Napoleon Hill hits on the Master Mind concept pretty hard in chapter six of Think and Grow Rich. Truth be told, we don't know it all, so if we really want to do something big we do need the help of others. I would seek out (via referral) a small Master Mind team. Get a Realtor, a CPA, a Lender, an Estate Attorney and an insurance person and you're good to go.
Then come up with an educational "Webinar" idea. Work on it weekly together until you have the all the details penned out. You can get an account at www.GoToWebinar.com pretty cheap, especially if your group shares the cost (why not, since you'll be doing these at least once a month right?). Now you market the webinar via email to your databases, each to his own. I would market it at least two or three times before the webinar. These webinars can be set up so that when it's over, an email gets sent automatically to the participants. This email of course would have the contact information for all of the "hosts" of the webinar, allowing the participants to make contact with them for their services.
It's a simple idea, but you need the right team. Remember, Hill tells us if we don't hit the "sweet spot" the first time, don't freak out. Simply go back to the drawing board and keep what worked and re-tool what didn't. Eventually you'll have a lead genertating machine on your hands.
Go for it.

Hi Craig, I am in a MasterMind group of Realtors® and it is a good thing for sure. The concept of the varied/related fields is good too. There's a very good book on creating and maintaining a MasterMind group called "Profit from the Power of Many" by Natalie Brecher. All the best!
