Does anyone here run a successful lead generation business?

Ive seen people make 7 figures without trying hard on one campaign. Find someone who needs the leads. Sell those leads to them. Make sure the quality of leads is always good. Not too tough.

Yes, a large portion of my business is lead generation. I currently have a few business models in place, pay per call, leasing, commission based, 2-tier per call/per sale as well as I provide value add services to help businesses increase their conversions on the leads that I send them. So things like help with creating them sales/call scripts, tracking analytics for them, working on sales funnels, etc.

The amount you can make is entirely up to you since it can be scaled in many different ways. For me, it comes out to about mid to high 5 figures a month at the moment for that portion of my business.

In many ways it is very similar to providing those services, you are just doing it on your own properties...but at the same time it is vastly different since the ONLY result that is useful is getting leads to customers. So it does not matter about being #1 in Google, having the best on page seo or getting 1000 hits a day. If you are not generating leads all that stuff is useless. So you have to think a bit differently in terms of scaling. If you are doing pay per call, then the ONLY thing you are looking to do is find methods to generate more calls. So SEO lead gen sites, video marketing, PPC, social, classifieds, even offline marketing like handing out flyers or putting up ads at grocery stores, etc. Where can you get leads and how can you squeeze more leads out of that source.

So there is ALOT of testing, a/b splitting, failing, etc etc to squeeze every little bit out of a lead source. That is if you want to get the most out of this business model.

Yes you need phone tracking system if that is what you are going to do...do not need phone tracking if you just do leasing.

In terms of getting clients, there are two main methods. Build some successful lead gen campaigns that are generating leads in a niche, then contact businesses in that niche to sell them the leads as a service. OR you can just start calling up businesses and sell them the service first, then build out the lead gen campaigns to send them the leads. No I am not going to tell you where, who or how to get in touch with these businesses, that is simple sales/marketing for your own business.

If you want to start on the cheap, start with video marketing and lead gen. Create videos in a few niche that have some search volume, rank them in Google. You can add the tracking number to the video first or afterwards but twilio sells numbers at $1 a month.

If you want to actually start a business, then you want between $1000-$10,000 to start depending on how serious you are about this and how large a business you want to build.

The one thing that many people do not realize is that Lead Gen is no different than any other type of Internet Marketing. It is not easy, it takes time and effort to succeed....

I create Lead Generation Sales Funnels and teach the client how to drive web traffic. Way too much work to sell leads IMO.....

The beauty of the Lead Generation industry is that there truly are tons of possibilities. There are dozens of lead verticals that are already well and thriving or you can carve out your own niche and generate demand for your specific service. HomeAdvisor is a great example, but what they do is by no means the standard that you NEED to build your business around.

Do you want to sell calls? How about web leads? How about both? You can charge on a per-lead basis or sell subscriptions for your service. Many lead gen companies even buy leads from people who can't find someone to service the lead's needs and sell those themselves. You can jump into as many verticals as you want or try to specialize in just one. The choices are yours. It just depends which direction you want to go.

Great topic, i am about to start a lead gen business. Have a lot of questions

In the lead generation business you have need to send the mail or any other ad with your e-mail or any other tool . If they intract with you via phone or e-mail . Then you have need to peach out your product. this is the best time to generate the interest in your customer minds .

SO ANYONE OFFER REAL LEADS FROM HNW LOOKNIG TO INVEST?

Can you outsource/arbitrage lead gen?

This all sounds good and this is something I want to get into. Is there a training source where a newbie can wrap their head around putting all this together?
