For the past year and a half I have been working DM leads. I don't have anything set in stone for lead orders. Over the past two years I have spent around $7,000 per year on leads of my own money. I get lead credits through SNL for 50%. So backing into it I work $14,000 per year in leads. I would guess I average 2 to 2.5% return per thousand. So I would guess I average 10 leads per week? Strictly a guess.
I could use some help in setting up a more organized ordering system. When I get low I order more leads, but it takes three weeks or more for them to start coming in. So I end up spending too much time chasing old leads instead of working fresh leads which seem to have a much better return. Fresh is best!!!
Like this week as an example. I have been working the same tired, called to death leads for a month. I left Wed morning with 9 appointments. Got stood up 4 times, which is common when you have to work hard just to get an appt. I did write 6 for $500 a month in premium. Then after driving 2 hours to get home, I was taking a nap on my couch at 2:45pm today, Thursday.
I guess I will always be just an "ole bust out car man tryin to get by"!
