150-200 Leads A Day- Is This Good

Hello Everyone


I was told something very interesting today.

Dont really know how to take it but i took it as motivational criticism.

I have been building my lists pretty heavily. At least i thought i was.

I have been busting buns using 6-8 different traffic methods pointing to different landing pages and a few blogs.

For the last 3 months or so i have been averaging from 150-200 leads a day.

So i was in a webinar tonight and i was told that 150-200 leads a day isnt jack for someone who has been online this long.

I was really just flabbergasted because i thought that 150-200 leads was a good amount of leads considering alot of marketers are struggling with getting a few leads a day.

Am i wrong?

Should i be pulling in more leads?

My lists are pretty responsive and i thought that was the important part.

So this guy is telling me he has been online for a year and he has a system that pulls in over 1000 leads a day.

So none the less i didnt buy this awesome product that pulls in all these leads.

I didn't buy it for the obvious reasons.

1. Never heard of this guy
2. Couldn't find anything substantial about the product.
3. Wants $197 a month.
4. There wasn't much proof to his claims except what he told everyone in the webinar
5. Downgraded my intelligence and know how.
6. Didn't explain his method very well.
7. Need i go on

So in conclusion my last question is.

Is this possible that a guy that i never heard of and doesnt have any status online pull in 1000 leads a day using 1 simple technique?

Whats your opinion?

Thanks
Craig

  • Well he was trying to sell you something so obviously you need to take that into account. I'm not sure that the sheer number of leads matters so much as what you do with them.

    • Thanks Rich for the reply. I definitely agree with that.
    • The fact that you have never heard of him shouldn't really matter. There are many people online making a killing who just quietly go about their business.
      There a probably people you've never heard of who would consider his 1000 leads a day to be pocket change.
      So it boils down to whether he can show you some proof of his claims and whether you're willing to risk $197 to find out if it will work or not.

  • Hi Craig,

    A lot are all conceivable one and its contrary in the life. But, don't worry and don't allow yourself to deter. As I'm able to see from your story you are thinking with common wit.

    You know, there is a proverb at us: 'A man came from afar says what he wants'. IMHO, he wants to sell his own product (what is normal). But, the essence is that he did not convince you about the quality of his product, according to me. Your consideration aspects are proper, therefore your 'not to buy' decison is OK.

    If I were you, I wouldn't waste more time on him. Move on your road and meantime master your present lead generation systems.

    It's my 0,02.

    Have a nice weekend,

    Sandor

  • Craig,

    Are you making good money from your 150 leads a day (I hope you are)? Are you continuing to build new squeeze pages or whatever you did to get to 150 leads per day? If so, then why do you need some whiz bang snake oil that will only distract you from what is already working?

    You heard the pitch and didn't feel like he sold you. Sooooo faggedaboutit.

    Cheers,
    E

    • It has definitely reaped its rewards. Some of my lists need to be monetized better but im working on that. Thanks for the advice.

      My conversion rate is pretty good on a few of my lists. Some even over 10% but some not so good. Thanks for the reply
    • Like the old saying goes, "you only buy from people you like", whether consciously or subconsciously. Therefore, insulting you is unlikely to result in a sale, no matter how 'super duper' this person claimed their product to be.

  • Hi Craig,

    To actually answer your question, 150-200 Leads A Day - is that good?

    The answer's Yes... if you're happy.

    There will always be someone doing more than you or further along the road than you. On the same note there are definately always people worse off.

    What matters is that you're happy with that amount of leads and the progress you're making.

    If you think it's good, then it's good.

    • Thanks Matt. I will definitely keep my happiness in mind but i would be happier if i can pull those 1000 leads a day

  • Craig,

    Have you heard the expression: "One man's ceiling is another man's floor."? Well, I just started building my list this week and would love to know how you are achieving those numbers.

    If you could PM me with your methods I would be eternally grateful. I'll be happy to be your floor any day.

    Thanks,
    Peter

  • What anyone else thinks is irrelevant, so what if some guy says in his "sales pitch" that 150 - 200 a day is not good. Does he mean someone working full time or part time. Everyones situation and motivation is different.

    The only thing that matters is if you feel 150 - 200 a day is good, if you are happy with it it is.

    I'd also like to know the methods you are using if that is OK, I am always happy to learn from those doing better than I.

  • I'd sell my car for 150 to 200 leads per day, it's all a matter of perspective . . .

  • I would have to agree with precious007.
    I've seen people with a list of 700 completely out due
    someone else with a list of over 5k.

