Today, 7.26 pm I've tried that too. Need a degree for that skill set too. 
Today, 7.05 pm The only way to get decent online leads that you can trust is to do it yourself.  You know where they come from, you control the flow, you target the niche you want to work in and know that they aren't shared with multiple advisers. Also much cheaper.

Today, 5.09 pm Bravo to Santander - finally a lender that is reducing their pricing based on the slight reduction in Swap rates that has occurred in the last week or so. Let's see if others will follow suit
Today, 5.01 pm Used PAA leads years ago and most were rubbish / small cases and some got refunded. I made a note of all leads purchased and now 20 years later I still have around 12 HNW clients from those oringinal leads who give me 30% of my new business. 2 clients give me 2-3 BTL Ltd auction purchases a month wi...
