Why Purchasing Leads Don't Work Most Of The Time

I received a phone call on my cell phone a couple days ago that reminded me why purchasing leads and cold calling never worked out for me. I answered the phone and the guy introduced himself and told me the name of his company which I had never heard of. He told me he was calling because I had submitted information that I was interested in starting a business from home. I told him there must be some kind of mistake, because I already had a home based business and was not looking for anything else, and haven't been for the last few years. I asked him to please take me off his list, thanked him and politely let him go. This brought back some very unpleasant memories for me. Memories of rejection. I knew I had not filled out any information about a home business opportunity. I might have filled out information on the internet for other things but nothing to do with working from home. You see, people spend their hard earned money, purchasing these $3 - $4 each leads and most of the time they are people that filled out information about something else and has no interest in what you have to offer, or they were truly interested in a home business, but after being called by several network marketers in the same day, they quickly change their mind. You have wasted your time and theirs. I am still convinced, if you want to build a huge list of good prospects, you have to generate your own leads. This way, the leads your are generating are people that have opted in to what you have to offer, and not just some poor victim that was shopping on line for sporting goods and got added to a biz opportunity leads list. Again, if you want to build a huge list of highly qualified prospects, my suggestion is to generate your own leads.
