Today, 4.51 pm I find that my biggest time waster on applications is going back and tidying up the case first (i.e. is the fact find up to date, have we got the right docs in the right order etc) If I have to do that then 2 hours as well, but if i take care to do everything at the right time and ensure that the c...
Today, 4.44 pm I think the best option for me is the same as many above which is to switch off at a set time and stop being a doormat for everyone expecting you to be available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I also switched from a mobile number to just a business number in 2021 and the business number turns on at ...
Today, 4.42 pm My gran used to say "if you dont have the money, you go without".  That is how I have always lived.
Today, 4.34 pm SBS can also be looked into as I recently started a case with them on 85% LTV basis
Today, 4.34 pm Ultimately your needs are not the same as your wants.

Today, 4.31 pm PAA leads were pretty good back in the day. They now go direct to L and C and account for a large part of their business. I think they pay a split plus a small lead cost for them. 
Today, 4.25 pm We did quite well out of the Leads that Leadbay and PAA could not sell. We were picking them up £1 a pop - contacting them all and following up the warm ones. I'm not a fan of paying close to three figures to work on details of someone you don't know.  
Today, 4.21 pm Since time and memorium lead providers all talk a good game but rarely deliver the goods, back in the day we used to buy tons of leads off the likes of Leadbay, Paaleads and on and on. Stopped once established as most of the time the leads were crap but we did get golden nuggets. Havent bought a lea...
Today, 4.17 pm Since moving away from Tenet Lime (no choice) now with Primis who are fine, but a case top to bottom with all compliance etc done is about 2 hours its a matter of setting the case up that takes the time, as we all now file checkers like a good story for some reason.🤣 
Today, 4.15 pm Do them all the time, also do other surveys which pay £15-£200 for a zoom meeting and they pay straight into your nominated account, about 5 a year so well worth it.