    And to answer your question, yes it is possible for someone
    that is unheard of pulling those kinds of numbers.

    Perry Belcher for example was completely unheard of until Ryan Diess
    pulled him out the darkness, and that's that he was spending over $500k per month on Adwords....well that's from my understanding, not to mention the fact that he had the proof to back it up.
  • Jesus, I would cut off my right arm for 150-200 leads a day lol
  • Hi Craig congratulation on your result

    now regarding your question, what's the lead value in your market.
    10 leads that want to buy a house worth 1000 leads that are looking for free information on articles

    here is my suggestion, you need to track your way to generate leads and apply the 80/20 rules to your lead generation.

    you'll probably find that one or 2 methods generate the most of your leads, when you find out, just drop the others method and do more of the one that give the best results

    just doing that you can double or triple your leads generation result quite fast

    also, if you can put some viral components to your lead generation process, it usually boost your results instantly. Like give them free access to one product, if they email 5 friends

    my 2 cents

  • It's all about quality not quantity. If my markt is super yachts then 8 leads a month might be all I need to snag a few big deals a year....if it M.M.O. $19 ebooks I might need a few thousand. Horses for courses. This guy isn't being 100% truthful with you here. STILL, he might offer a great product. So look into it.
  • hmmmm but again it depends on the quality. Are they buyers or "tyre freebie seeker, kickers?" 1 buyers is worth 100+ freebie seekers.

    Let's say I am only interested in people with $100K to invest......I am not going to get hundreds a week/month am i? But 6 good leads a month might be all I need to close out a few deals. Do not get stuck on numbers.

  • Geez...that's the biggest number I have ever come across.

  • If you are not convinced with his product forget about it.
  • Hi Craig,

    You have sort of answered your own question.

    You say that your lists are responsive that is the main thing and building a relationship with your list.

    It would vary from niche to niche anyway.

    My personal opinion is if you have 150/200 leads everyday that is awesome!

    Well done!
  • Is it by any chance someone called Daegan smith?
  • Craig,

    What is a new lead worth to your bottom line per month? $1 per month? $3? $5?

    Let's say, for example, that each new person nets you $1 per month in additional profit. If you get 150 new leads per day (at $1 per person profit), that grows your monthly income by $4,500.

    Now you could focus on more leads per day (and you should), but if you...

    * Cultivate your list (increases profit and reduces attrition rates)
    * Overdeliver on value (so much value these people feel indebted to you)
    * Establish and strengthen a relationship (so they look to you as the ONLY possible solution in the marketplace)...

    And you increase the profit to $2 per lead, well that's an additional $9,000 per month in profit from the same number of people.

    Beyond the short-term, focus on the lifetime value (LTV) per person. This will really put things into perspective about how valuable each new "friend" is to your life.

    Hope this helps!
  • if you're getting 150-200 leads a day (I wish I was ) I would just keep doing what your doing
  • Dont listen to that dude on the webinar Craig

    150-200 leads a day is TOP

    why would you want to buy more products, all you need to do is build a relationship with your list and promote products

    One of my mentors Simom Mo has 80 lists in 80 niches and there all under 1000 he makes millions online off them.

    You just need to rinse and repeat what your doing and put it together again in another niche.

  • Craig,

    Honestly, I would say that 150-200 leads a day for only 3 months work is fantastic. Good effort and congratulations.

    That being said, I would add one extra thing. Of that 150-200 leads, how many are converting to sales/team members? If your conversions are low (under around 10%), then you should consider the quality of the leads you are getting.

    Depending on the sources you are using, these leads might be too generic. If however, you're getting these leads from consistent production of valuable content (articles, videos, press releases, blogs, social media etc).

    Remember that the number of leads is irrelevant, it is the quality that counts. However, once you have a good conversion rates, you should find that 150-200 leads a day will give you a great deal of success!

    Best of luck and keep us posted on your success.
  • The questions moot.

    The number of leads is irrelevant.

    The value of the leads is hugely relevant.

    Hands up who wants 100 leads worth $100 ?

    Now hands up who wants 10 leads worth $10k

    The guy making fun of somebody only getting
    "x" number of leads per day , whilst not validating
    the value of those leads is a dunce.

    If somebody can get 1 quality lead per week
    worth $50k for a boat sale etc, that's 1 lead
    I'll be happy to take.
  • I want the 100 leads! :O

    I heard a bigger list means a bigger *****.

    Jokes aside, Simon has a point.
