Pro tip: Don't pay for a 'done for you' lead gen service without checking their list first

Honestly, I dropped $2,500 on one of those services that promised 20 qualified sales calls a month. Tbh, the leads were awful, mostly people who had no budget or weren't even looking for an agency. I lost that money and wasted two months of my sales guy's time chasing ghosts. Has anyone found a legit way to buy leads that doesn't feel like a total scam?

Ask for a small sample list first.

Totally get that, it's like a life rule now. I ask for a tiny sample of the soup before I get a whole bowl, or I'll listen to a 30 second clip before I buy a whole song. People try to sell you the whole thing upfront, but a little test run saves so much time and money. I even do it with big stuff, like watching a few minutes of a movie trailer to see if I'll like it.
