Where to sell Nationwide Bird Dog Leads

[Christopher Olson]

Hello. I have a method of coordinating teams of bird dogs all over the country and I end up with lots and lots of vacant house leads I can't do anything with.

I get them from random places all over the country. I know these are worth something to somebody.

Question is: How much are they worth, and to whom? These leads come with property photos, property details and comps...

Chris, I agree with Aaron. Build yourself a real estate business on top of it.

I've worked on software products that people actually paid for and I'll offer some advice.

>> Find out what your customers will actually pay for. There's a lot of literature on the topic, start with Steve Blank's Customer Development. Never assume your're a typical customer.

>> Don't view your software as a competitive advantage. It's not. Based on what you describe a determined competitor could build it in under a month, except (perhaps) for your training content. Figure out what your advantage really is and keep widening your competitive moat. 

>> Look for business partners/investors who know something about software as well as real estate. If they're willing to invest to get your product/service off the ground, not only will you have validation that it's a good idea but you'll gain some great business advisors who are motivated to help you succeed. If you're the only one in love with your idea, it's time to pivot. 

Best of luck to you Chris.
