We'll for starters, funding 2 deals out of 32 leads, isn't really horrible. That said, the average deal size is what killed it. I think it's fair to assume that if each of those deals were for 25k, you'd probably be pretty happy.
My company offers live inbound callers from the radio. Each inbound caller is exclusive and comes to you in real time. We convert higher than direct mail, and much much higher than press 1's.
Regardless of the avenue you choose to try next, it's wise to realize that you will ultimately have to sort through some riff raff to get a good application that you can fund.
The two main questions you have to ask your self when evaluating a lead source are as follows. 1. Did I make my money back, and keep a decent cost per acquisition? 2. Can I scale this lead source to higher volumes to bring in more income?
If the answer after a test is yes to both of these questions, you'll find your self a winner.

Scott -- thanks for replying. I'm getting a lot of replies from lead sellers. Please don't mind me saying this but the only ones who consistently got rich during the gold rush were the people sold prospectors the shovels. I respect your opinion of course but need to scale down my expectations.
First, 2 out of 32 deals isn't scalable. Even at $25,000 average deal size, with a 5% commission the ROM is just over 2.5X. We took in 7 apps but converted only 2 of them. That's also a problem.
Is this standard for the industry as a whole? In order to create a $20K- $30K sustainable monthly GROSS income, I have to put in $10-$15K of marketing? Build in a sales force, cost of processors, and overhead, and I'm not seeing how a broker is coming out with more than 10% net profit or breaking even converting just 6.2%.
This can't be right. And frankly I know the data is aged only 3 weeks. Does anyone out there have any data on what the total conversion on these leads looks like after 30/60/90 days? Perhaps have a live xfer system such as Scott's with combined with a broadcast on all dead leads and n/a's during off peak times??
Is there a formula that's working well for some of you?Last edited by aak723; 04-02-2014 at 12:23 PM.
