@Gerard Bateau @Amy Lyons I am crazy busy but still here.  Skipleader.com

@Dylan Bertola

You might need to bring your expectations down a little bit.  A service that returns even 90% of the numbers submitted with 90% accuraccy @ .04 cents per hit does not exist.  I bet you will find the accuracy rate of your numbers to be below 10%.  

@Daniel Riojas no that is not normal.  Are you using a free service like whitepages, spokeo or similar?  I hate to say it but you get what you pay for.  Using our service as a benchmark you should be able to reach 57% to 76% of the owners on your list.

How are you skip tracing the owners and are you using the mailing address or property address when searching?    If you are using a free/cheap service like whitepages, spokeo, beenverified, etc that is part of the problem.  Secondly you need more than 60 leads.  I would say plan to make contact with at least double that amount.  No deals?...analyze and adjust....analyze and adjust until you have a 1-3% conversion rate.

@John Fall

What do you think your monthly volume will be?  Do you have the owners name?  Some places, myself included frown on free test lists for a number of reasons. The main reason being  VOLUME!  While the numbers we provide are excellent, a small test of 50 to 100 names may not give you the results you are looking for and decide not to move forward.  This is a cheaper and better way to market in the LONG run.  Once you get your list/market/niche/pitch dialed in you should put the same amount of money into this as your old marketing plan and that is when your conversion rate, free time, and profits will increase and costs go down.  Seach my name in BP search and you should have all the reccomendations you need.  

@Paul Martin about how many leads can your VA process in an hour?

@Drew Byrd 

you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to skip tracing.  The best bang for your buck is to skip in bulk.  You can get good quality data from .50 to 1.50 depending on your volume and the company you use.  

@Doug Haisten If a VA is up to no good a written agreement is not going to stop him. Make sure they have a good rating and legitimate references and you should be ok.
