Find Sales Leads at LeadVine.com

Posted: November 28th, 2008 by Jeff

At LeadVine.com, “the community is your salesforce”. The service aims to help companies find sales leads and allows individuals to make money by giving referrals.

Generating Leads: It’s fairly quick to setup a profile and to post your sales lead. You can include a minimum lead amount, including details of the referral fee agreement. Answer a few qualifying questions like “You know to refer me when…” and “Decision maker to refer me to…”.

My sales lead is fairly target, stating that I am “Looking for businesses or agencies in need of Video Production services”. It’s now up to the Leadvine community to refer me to appropriate leads.

Making Money: I’ve yet to experiment with this part of the service, but it seems fairly straight forward. Come across a need for a product or service that you don’t offer, but someone on the network does? Maybe you can make a few bucks by sending on the lead.

But does it work? I think like most online communities, it would require some real participation in order to realize any benefits whatsoever.

A better approach might be to integrate LeadVine.com into an existing fee-based referral program. Tracking leads and making referral payments can be tricky, but this site could be used to simply process these leads as opposed to relying on it to also generate them. You could include a link on your website or in your email signature asking people to refer you using the service - Although it would force them to register, which some may hesitate to do.

So if you ever come across a business in need of Video Production, send them my way and I’ll make it worth your while.
