Lead Buyers' Perspective
Those that generate leads often take enormous financial risks, shouldering the cost of media for no guarantee of profitability. The same, though, holds true of the lead buyers, who upon receipt of a lead must work to turn a prospect into a customer with no guarantee of profitability on their end either. This dual risk makes this type of customer acquisition unique, and for it to continue, everyone involved must be on the same page. In this session, hear the stories of those on the front lines of lead buying.
