"I built my business on a philosophy of “Sharing & Caring”, but after 6 years in business, I had run through my ‘warm market’ and I was referred to Leads Club. I instantly had 29 members marketing my business on a weekly basis. In the first 3 months my retail sales increased by 80%. Nine years later, the majority of my business is still Lead based referrals. Leads Club has been the least expensive, most effective form of marketing and advertising. I believe wholeheartedly in the concept of Leads and the value of word of mouth advertising. I developed public speaking, sales and recruitment skills in my business, and I believe those skills are the qualifiers for allowing me to be an effective Chapter Consultant and ambassador to Leads Club."

"Leads Club is the best, most cost-effective means of advertising your business! Where else can you hire a sales team of up to 29 people, have two 30-second commercials each week, and make a presentation about your business every 2-3 months for $30 per month or less? Leads Club, through the hot outside referrals given to me, led to approximately 65% of my company's business last year! In fact, one lead resulted in 7 spin-off leads -- all of whom became clients! I am honored to represent Ali Lassen's Leads Club in Florida as a Chapter Consultant, Regional Marketing Director, and Webmaster. It's great to contribute to an organization that is proven, established, and which has made such a positive impact on me and my business success!"
