Buying Leads VS Marketing 🥊 Who Wins

What to look out for when buying your leads

Hello Solar Squad,

Here are the Problems with Buying Leads for Solar Companies

Many successful solar companies now rely on buying leads, and in many cases, it seems like a smart choice—essentially outsourcing the marketing side of the business.

The Downsides

While buying leads can be effective, it also has potential downsides that may not be obvious right away. In the long term, heavy reliance on outsourced leads can create a dependency that weakens your control over your customer base and dilutes trust in the solar industry as a whole. Lead generation companies can often secure leads more affordably, often using "Free Solar" campaigns to attract attention.

Another critical factor to consider is the terms of your partnership with lead generation companies. Watch for companies that want to lock you into long-term contracts (6-12 months) without providing proof that their leads will perform as promised.

The Solution

To avoid these pitfalls, choose a partner whose product and values align with your own. Look for lead generation companies that offer white-label options so you can brand their leads as your own. Prioritize companies that focus on achieving a low cost per acquisition (CPA) rather then low cost per lead (CPL) and use transparent, ethical messaging in their advertising campaigns.
