In this episode, James Dooley and Kasra Dash break down one of the most important questions business owners ask: What is the safest lead generation strategy today? While every industry—from solar to EV to e-commerce—operates differently, the hosts explain why partnering with a proven lead generation company remains the most reliable, lowest-risk starting point. With commission-based partnerships, businesses avoid paying upfront for SEO, PPC, websites, content, or calls. Instead, the lead gen provider carries the cost and risk, and the business pays only for results.

Kasra also unpacks why other methods, while valuable, come with higher risk. Pay-per-lead systems can drain budgets if leads don’t convert. SEO offers long-term benefits but is often undermined by poor-quality agencies and slow ranking timelines. PPC introduces additional uncertainty through click fraud, irrelevant traffic, and poor keyword targeting. For e-commerce brands, social media ads and affiliate marketing become essential, especially when customers aren’t actively searching for products.

The episode closes with a practical message: although hiring a lead generation company is the safest route, real long-term growth happens when businesses adopt an omnichannel approach—combining SEO, PPC, social media, paid ads, and affiliate partnerships to build predictable, scalable lead flow.
