Can you answer Scott C’s question about Leads?:

We have about 7,000 leads in our contact management system. These are people who have contacted us about our business opportunity but didn’t convert to a sale. We would like to follow-up with these people to determine if there’s any interest. Do you have any recommendations on how to do this?

Live Call Transfer Leads

Can you answer Jason’s question about Leads?:

I live in Wisconsin and have a job that pays commission only and requires us to drive all over the entire state in our own vehicle to run sales appointments and the company does not reimburse us for any travel expenses- mileage etc comes out of our own pockets.

The quality of the sales leads has not been very good, so over half of our office is making less than 30k per year and during the winter months I often have to spend 100 bucks a week in gas to make a 2 week paycheck of only 4 or 5 hundred bucks.

I know I need to quit and find a better job, but haven’t been able to find anything right now (I’m only 6 months away from finishing a bachelors degree). It really seems like I can’t afford to stay and I can’t afford to keep working here…

Many business owners buy a business mailing list as a means of increasing their company’s exposure to greater sales leads and business opportunities. Indeed, a business mailing list has the ability to draw business owners together, allowing opportunities such as referrals, outsourcing as well as joint venture activities to develop. However, before you buy a business mailing list, it is important for you to understand certain key considerations in order for you to get the most out of the business mailing list which you are going to purchase.

First of all, it is extremely important for you to enlist the services of a reputable mailing list broker. With the popularization of the internet, a large number of online list broker companies have been emerging with each day. What you would need to look for however, is the experience the list broker has in the direct marketing industry. Make sure that the list broker which you are engaging has a track record as a professional marketer and consultant who is able to tailor its services to suit the needs of your marketing campaign. Testimonials would be your best friend in this case, and it is important to search for recommendations for a reliable list broker over various business forums found on the internet.

Many business mailing lists are sold as a one time usage product. As such, the owner of the list continues to have rights to the list which you have purchased. Given this, it would not be a good idea to use a one-time list more than once as you would be infringing copyright and trade secret laws. Most business mailing lists have a couple of “decoy” addresses that serve to catch people who misuse the list (for example, if the list is used multiple times instead of just once). Also, many list brokers hire companies that specialize in tracking any misuse of mailings. Thus, it is important to familiarize yourself with the licensing agreements of business mailing lists before you buy them.

Last of all, it is important for you to buy a mailing list just prior to usage. As information products, most mailing lists are constantly updated and change on a regular basis of about 30 days. While certain establishments are relatively fixed in terms of their contact details, others may show frequent changes in information such as mailing address and telephone numbers. This in turn would render the business mailing list to be outdated relatively quickly should you choose to put off using the mailing list after purchase. So don’t wait to use a mailing list that you have purchased - you wouldn’t want to waste money by letting the information on the list become outdated! Use the list as soon as you purchase it.

Mentioned above are some of the key considerations one would have to bear in mind before making use of a business mailing list. While business mailing lists allow the opening of numerous opportunities as well as the ability to generate many potential sales leads, such considerations must be kept in mind in order to ensure the maximum effectiveness in its usage.
