• There are 4 new comers to the list, which means we dropped 4 companies from the list (we dropped Instant Leads because they were merged with another company, Lead Power because of poor quality, New England Marketing because they just disappeared, and Fresh Leads USA because they are off the map too).
• Our #1 choice for 2010 dropped all the way to #7 . Still owned by the same guys, and still very expensive leads. But, the quality seems to have diminished, especially from what you are paying for.
• Thus, we have a new #1 company on our list. Over the last 4 years, we have received only 1 negative comment for every 10 positive comments. That is far and away better than any other company on our list.
• We have a big gainer, up 6 spots to #3. I was a bit surprised when putting this list together. I’m not sure quality has gone up as much as complaining has gone down. But, they still have great training.

Have a look at the list. I hope you continue to find this helpful. The one thing I want you to know is that I do not receive any kick back, incentives, or affiliate commissions from any of these leads companies. I may get a kick in the teeth now and then when a company contacts me as to why they are not on the list or they are ranked too low. But, this is a list based upon our research, Alexa rankings, comments from our website visitors, and ultimately the results you are getting. It doesn’t matter the price you pay for the leads in the end, it matters how your business is growing.

That is probably one of the top, mis-educated aspects of the MLM Leads industry – price. Someone’s leads may be cheaper, but that means absolutely nothing. I can spend twice as much as you and you may laugh at me, but I can out produce you by 10 times. The only time price is a factor is when you are paying 5-10 times as much and getting the same results as everyone else.

So, don’t complain about price, unless it is a real issue, and start focusing on the results you are receiving for the dollars you invested in both your training and the list of leads you purchased.

You can always refer to our list of Top 10 MLM Lead Companies, but you still have to make the choice yourself.

Reputable business- The most significant issue when doing business together with an additional company particularly one providing MLM leads is to find out just how well their name compares against others. Even though this is often a laborous process with there being quite a few organizations out there, you’ll find ultimately that it was worth the investigating. When you locate a company that was operating for 2 months when compared with one who has been in existence for several years what one will you lean towards? The last option probably, but suppose the 10 year old company has had nothing but continuous problems but the younger one doesn’t have a blemish, then which do you decide on? Either way you never would have known unless you did the research.

Customer Service- This is just necessary specifically in the beginning because most likely you will be unaware how their organization works for MLM leads, what ways to use, and you’ll want several helping hands along the way. Individuals that wont just steer you in the correct direction, but do it in a friendly manner at the same time. Whenever you can find both of these plus a support services workplace that’s available at all hours or at least those you will be working together with them then you’ve found yourself a safe bet.

Testimonials- These can be a dime a dozen plus in today’s society many do not actually believe the testimonails from others that are given almost all of the time. The best way to overcome this kind of barrier is usually to ask other members. Not only the people which have been there for ages, but the newer ones that have been around for only a couple months. You will get a honest review because the veterans will extend the down the road benefits as the more recent ones will show you the difficulties they may have tried to overcome using a new provider. Its a win/win situation for people overall.

Quality Leads- This will determine whether or not your business is going to flourish using this company or simply be considered a bust. There is nothing much more disheartening then getting a ton of network marketing leads through a provider then no one return your e-mails or anything at all simply because they’re “litter leads”. You may get a good evaluation again coming from both older as well as newer buyers.

Then of course how much are these kinds of leads going to cost and how many will you receive for the amount you will be spending. The lower the purchase price for each lead remember, “you get what you pay for” and in this example this holds true to a tee. Good, solid MLM leads can always be found at low costs should you research the above subjects completely.

There have been some significant changes in the leads industry… just as Peak Impact merging with GB Leads, some companies going out of business, others getting involved in “questionable” activities, etc. The last 2 years have affected many people, including companies.

