Shared and Fake Paid Leads
Businesses waste money on purchased leads that are shared, fake, stale, or unresponsive, with no refunds or recourse.
In their words
It is not a lead. It is an auction where they charge all of us to enter.
By the end of one week, they charged me an additional $235 for these so-called leads.
Getting garbage non-exclusive leads is a worthless time suck.
Every time I think I've found a decent provider, the lists are full of bad numbers, stale records, or duplicates.
roughly 95% of the numbers we're calling don't even pick up
I probably wouldn't pay for leads but I would happily pay a % on closed jobs.
I spent more or less $80 in one week on leads, and none of them got me a job
This is not a bad lead, not a low-quality lead; this is straight-up spam sitting inside their paid lead system.
Most of the lead vendors I've looked at seem to be selling the same lists to everyone, and the results have been pretty hit or miss.
the lead costs have gotten pretty ridiculous lately
I would spend about $42 on a "fresh" exclusive lead just to finally get a hold of them after 10+ tries for them to tell me they already signed up with another agent a while ago
Most people on Thumbtack are just shopping for the lowest price. A lot of the leads (especially one-offs) were low quality.

Why those fall short
- Same lead sold to multiple contractors; leads ghost, disconnected, or are tire kickers
- lead companies don't reimburse unless number disconnected
- garbage non-exclusive leads, worthless time suck, no positive ROI
- Leads resold to 4-5 contractors; homeowners only price-shopping with no intent
- refunds hard to track, leads sold to many pros, no transparency on charges
