Why are people ragging so bad on India/Philippines call centers? I bet their live transfers are like $8... Hell, you can make a joke about outsourcing it a part of your pitch.

"Yeah Bob, we have to hire those Indian guys since the minimum wage is about to jump to the moon *chuckle*. You know how i
it goes with this economy. Anyways, tell me about the money you're looking for, what's your plan for the capital?"

I bet you the CPA is astounding if you had the right team in place to take those transfers (even if the conversion metrics aren't too great)

Right on Zach. But everybody isn't a salesman, and God knows a good one with the quick wit and personality to turn that around is hard to find. I think a lot of ISO's think that buying leads means you get layup deals delivered to your doorstep. A lead is just that, a lead in to have an intelligent conversation, an "at bat" if you will (pardon the baseball analogy). If you can't swing and don't have the fundamentals to hit the ball, your "at bat" is worthless. You're out.
