Only Pay for Leads That Close Deals

6 minutes

In this episode, James Dooley and Kasra Dash break down the mechanics and real profitability of the pay-per-sale lead generation model, a structure where businesses only pay once a confirmed sale has been made. Kasra Dash explains why this approach eliminates the traditional risks associated with PPC fees, pay-per-lead arrangements, and unpredictable conversion rates. Instead of paying for traffic or leads that may not convert, businesses share a portion of their actual profit, creating a performance-driven partnership.

The conversation highlights how pay-per-sale works across industries such as e-commerce, roofing, solar panel installation, conservatories, and local trades. By walking through real numerical scenarios, Kasra Dash demonstrates how both the lead generation company and the business owner can assess cost per acquisition, conversion rates, and revenue margins to ensure the setup benefits both sides.

James Dooley emphasizes that this model only succeeds when both parties know their KPIs and understand the profitability thresholds. They also outline why many agencies avoid this structure due to the financial risk and why FatRank.com is one of the few providers willing to operate on a true commission-based system.
Listeners looking for a low-risk, results-driven lead generation setup will gain clarity on whether pay-per-sale is the right fit for their business.