Be looking for the updated list soon at the following link:

Top 10 MLM Lead Companies

My primary focus here is to see which companies are continuing to get the best reviews, the best lead for your money, the best customer service, lead replacement, support for your downline, integrity, not getting pitched on another business, good website, educational material, willing to go the extra mile, etc.

Another factor that wasn’t really considered in the past is technology. Many companies are now promoting the use of auto-dialers with their leads. While this is great, it means you have to use leads in a new way… albiet a good way (in my opinion)… but leads are not the same as they were a couple years ago.

So, be on the lookout for our new updated list.

Their most notable decline was in their customer service. Trying to call them was next to impossible. We have heard this from many people.  Well, Peak Impact as you knew them is no more.

Somewhere in mid to late 2010 they were bought and are merging with another company based out of Oklahoma. GB Lead Systems has taken things over, which is good news for the lead industry. They will have much better support and the lead quality should return to where it once was.

Be looking for some of those old Peak reseller sites to fade away, and a few of them that were more active to me merged into the GB Lead Systems network.

I don’t know much about GB Leads, except that they are one of the primary suppliers to many of the major lead companies out there.  They are the primary source. While I still believe that no one company generates all their own leads, GB Leads is one of the big boys.

If you’ve used GB Leads before, or if you have any further word on Peak Impact, let us know by leaving a comment.

Our initial review is as follows:

Positive:

Great prices.  They have some of the best prices for their leads

Negative:

The leads are horrible as a whole. So, despite the good prices, the bottom line is that the money you save is not worth the cost.  Here are some comments about these leads:

“I sold their leads a long time ago when they were MLMLeadGenie.  I thought I would try them again as MLMLeadSpecialist.  What a mistake.  It has been nothing but a mistake.  I have not had this much damage control to do from the customers that have bought these leads from me.” ~ Anonymous Reseller

“The leads were shocked that I called them. Everyone is surprised I am calling them! I was calling these with a group of people and I was embarrassed. There were duplicate leads and many angry people.  I did not speak with one person who knew what I was talking about.  Horrible.”  ~ P.K., Monavie

“What a mess. I hate to bash a company, but these leads are some of the worst I have ever called. ” ~ A.N., Iowa

“I don’t think I have ever requested a refund from a leads company before, but I did with them.  Not very impressed.” ~ R.C., Mannatech

While I don’ t really want to put down a leads company, it is amazing the number of negative feedback emails we have received. I would like to post something positive, but we never received any.

The purpose of this blog post is not to bash MLMLeadSpecialists, but to make our readers aware of what other customers are saying.

Today, most lead companies have some kind of a referral bonus… hey we’ll send you some free leads if you refer someone.  That’s nice, but I’d still rather have cash over leads… or both for that matter.

There are a couple of them out there, and I do understand that it’s not about getting wealthy off of a leads affiliate program, but I do intend to make at least $300-$500 per month with the Pro Email Leads affiliate program.  Here’s their banner. Just sign up for free and start promoting their leads.  It is a 2-tier affiliate program.  If you get 5 – 10 people a month who buy leads through your link, or if they are on your first or second tier, it won’t be hard to make a nice bit of money with their 30% payout.

While it is certainly no ProStep (RIP), it is a decent way to make a few extra bucks.  This may be one of the better kept secrets out there. Check it out while it’s still not flooded with affiliates.

Top 10 MLM Lead Companies

We try and keep that list up to date based upon some of the following criteria:

1. User Feedback – you write us and let us know anything that has been good, bad, horrible, or outstanding.  Just click on the Contact Form above to send us any feedback on a leads company you would like us to know about.
2. Company Websites – Some companies have websites that look like they were designed in the 70′s, long before the internet was around.  Basically we’re looking for up to date information, lead details, and a sense that someone is running the business who has a moderate level of responsibility
3. Customer Service – I like to call up lead companies to see what kind of customer service they have.  Some have zero.  Some are pretty good.
4. Sales People – Am I buying a used car or am I speaking to someone who would actually be a partner in business.  Some people you speak to you would think you are speaking to a snake.
5. Length of Business – Some companies are just too new to make the cut… because we don’t know much about them.  They could have been another leads company, but just changed names to hide their identity.

