New Lead Generator Required – My Old Lead Generator Has Retired Once Again

What’s a lead generator exactly?

Arthur you should know this is an investors forum that values membership contribution. Those of us who own related businesses contribute our advice and expertise free of charge over years not months weeks or days because we are investors ourselves and value the conversation plus as a way to give back in a small way. In return those that like what they see get to “try before they buy” and have a better sense of our business style and so some end up becoming customers.

This is not in any way the kind of place where we buy or sell leads. It is not a place where we would sell our database of existing customers to spam email firms or others looking to co-opt a valid list. My limited understanding of Australian law ( @terryw can correct me) is that this would not be legal.

(this assumption is based upon your post over in buy swap sell https://www.propertyinvesting.com/topic/5023764-wanted-old-opted-in-data-bases-to-be-refeshed/) I would never personally sell my list, and I imagine the others here would not either as our clients signed up in good faith not expecting to be spammed by someone else.

All the best with your search for lists/leads but I imaging you would do better trying to find a paid source and there are plenty of marketing firms who can help you for a fee.

data bases are not like rent rolls. a rent roll is a business you can transfer. a database is a list of names which were collected for one reason or another, usually without the expectation that the details would be sold to third parties.

I don’t deny that.

I advise on the legal and taxation aspects of property as a lawyer and the loan aspects as a broker. But I have no connections with developers other than having a few as clients.
