[Project Starter]

I don't think many people would give away free leads. I recommend to try Manta.com, yellowpages.com, or download free leads from ReferenceUSA (you just need a library card).

Plus, if you start off by cold-calling, you will develop your sales skills faster, which is immensely important as you scale (simply put, you will need to teach people how to sell the product).

I have been cold calling and my success has been limited. I have come to a conclusion that cold calling a cold list is not effective and the cycle takes too long to create and convert to sale, thus making the process not profitable. The reason for my thread was that maybe there is an ISO or lender who is willing to provide leads and in return we can run hour business through them exclusively and pay for leads as well.
