Lead Generation
Buying leads vs. building your own: vendor breakdowns, follow-up cadence, and the math behind a workable cost per sale.
Every agent hits the same fork: buy leads from a vendor, or build a source you own. These guides work both sides — what telemarketed transfers and shared vendor data really cost once contact rate is priced in, and what replaces the dial list when you stop cold calling. The line-specific math lives in the Final Expense, Medicare & ACA, and Property & Casualty hubs, where the same cost-per-sale question is answered for one market at a time.
