Free Leads

What's Better Than Warm Sales Leads...
FREE Warm Sales Leads



Free Sales Leads... They're Valuable So Store Them Securely in Your Sales Leads Database.


Promoting free leads & online sales leads is a growing industry for many online businesses chasing more income.

Many of them specifically target inexperienced sales people working in the retail to business sector.

Hmm... is there such as thing?

There is definitely such a thing as paid leads and depending on what you’re selling, this option may be the better one for you.

If you’re selling Ferraris for example, how much would you pay for the name of a person or a company looking to buy one?

$100.00... $500.00... $5,000.00?

You could argue strongly that it’s far better to pay 5 grand for information that will more than likely result in a sale than to offer discounts to casual lookers to entice them to buy.

Discounting has a long lasting effect on your market position... but that’s another story.


Crucial For Your Business.


By definition, a sales lead is the name of a person or business who are actively looking to purchase products and/or services that your company supplies.

They’re a mandatory ingredient for business growth and when they’re free, they’re just that much sweeter.

They assist in keeping a flow of warm prospects to your door.


Referrals.


There are no better free leads than referrals.

And the amount of referrals a sales person receives is directly related to his/her skills in relationship marketing.

A referral is the hottest lead you’ll ever get.

When someone is in the market for a product that you sell and that someone is referred to you by a respected acquaintance of theirs, it’s magic.

When looking to make a purchase, most consumers readily accept the opinion of a trusted friend, and the primary reason for this is simple –

We are lazy.

It’s much easier to ask someone we trust than to research a product and decide which brand to buy.

People buy from people they trust so the more contacts you have, the more referrals you will receive.

Talk-up your customers and constantly remind them that your company is a referral based business and any prospects they can send your way would be appreciated... thankyou very much.


Strategic Alliance.


Forming strategic alliances with businesses that compliment yours but do not compete with it, is another good strategy for creating free leads.

Your alliance partner can sing your praises to his customers & vice versa. You can give him your business cards to hand out plus some promotional material.


Stall Holders & Attendee Lists.


Obtaining lists of companies showcasing their products & services at trade shows that fit your customer profile is a good idea.

The same applies for seminars.

Organising your own stand at a suitable trade show or seminar & collecting business cards from all & sundry is another good option for obtaining free leads.

When it’s all said & done, if your mantra is to aim for a WOW factor with every single sale, referrals & free leads will eventually follow as sure as night follows day.
