Question

Im on the lookout for a good lead generating site. I stumbled across this one and wanted to see if anyone else on here has used or is using them and if so what kind of success theyve had.

They are somewhat inexpensive and offer unlimited squeeze pages along witb the website.

If anyone can add anything I would much appreciate it!

I always get concerned when I can't get a demo of something in 2013 without scheduling a call with a sales rep . . . unless it is a super high end b-to-b product, consumer facing products like websites are commodities these days.

Additionally, it appears that the site itself is fairly dated -- if their site isn't keeping up with the times, I worry that their product isn't either.

I also found the sales pitch of: "What's all this worth? Our math says about $17,000 plus an additional $8,000 to $20,000 per year! " for a website -- to be a little bit much.    I can't think of an online service that we use in our business that didn't clearly state pricing on their website -- this site tells you to call to find out about their pricing.

Furthermore, you can set up your own lead generating website for free (we did a tutorial on how to set one up here).  Back in the 1990s, that pricing may have made some sense, but the internet has come a long way and I see little justification of those prices, no matter what "bonuses" are included.

That said, I have no experience working with these guys, but I believe there are likely alternatives.  It may work for you, but before you throw down payment, I'd make sure you investigate the alternatives and compare/contrast everything you get for your money.

If anyone is working with them, I'd be very curious to see your live website.

Great insights. Yes the pitchy stuff usually throws me off guard as well. I've just been finding how important a website is and I know I need to do it right.

Thanks Josh!
