Approved index leads

Featured Replies

Hi All

 

I have a lady who keeps calling me from approved index about qualified leads.

 

Basically the leads for projects £200-500 are £15.00 each

Leads for projects £500-2,000 are £24.00 each

 

Does any one have any experience with them?

 

And any success?

 

I don't really need leads right now but I am trying to think ahead and she keeps calling.

I wouldn't bother. I had them contact me in the past, I would rather pay a salesperson to cold call companies for me and pay them commission on sales rather than blow £15 on "qualified leads" which actually are about as cold as ice.

They keep ringing me too!

 

I did a bit of research and came to the conclusion it probably wasn't worth it.

 

Most people that had used the service, (admittedly they weren't web designers) had

said that most leads they'd received weren't that interested and none of the leads

amounted to anything.

I briefly used AI - the leads go out to quite a few companies in a large area, you would have to be quick off the mark calling them and most weren't what i would call hot leads.

 

We have had far far better success in local networking groups. Bearing in mind we moved 100 miles to this area and then immediately started the business idiots that we are!! We now have a phenomenal number of contacts and a good steady flow of work.

Hi there i was with approved index and there lead qualification process is non existant. A lot of the clients didnt want a professional designer or were not serious. There software is designed to keep putting leads through even when you pause it to me its a legal scam so not happy with the service its misleading.



My advice would be to work with a dedicated sales team who can get the leads, qualify them and even close them in certain cases.



You can plan and get leads for your business yourself. Join chambers of commerce, network at events, speak to local biz owners, get a mailing list from thompson and cold call there are so many ways first study marketing online or get a book believe me it worked for me a carefully put together plan just keep going and once people know your business they will call you!
