What should I expect in my first month buying leads?

Here is month one with the varnish off. Many leads will not answer the first call, normal, everyone screens unknown numbers, follow-up exists because of this. Some who answer will say no, also normal, sorting is the job description. Your first calls will feel clumsy and your twentieth will feel smooth, skill grows only through reps. And your results will trace your consistency almost perfectly: fast contact plus five-plus follow-ups beats slow-and-once by a landslide. So treat month one as training camp, not the championship. Track everything, attempts, conversations, appointments, because month one numbers become your baseline, and beating your baseline becomes the game. The buyers who struggle expected a slot machine. The buyers who win expected a skill. Walk in expecting the skill and month two starts paying.
