    Default Purchasing leads

    Should I purchase leads from Businessfinance.com? They send me leads to review but I don't know if I should purchase them.

    Never buy leads, you get caught in contracts and things

    Not sure about businessfinance but I would say unless you have 10s of thousands to through at it and stick to it for a while, and have an EXCELLENT phone team take a different path...

    I honestly can't say I've seen any decent mortgage leads for sale for at least a couple years...it's done.

    if you're still not convinced I used to use a company called DMA or DMA leads back in the day or datawarehouse I think....

    In my experience, the only people that make money from lead generators are the lead generators themselves.

    Default Don't waste your time or money

    Buying leads is a waste of money and you'll waste hours of precious time chasing really bad leads.

    I learned the hard way.

    Generating your own leads is the best way to go.

    I agree, I don't think they would be much good purchasing a lead and what is to say that a dozen other companies have got the same lead through the same company that you would have bought it from.

    I don't think it is a very trustworthy way of making a sale, who would sell a hot lead that could be worth a good few thousand dollars / euros for a lower price ?

    I was with you guys, untill I found my lead generation company. They will build out a website for your market, give you a top producer type account, pay for your ppc and seo. and then when you close the sale, you kick up a referral fee. If you dont make money, they don't either. Not a bad gig.
    Follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up untill they BUY or DIE!!
