I have worked in the financial market for years. Lead generation is one of the most important aspects of the business, if not THE most important. I have worked for a lead company with a pretigious name, and they were great. At about 5% average close ratio, commission base advisors make between 20 and 50K, for a $400 investment. The time invested is more than the money, but 400 to 50,000. Come on, no brainer. I switched to selling products instead of leads, and I use the same leads I used t sell. Buy leads, and buy as many as yu can work.

who is the best lead generation company?

What a great question - wish there were some great responses! As an agent, I'm trying to deceide whether to put some of next year's budget into buying leads. There is some powerful marketing out there that makes it sound sooo very attractive. One of my first internet leads resulted in a listing and sale. The customer seeking info was local. The minute I got the lead I jumped into my car and knocked on his door. I know the agressiveness I showed made him a client. Others often fall into the "one of many" responders with about the 1 in 40 or 50 conversion rate. My web page is a "bread on the water" type that provides lots of information without registration - with the hope users will remember me as an agent when they're ready. Nice thought, but bad idea. When I revise my web page for next year it will have lots of built-in registration to capture leads. But buying leads, or buying page hits, is still an open question for me. The numbers needed for good results are large and the cost for quality is high. Any comments fron fellow techno-agents would be a great help.
