Anyone into purchasing leads?

4 replies
Hi

I have just purchased my first order of qualified leads. I haven't done this before, but have been a bit neglectful in my business as I don't have the time to commit to generating and following up my own leads.

My plan is to fully automate my business, I already have a membership with a professional sales centre, who will follow up my interested people with a phone call and webinars etc, and closing my sales.

Was wondering what success rates are like for others who have purchased leads? I have started with a small (25) trial order, but they have already been interviewed by phone, and are eager to start their own home business.
Look forward to your stories

    I would purchase leads, if I wanted to lose alot of money.

    I mean, if these leads were top notch and solid why would they be for sale. Ask yourself that.

    If they had a good relationship with this list and were making sales from them, why would they be for sale.

    What if this list, is just a list of a list of a list that has been bought before and spammed to kingdom come. What do you think is going to happen when you send them your spruced up message to them.

    Good luck, You are gunna NEED IT!... sorry to be harsh, but it is what it is.

    P.S. My friend in Canada just spent $600 on so called leads in the FOREX market, 10k leads or something. When he sent out his email blast he did not make one single sale.

    No, I'm not buying a list as such, these leads are generated from a professional leads company, who advertise that they match people with home business opportunities. The people fill in their details on a form, then the company rings them and interviews them, asking qualifying questions, eg when are they ready to start, how much money do they have to invest (if under $300 they do not qualify), time able to commit etc. These are also exclusive, real time leads, so haven't been sold to other businesses. They say their conversion rate is 1 in 11, I would be very happy if it works out that way.

      You have been scammed, sorry to say. 1 in 11 aint gunna happen. I do not want to be the bearer of bad news, just want to tell it to you straight as you are a warrior.

      It seems this is the trend at the moment, and they are nothing more than recycled optins. I know you want to believe you got a good deal, but I am here to tell ya, there is no deal that you just wrote above that exists. I have never seen one, and this is not going to be one of those odd occasions.

      Sucks to see people praying on marketers like this, but they know there is money good money in this.

      I hope you have not been scammed, but like I said...... They are good at telling you all the good points without telling you where or from whom these leads came from originally.

      Just saying. Good luck.
