sooo Many offline Leads for social marketing (which is NOT my market) how can i sell these leads?
Share on:

Hi Guys,

I am based in the Uk and have many different products and service,

a few of my methods for getting leads attracts a ton of social media leads that are USA based,

Now that's all well and good but one these people want there social media accounts grown and looked after that's something i don't do...

and second there USA based and that really is no good for me, as i like to speak to my clients on the phone and keep in close contact with them

now my question is this, is there any platforms or places to sell these leads?

or any ideas how on what to do with them? they are really hot leads that are pre qualified.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Well first off the "I only want to be able to talk to them on the phone" is just plain silly. This is the year 2014, and business owners are perfectly happy to talk to you on Skype. In fact in our business we insisted on video skype calls instead of telephone calls. It's a lot more personal that way.

Second, I don't know why this is, but people over here still love British accents. In one of my offline businesses, I hired a phone rep who was British who was phenomenal. He could talk the pants off... oh wait this is a business forum. Anyway, I would say you could easily close American business, it's worth trying.

Third- why not partner with someone. There are plenty of companies that will let you white label their work. You could 3 way call with them if you have Skype premium. Or just use Google Hangouts. I would try to find a way to leverage those costs.

Fourth- could you hire someone to do the work for them, even if it's not what you want to do. You could easily hire someone locally on a part-time basis to do the work for you. Typically you could pay them 25% of what you charge the client, and everyone walks away happy.

Just some thoughts.

Thank you so much for the ideas!

the time difference is a big factor with the USA leads and also i do have a lot on my work plate as it is,

i was thinking of sending them to someone that can handle them, then find a way to track there sales or even better get payment by lead... the leads are super qualified.

I hear what your saying about trying to take them on myself just with work load and the time difference not sure i can to be honest but at the same time i don't want to waste the leads....

time difference? its 5 hours. In the USA we deal with 3 hour difference and can deal with up to 6 hour differences. that's a feeble excuse at best.

Dealing with international clients... I am not a fan of Skype. I use the phone A LOT. get an international plan on your cel phone and call it a day.

Now, not having the time to work on these projects... hmmm sounds like it may be time to expand your business and hire in someone?

I'd recommend you try skype again Savidge. As long as your connection is good.

This is the problem, when you're on the phone and you're giving updates to your clients, how much engagement are you really getting?

They are doing other things, while you're on the phone. And you can't control it. BUT, when you do a video conference it makes things so much easier. They schedule that time as uninterrupted time. In fact it was so important to us, we'd pay for a local PC technician to show up 20 mins before the call to setup their Skype and make sure they were ready to go.

The engagement level is MUCH higher with video teleconferencing.

Try it, I think you'll be surprised at what a difference it will make in your update calls with clients.

Thanks for the comments,

feeble excuse? i have other things in my life but work for one, and an excuse.. i don't need to make excuses i just don't want to work every hour god sends...

Yes i have had some trouble with skype calls dropping etc, can be a real pain sometimes

and i agree hiring a bigger time will make the difference and i can still get time to unwind,
however selling the leads or taking a % of a fee for someone else to do the work sounds great to.

thanks for your comments guys, keep them coming.

Save yourself some time and just post a paid ad in the section of the forum for finding partners.

Hi,

are you allowed to sell leads in the forum? if so what section is best,

and to be honest not sure if selling the leads or finding a partner is best option and take a %

i did not know (i can't seem to find any) markets online that you can sell them direct to.

thanks
