Evaluating Lead Requests

Before submitting leads, evaluate if a request is a good fit:

Check the Price

  • Consider the effort to source the lead
  • Compare to similar requests

Price comparison:

Category Low Average High
Cleaning £10 £20 £35+
Plumbing £15 £30 £50+
Legal £50 £100 £200+

Read the Description

Good descriptions tell you:

  • What specific leads the buyer wants
  • What makes a good lead for them
  • Their ideal customer profile

Look for:

  • Clear requirements
  • Specific criteria
  • Reasonable expectations

Review Location Requirements

Make sure your leads match:

  • Accepted countries
  • Accepted cities (if specified)
  • Service area coverage

Check the Buyer Profile

Click on the buyer to see:

  • How long they've been on the platform
  • Number of leads purchased
  • Response rate to submissions

Read the Terms

Buyers may have specific terms:

  • "Lead must be over 18"
  • "Lead must own the property"
  • "Lead must need service within 30 days"

Important: You'll agree to these terms when submitting.

Check FAQs

Some buyers include FAQs answering common seller questions:

  • What areas do they cover?
  • What's their response time?
  • Any special requirements?

Matching Your Leads

Ask yourself:

  1. Do I have leads for this category?

    • Only submit leads that genuinely match
  2. Are my leads in the right location?

    • Check before submitting
  3. Do my leads meet the requirements?

    • Read terms and description carefully

Saving and Organizing

Bookmarking (if available)

Regular Browsing

Make it a habit:

Pro Tips

1. Specialize

Focus on categories where you:

  • Have the best lead sources
  • Understand the buyer's needs
  • Can provide quality leads consistently

2. Build Relationships

Submit quality leads to the same buyers:

  • They'll learn to trust your leads
  • Faster acceptance over time
  • May increase their purchasing

3. Watch for New Requests

New lead requests often have:

  • Less competition
  • More room for your leads
  • Buyers eager to receive submissions

4. Compare Prices

If multiple buyers want similar leads:

  • Submit to higher-paying requests first
  • Quality over quantity

5. Read Between the Lines

A buyer's description reveals:

  • What hasn't worked for them before
  • What they really value
  • How to make your lead stand out
