BUYERS & SELLERS What is the impact of Lead Prioritization on Buyers and Sellers at the point of purchase?
What BUYERS want… QUALITY VOLUME
What SELLERS want… REVENUE
It comes down to this… QUALITY REVENUE & But the current model isn’t working very well…
How do BUYERS address QUALITY today? • “Brand Sourcing” • Edmunds, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, KBB, Cars.com, AutoTrader • Outcome Data Measurement • Rate suppliers based on closing % • Adjust lead flow from various lead gen sources • Pay For Performance • Increased payout based on lead closing %
So what is the PROBLEM? All leads are not of the same quality …even those from the “best” sources

How can we change the model? Take Advantage of Lead Scoring at Point of Purchase • Use predictive intelligence to buy exactly what you want • Buy leads based on their score • Pay a price based on the value of the lead • Improve operational efficiencies • 10s close 5X higher than 1s – Buy the 10s • Dynamic, Market-Driven Pricing • Pricing based on ‘Propensity to Buy’ • Increased focus on ROI, less on cost per lead
Impact on Lead Generators? • Get paid a premium for your highest quality leads • Every source has high-value leads • Let buyers compete for your best leads • Access to More Buyers • Lead Scoring vs. Brand Sourcing • Level playing field in an open market • Benefit from Market Pricing • “Best Price for your Best Leads”
