Show HN: We built manual user acquisition as a service

IMO the content on the site does not reflect it to be &#x27;user acquisition as a service.&#x27;<p>Value Prop - I think the site&#x2F;service is very generic and might need some specific niche. A lead for a plumber is very different than a consulting company or an airplane selling company. The site makes it look like I can plugin ANY type of B2B business and start getting leads.<p>Pricing - If I am a local roofer and paying $800 to leadgeni.us I&#x27;d pay for a specific number of leads rather than 20 hours of research. Further, the site doesn&#x27;t tell me who will research for the deals. Are these interns, experts in my field or people who have minimum of 3 years experience in deal finding?

I just signed up, but I really don&#x27;t understand what you are doing. Will you be finding leads and emailing them? Will you just curate lists of potential leads? Either way- it&#x27;s an interesting CA channel to try. But I think you should make that clearer...If it&#x27;s wasnt for HN i would never pay up front for a service without seeing any benefit first (esp $800)

One thing.. calling yourself &quot;as a service&quot; usually means it&#x27;s a SAAS, no? Otherwise, why not call yourself an user acquisition agency? or user acquisiton consultancy? There&#x27;s no real product we&#x27;re paying to use is there? (not trying to put these guys down, just trying to nitpick on terminology)

The tagline for show HN sounds really interesting, but going to your site makes it very clear that you don&#x27;t understand how the lead market actually works. People don&#x27;t pay for &quot;hours of research&quot;, they pay for the contact info of a person who has demonstrated that they are in market and ready to make a purchase decision. It&#x27;s not clear that the leads you provide are in market - from the sounds of it, you&#x27;re just creating a list of prospects? That could be interesting, but prospecting is very easy to outsource and there are already several companies (data.com, jigsaw, etc) already have a very robust database of prospects for a lot less than $800 a month. I don&#x27;t want to rain on your parade, but I think you need to really deeply evaluate your product&#x2F;market fit.

What does <i>lead research</i> entail? Will they cold call for 40 hours?

This is very interesting! I had one question -- I couldn&#x27;t figure out what types of leads you are capable of generating. Is it primarily for B2B enterprise leads of can it scale down to $100 digital products? Any verticals you&#x27;re specifically targeting?

Very interesting idea, but lots of red flags here.<p>1. This isn&#x27;t user acquisition. Nothing even close to it. User acquisition would be getting users. This is at best getting leads that aren&#x27;t even warm. A lead is not a user.<p>2. Paying by the hour instead of by lead or something else seems bizarre. On the low end, it is $800 for ~88 hours of &quot;lead research&quot; along with nebulous &quot;Strategy consultation&quot; and &quot;ROI analysis&quot;. Assuming they aren&#x27;t lying, they are either losing money or your &quot;Dedicated LeadGenius&quot; is making minimum wage and they are maybe breaking even after taxes and overhead.<p>I would love to see a service like this that was simply commission based with perhaps a monthly fee. Do the full sales process instead of just lead gen as a test to see if sales will work well for your particular business. Much lower risk than hiring someone full time. Perhaps the churn on this would be too high?

I find the service interesting. But, I suppose lead research is done through outsourcing somewhere cheap because at 800$ per month for 20hrs&#x2F;week, how can they make a profit? It amounts to about 10$ an hour.

Lead Gen is a tough industry, good luck
