Does Anyone Know Where I can Find Cheap 1-800 # Service!

I'm almost ready to start advertising offline to generate leads and I need an inexpensive service to gather these leads for a local mortgage broker. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks in advance.

This means your coverage will be limited. No need for an 800 number.

Why do YOU need to gather leads for someone else? Is it your job? Do you get a percentage of the close? Do you get $X per lead?

Why aren't they doing this themselves?

Does anyone

Why do you want an 800 number? What is so wrong with letting those who are making the inquiry, pay for the call themselves?

What information is being collected from those who call? Who is collecting it?

Answering these questions first will enable us to help you better. 800 numbers are not the be all and end all of lead generation.

Sam,

I use www.AutomatedMarketingSolutions.com for
my toll free lead generation service. My advice
is to get the 100 box version (doesn't cost much
more) so you have flexibility.

And don't get an "800" number. Get an "877"
or something like that. Usually "800" numbers
have been bought from companies that used them
as order lines or customer service lines and
are usually still listed somewhere so you'll
be getting (and paying) for those calls.

If you've purchased a very active "800" you're
going to get whacked with a healthy phone bill
and a bunch of unwanted calls, plus, if you're
paying for transcriptions, they'll be transcribing
messages that have nothing to do with your business.

I have a relationship with AMS so if you tell them
my name, David Frey, they'll waive your setup
fee, which is about $80 I think.

Good luck.

David,

Actually I've had the same problem with an 866 and 877 number.

I'm using TTi, however, there are others who are part of the same family of services. Think that the main site is www.ld.net

I'm an affiliate for them, but as is necessary on these lists, I didn't use that link.
