Thank you!

The best business type to call in that case, would be a data company.

That's right so give me a call

That's pretty funny (and true) right there.

We can append Business Owner Name or you can just buy a fresh batch of Business Loan Triggers with the Business Owner's name.

Give me a text pad with 100 random business phone numbers, and nothing else, and in under 3 hours, I'll have 20 business owners with full name, email, and fax, and I'll know how much at least 5 are looking for in funding.


It's all about the script you use, ....and it is a transferable skill, you don't have to be a rock star to do it. I have non-americans doing it now.

You get 5 leads for every 100 dials you make? That must be one phenomenal script. Are you serious, or just exaggerating? I really would like to know.

5 leads for every 100 dials is not that impressive. 5 docs, sure, good job bud, now close them. "Lead" is a relative term. When you are pitching something you can't deliver to the merchant, you can get 5 owners who are "looking for funding" out of every 6 calls lol.

It is incredibly unlikely that over-seas callers are booking 5 viable leads per 100 dials though. Mine are personally trained, know the market, and still don't come anywhere close to those numbers.

Exactly. Our definition of a "lead" meets all of the following criteria:

1. Prospect is in need of funding in immediate future (< 10 business days )

2. Prospect meets the minimum criteria required for the funding programs we offer.

3. Prospect is reasonable in the amount of funding they are seeking ($300K annual revenues seeking $250K in funding is not classified as a lead).

4. Prospect has a specific need for funding. ("I just want to have some cash on hand", for example, is not a viable lead).

5. Prospect is willing to answer general questions about his business and his plan for the use of funds.

6. Prospect is realistic about the rate and term of funding they are seeking (demanding 3% over five years with quarterly payments, again, not a lead).

7. Overall the needs and wants of the client have to make sense, and there must be a foreseeable, reasonable chance that the prospect will submit an application and entertain an offer.

Without all of these conditions being met, you have nothing but a bunch of hot air and wasted time, and you certainly aren't talking to a 'lead'.

Call business owners that are likely to be standing near the phone /liquor stores/optical stores/auto repair/florists and please be creative to get owner on the phone...when its not the owner be like do you do weddings? oh you do!! is the owner in?

sign-up...when you get files B/C/D hard to fund and want double digit commissions...

We actually phone verify every business in our database up to 4+ times a year. Since we are a data compiler and not a reseller we can target a list based on the last time we called that business and owner contact names only as well as a list of industries that your industry likes to service. However some of the industries you like to service like liquor stores and florists that were mentioned above are more likely to have a manager there and not an owner. But we would still have the owners name for that business.

anybody have a good sample script ? if so email rudyj911gmail.com

[Roiberto]

What type of script are you looking for?

[Roiberto]

The best source for owners name would be salesgenie/yellow pages,Hoovers and Manta and Google maps in my opinion.

What is the cheapest, or is there a free way to get a list of ALL businesses in the US with their name, address, and ideally NAICS code. I would be very happy with their name and address but even if I could only get their names that alone would be very helpful.

[CreditGuy]

Those would be solid leads. I see a TON deals that don't meet 3&4 and it is just time wasted all around.
