#1196: Why Lead Hoarding is Stopping Your Growth

Finding leads feels like progress. But a pile of leads sitting in your database does nothing for your business until you actually buy something and send it in.   In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Jimmy Smith breaks down one of the most common patterns he sees after years of training Amazon sellers: people get great at finding leads, then freeze when it comes time to buy. He explains why that happens, both the practical side of filtering a huge lead list down to the best opportunities, and the mental side of being scared to make a purchase and get it wrong.   You'll hear why 10 leads you actually buy will beat 10,000 leads you never touch, how to think about the small cost of a lesson when a buy doesn't work out, and a simple daily rhythm you can use to keep momentum going: one hour finding leads, one hour buying.   Jimmy also shares his starting markers for newer sellers, why breaking even can still be a win when you're learning, and how to lean on the community when you're not sure about a product.   If you've been building your list but haven't been pulling the trigger, this episode is for you.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I don't have Jeff's team on retainer, can they still help me?
