Sounds like a scam. You pay for opportunity to get appointment, but no assurance on quality of lead and no exclusivity.

Waste of time and money

For real it’s a legit scam. Stay away I can dive into my emails if you like and post the names of the crooks and scheisters who are sending you emails if you like. I bet it’s the same bunch of people. I recall the name Cleo

If you want I’ll post the name and company. Lead companies these days are the biggest bunch of crooks they prey on advisors who think all it takes is spending some $ to get in front of people. It’s a scam caveat emptor. Which vendors ?

Suggestions?
