It’s better to create your own leads than buy leads
Hi readers,
I’ve always thought it was better to create your own leads than to buy leads. However I recently found myself trying to win a sales contest in my company and I was a little bit shy of my goal. So I decided I’d buy leads.
My hunch was right. I never should have bought leads in the first place.
I went online and did some research trying to find a decent company.
I purchased some leads that were supposed to be real time. They are also supposed to be telephone verified.
Well several of the people are telling me that they requested information a long time ago. Many others are saying that they are not interested. Several others mentioned that they’ve received LOTS of phone calls.
PLUS the terms and conditions for the company I purchased the leads from say that I cannot get a refund.
So essentially I paid a premium for leads that were supposed to be better than average but they are the same old junk every other company is selling.
What a freaking scam.
I’d have been better off investing that money in classified ads or PPC.
Sorry, I don’t mean to rant. I’m just a bit frustrated that these jerks got my money. I’m so frustrated I don’t even really want to call anyone back.
Be warned. Buy leads at your own risk. Be prepared to waste a lot of time on the phone!
