IFA's/Brokers - Lead generation companies, who to use?or not

[topfuelgb]

Hi Guys,

Daftish question, but does anyone use/recommend any lead generation companies?
Ive used paa years ago, and leadbay before they went under but not for a while.
All the prices now are kinda high, ie £40-£50 for a lead which, even with an instant call almost never converts to much.
Ive found a couple of qualified lead generation companies including http://www.ileads.co.uk/ with basic qualified leads for £25....
Sounds like a deal but ive tried to get hold of all the people who recommend them on their site and low and behold, cant get hold of anyone!
Any help would be much appreciated as to say things are quieter than a nuns meditation class would be an understatement at the moment!
Many thanks in advance

What sort of leads are you buying?

[topfuelgb]

Mostly mortgage/remortgage.
Just want to make sure i spend the money right and not on 'sorry i didnt realise anyone was going to call me' enquiries.
Im regulated just for mortgage and life

From experience they are all much of a muchness. A £50 is no different to a £20 lead.

If your gonna buy leads then you just have to play the numbers game and plough through the timewasters. It hurts at first when you realise you've spent £200-£300 on 4-6 leads that have come to nothing, but that next lead could be the one!

Leadbay have a decent returns policy if you can't get hold of the lead, which no other company does as far as I know.

The leads are sold to multiple companies so no benefit in using them as the same lead will have been sold to about 60 companies. Even if they hotkey the lead through to you they then ring them back and transfer to another company to get paid for the same lead again.

Something like Dianomi may work for you.
