Why do some business leaders spend small fortunes on office furniture and then refuse to buy lead lists?

The decision to purchase a lead list is a decision to invest in your company's future. It's the purchase of an asset that can deliver real financial returns in the form of increased sales revenues.

Avoid Misuse of Lead Lists

When you purchase a list of textiles store leads from a third-party, you are usually entitled to limited use of the contacts it contains.

Mailing and lead lists are generally restricted to the terms of the contract, so you'll need to exercise diligence in understanding what you're paying for before you agree to a purchase. In some cases, vendors may permit usage upgrades, but you'll need to contact your provider before you engage in sales and marketing activities that are contractually prohibited.
