Is This Really a New Lead or Just Another Waste of Time?

G

Just had a home office lead.
Hooray!
Called the lady and she needed help finding her original consultant.
What a waste of a lead!!
Hate that!:grumpy:
Just had to vent.
 
Several of my leads lately have been for vendor events, but then when I call them back they've already found someone. WTF???
 
Ugh. :( :( :(
 
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
 
I just got a lead today from someone who lives about an hour from here. "You live too far from me to get what I want delivered by Monday. I'll keep your information in case I need anything else..." She hung up before I could reply. Whatever!

I just closed mu final Dec snow so unless I get more leads that actually purchase I'm at $2000 for the month.
 
I have had a few from about 30 miles away that expect me to have the entire catalog on hand for them to purchase and then get mad when they have to order an pay shipping. Hellllooooo I am not a bank!
