I kid you not - I've wasted a crazy amount of money and
more importantly Time buying leads.
Here's why I think it's a terrible idea to buy leads.
But first let me tell you why I started to purchase
leads.
It was about a year ago March 2008 where I had been
building my business full time for over 6 months.
I lived in a new town, and didn't know too many people
so I figured out new ways to get connected in the local
community (remind me and I'll write more on that experience).
Anyways, I had hit the bottom of my names list ONE LAST
TIME.
Now, I know that experts say that the average person
knows 300 people - but after being in the business for
about 3 years at that time - I had Approached ALL 300
of my people... hahah.. and more.
So, I thought the next logical step was to try and buy
leads.
A lead is a person who has expressed an interest in
a Home Bassed Business by filling out a form.
So, that's what I did.
I would buy them in the hundreds and call EVERY ONE
of them. Even more then once.
Here's what I was faced with;
- It was extremely hard to get a hold of people
- They were not very qualified
- I was spoken to as a Telemarketer...
You know, this just wasn't what I had signed up for.
I wanted to have fun, and enjoy the freedom that this
business can offer...
It finally hit me... and I stopped buying leads...
And will never do it again.
There's a more fundamental reason why it's a bad idea
to buy leads..
Don't want thisl to go over time... so stay tuned
for tomorrow's email and I'll explain more.
Cheers to Success,
