why don't you just do your own telemarketing. I don't understand why would someone buy tele marketing leads. Are telemarketers smarter than the salesperson who has the products? Do telemarketers sound nicer on the phone? Are telemarketers more savvy? What do they know that you don't?

Sincerely,
I Just Don't Get it.

I've hired telemarketers in the past as part of my marketing plan. I use a three-pronged approach; one active and two passive. My passives are hiring telemaketers, mailers and ad campaigns and internet leads. I do two of those at any time. My active is cold calling/walking....I figure if I talk to one person from my active campaign then I am actually talking to three.

Just my .02 cents...

hope you have better luck than I did. they were suppose to give me 30 leads in 1-2 weeks.... still waiting. its been about a month and so far they have only sent me about 25. they were suppose to be 640 and greater scores. the 1st five leads, the borrowers were interested in talking to an lo, problem was all the borrowers were in the low 500 scores. I called Ian and told him the problem. He said he would credit me back and look into the list. ever since then, every lead I get, we can never reach the borrower. I did manage to call a recent lead which looked good on paper but after talking to the borrower, he told me that he told the tm he had an sba loan at 2% and was not interested in a refi but the tm told him we would call him the next day. I didn't even bother calling Ian to verify or ask for a credit. Oh well, $1,750. down the drain. Hope you didn't bet the farm on these leads.
P.S. I'd be shocked if you actually start getting leads when they say you will. My ramp up time was 2weeks. Keep us updated.

I've had some success with leads, but haven't gotten rich on them by any means. Every time I've bought a batch of 30 or so, I've been able to close at least one or two.

I've bought from several different companies. I try to keep it 20-30 bucks a lead. If you can find good ones for less more power. I felt like the cheaper 10-15 buck leads weren't worth the paper they were printed on.

I have had good luck with $15 leads. These are straight internet. I work for myself and keep 100% so I only need 3 loans amount to survive.

Let me know about the ABC TM leads. Always looking.
