RGI(fixed cost) leads question

[jasperjohns]

Does it usually require a down payment with your upline (IMO/FMO) to start up a fixed cost lead campaign (with RGI) or does one simply sign a credit/debit card authorization form and off you go with weekly billing and leads?

You can pay for the program with a credit card. You simply tell your FMO how many leads you want to purchase a week. He will begin mailing pieces and in about 4 weeks you will start receiving leads. If you want 20 leads and they cost $30 then you will have $2400 invested before the first lead arrives.

RGI is just the mail house. Each agency runs it however they want. Some charge a deposit up front. Others don’t. Some even give the leads away for free.

Thanks again Newby

I thought there was no such thing as a free lead?

There are free leads. They are the most expensive kind.

As Newby mentioned, it is completely up to the IMO how they do things. That said, most IMOs are going to want to be paid as they pay the vendor (RGI or whomever) for the leads.

Most have gotten burned enough to know better than ordering leads where they haven't collected from the agent.

Correct that RGI will not work with an individual agent - right?

That is correct.

Thanks VolAgent. I would expect to have to pay weekly but was ultimately trying to determine if a upfront deposit on top of the weekly cost was typical. Seems that it may not be.
