How do you qualify candidates as being the target audience, and what happens if it’s a really small, hard-to-reach niche - how do you guarantee the number of respondents?
To add onto this, how much manual intervention is required in creating the list and contacting them? I feel like there's a reason the competition costs so much more. Seems like, even with "AI" involved, there would be quite a bit of leg work.
There is some, to be honest. I am running at $0 profit (as per my report). I have got a nice discount for leads (I am categorized as a research project since I strip all the personal data). This gives me the ability to run this. There is some time required for each order and there will be no way this could be 100% hands-off project.
There is no low cost option like ours because of two reasons:
1) There is barely any competition, so companies just use that to hike up prices.
2) They provide the leads that answered the survey, so they cannot be categorized as a research project. This makes those leads cost 5-10 times what I pay.
OK, that makes sense. I'm sure you've thought of this, but you are inline with your lead generators terms of service by charging for your product? I'd hate to see you get in trouble since you are getting some social traction here.
Yes, that is allowed. I can sell results, not actual data. No risk for me whatsoever as long as I make sure no personal data of leads is given to the end customer.
> They provide the leads that answered the survey...
That, in itself, seems like it's worth the extra cost so you could do things like "Hey, your survey information was very helpful, here's 50% off your first meal at BurgerBarn!"
Some niches are indeed impossible to reach. If the niche is extremely small I advise on contacting me first. If I will be unable to deliver I will simply issue a refund.
Candidates are qualified through lead generation tool. You need to specify your audience during the order process. We use that to find them.
