What is this?
A lead generation business sells qualified conversations, not long lists. Find and check likely customers for businesses that know who they want to reach. Start with one simple offer for one type of buyer. Keep the first test small so a weak result does not cost too much. Ask real buyers what they need and what they would pay. Try to get a real sale before you spend more. Use what you learn to improve the next test.
Why it may work
- You can start with one useful skill.
- A small paid job can test the offer.
- Client feedback can help you improve quickly.
- You can grow after you can deliver the work well.
