Stop Wasting Money on Broke Leads - Douglas James

John Marsch & Chris Davisson Season 3 Episode 40

You're spending money on leads who will never buy—and you don’t even know it. Douglas James breaks down the painful truth behind most lead generation strategies and shows why 50% of application data is a flat-out lie. If you’ve ever had your sales team complain about "bad leads," this is your wake-up call.

Learn how Douglas developed LeadFi.ai to instantly know a lead’s real financial standing—credit score, income, credit limits—and route them through the funnel accordingly. This tech is changing the game for 7-, 8-, and 9-figure brands—and it could cut your acquisition costs in half.