Other stuff too… but we mainly rely upon user feedback.  Drop us a not on our Contact Form and let us know what’s going on with your MLM Leads experience.

While I don’t have an answer for all of the details, in so many words the answer is yes.  Lead companies that were resellers for MLMLeadGenie.com received an email in mid-2009 that they should now begin buying their leads to resell from MLMLeadSpecialists.  Nothing really seemed to look or smell different… just seems to be the same leads with a different company name.

MLMLeadGenie has been around for many years and they have good relationships with a lot of MLM companies and top distributors within those companies to supply leads for their teams.  You don’t last as long as they have by delivering a bunch of crappy leads.

With that said… Lead Genie is probably one of the companies that receives more complaints about the poor quality of their leads than any other company that we get reports on.  So, I’m not exactly sure what does keep them in business.  For every one good comment, I get nine bad ones.

Some people complain just to complain. In many cases, I could take a list of leads that one person complained about, give it to a more experienced, seasoned networker, and he/she could get some results out of it.  But, when the complaints keep coming, there might be a pattern forming.

MLMLeadSpecialists/MLMLeadGenie have some of the best prices of any leads company out there.  I really believe they are worth testing.  Go buy 100 of their leads and test the numbers out for yourself.  It’s the only way you’ll ever know.  If you get results, then you may have just found a cheaper MLM lead than what you had been buying.  Or, you may have just realized it’s time to move on.

That’s true for any leads company.  Just don’t expect miracles with any lead. Get the training you need and what used to be a poor list, may begin to convert for you.

Let me qualify this.  I actually receive many more people reporting to me, but some of their comments are such a joke, they have no business buying leads to begin with.  For example, I got an email from a guy last week slandering a leads company.  He had bought email leads and was upset because they weren’t quality phone leads.  Save your breath.

I’m talking about real network marketers buying real MLM leads to build their business.  I’m not talking about people buying 10 leads for a penny and expecting gold to come pouring forth.

So, to the topic at hand – LeadPower.com

Lead Power has been around a while, and the quality of their leads has fluctuated.  I had received about 4 or 5 emails over the first half of the year that they were “okay.”  That was about it.  Nothing great, nothing bad.  Some good results, some zero results.

However, since the first of November, I have received over 20 emails about how horrible the quality of leads has been.  So called “interviewed” leads were a complete joke, way oversold, never verified, angry people (notice I didn’t say prospects), and probably worse than the email leads the guy I just mentioned was calling. 

The funny thing was, it wasn’t just a couple people.  4 0r 5 emails through the first 10 months this year.  20+ emails in the last month.  And, the people who are emailing me are a bit “passionate” about how upset they are with Lead Power.  These leads are “Putrid!!”  That is a direct quote from one of my readers.

So, buy with caution for now.  Things change.  Like I said, their lead quality has been inconsistent… it’s just this has been much worse than normal.  Another thing to beware of.  Lead Power has a reseller program and they aren’t afraid to use it.  They are reselling their leads to other lead companies to resell the same bad leads through other companies.

(**Disclaimer** – The quality of the leads is not reflected upon the employees of the company.  Do not call up LP and yell at their staff or whomever else.  It’s a waste of your breath, and nothing short of unprofessional.  They are just workers, so treat them with decency and respect.)

I asked what that meant, and he basically said that he has been working on making it easier to navigate, find the leads that are right for you, and then purchasing your leads.  One of the issues in the past, according to Rich, has been that there were too many links to click and it could be somewhat confusing for a first-time visitor.

Anyway, I just wanted to pass that along.  Be looking for the new design coming soon.  Below is a sneak peek at what it’s gonna look like.  The top will look slightly different from what Rich says, but you get a good idea.

Have a great week.
