Why Buying Leads is a Bad idea – Part 2

Alright, so we were talking about why it's a bad idea to buy leads...

To recap:
- It's a big waste of time and money
- I didn't enjoy the process...
buying-leads

Now, I know some will say that it has built their business

And I know - It CAN ... but it's not EFFECTIVE.

See, you could probably stand on the street trying
to get new partners and customers. Could it work?

Yes.

Is it an effective way to go?

No.

But here is a more fundamental reason why it's a bad
idea.

You're starting off with the wrong mindset. You are
chasing the person down.

Do you think a top producer in a company would
be spending time with unqualified people? NO.

Without us knowing it, this is what the person on the
other side of the phone is thinking.

BUT GET THIS.

People are asking themselves 2 things when thinking
of joining you in business.

1) Will this help me with what I need or want?
2) Are YOU the person I want to work with?

If you don't satisfy both of those questions...
you will continue chasing people for many years
to come.

So the reason why it's a bad idea to buy leads,
is simply because we are approaching people in a
place of need. That DOES NOT equate to Leadership.

So there you have it.

To chase or to be chased.
The hunter, or hunted.

Buy leads – A Bad idea Part 1

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.

buy lead
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,
Taigh
