if your not going to make at least $100/mo ($2000 CLTV) it's probably not going to be cost effective.

That would depend entirely on your conversion rate, cost per lead, and profit margin.
why do you feel this way?
Let's assume you have a cold list and you want to turn it into someone that's willing to talk to your sales person. So your going to get about 6 a shift let's call a shift 6 hrs. So, your at ~$10 a lead. Let's say you close 1 out of 10. On a free trial or something with minimal commitment. Now your at $100/trial. Now to convert them to an actual regularly paying customer your at another 1 out of 10, or $1000. Plus you have to pay the person that converts them to the free trial and get's their credit card#.
