Pay Per Lead FAQ: Q: Can I target certain markets? A: Yes, of course we want to obtain the best quality lead for you, but if you become too specific our ability to produce may be limited. Q: I don’t want competitors, educators or consultants; do I have to pay for these? A: No, RTC will review each lead for quality concerns. Typically we will eliminate 10% percent of the leads for these types of reasons. Q: Can I buy more leads then contracted for? A: Yes, but quantity is not our objective. We prefer that you identify an amount and budget so we can design the campaign around your needs. Q: What if I am doing my own marketing at the same time – for example, for a Webinar or Lunch-and-Learn? A: You don’t have to worry – all our promotion will be gated to affirm registration information is completed. You will know our leads, as they will come from us.
