FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it cost anything?
No. Create a LeadsIt account (no card) and finish onboarding: every lesson unlocks. There is no paid tier of the course.
Why do I need an account?
The course is hands-on: each lesson shows the app and asks you to try a search. Onboarding builds the seller profile every lesson uses. It takes about two minutes.
Does the course promise results?
No, and nobody honest can. The course teaches methods. What you get from it depends on your offer, your market and your work. Every price in it is a labelled example.
Do I have to buy anything?
Not to read it. To work real lists you search with LeadsIt: your first city search comes with a new account, then packs start at $6.90 ($11.90 for 10 searches + the CRM as a first purchase). No subscription; credits never expire.
What do I get for finishing?
Complete the 14 core lessons and get 1 extra search credit, once per account.
I am a beginner. Is it for me?
Yes. The basics assume no sales experience. Some use cases need a skill (websites, cleaning, social media); others, like appointment setting, mostly need the phone.
Is it legal to contact these businesses?
The course covers it: CAN-SPAM in the US, PECR and the TPS/CTPS in the UK, CASL in Canada. LeadsIt only shows public business contacts.
Is it available in French?
Yes. The course follows your app language, English or French, and you can switch at any time.
