With leads which is such a intangible product/service ,its quite important to know your customers before you sell any leads to them.I am writing about this ,as i learnt it the hard way and had to suffer.
A client of mine wanted Loan Modification Leads for CA and FL .All he had mentioned in his requrement was that all leads should have :
- 100k or more balance
- 60 days late
I found that good enough and decided to sell leads to him at 12 USD a piece.
What i didnt ask him was :
- His experience in the Loan Mod industry
- His current employer
- And foremost his expectations
He bought 20 leads from me ,and just couldnt convert even one.Moreover he hadnt contacted even 80% of the leads,within 4 days he asked for a full refund.I had to pay him the full amount though i had given him 20 leads.He just gave feedback for 10% leads.
I learnt it the hard way : FOR LOAN MODIFICATION LEADS - Impeccable Replacement Policy and sound knowledge of customer's background is a must.
My client was a ex- car's salesman with no exp in loss mitigation or foreclosures.He had just joined the loanmod bandwagon.
Its always good to learn from experiences but it pains to learn from hatd ones.
