ex. builder relationships, investors, etc...).

I feel Company reputation & past buyers should have most weightage, as customers have already used your products and only if they like it they will buy it again and it is the good reputation of the company that will sell the product in the market. Your past customers are the best sourse

Networking and good relationships are key!
