Why Agencies Don’t Guarantee Leads in the First Month

The Temptation of Quick Wins

When clients ask, “Can you guarantee me 30 leads in the first month?”, it shows a misunderstanding of how lead gen works. The short answer: no, we don’t—and here’s why.

The Learning Phase Is Crucial

The first few months are all about learning: testing messaging, refining target lists, evaluating responses. No matter how experienced the agency is, your product, audience, and message are unique. This phase can’t be rushed.

False Promises Hurt Everyone

Agencies who promise early guarantees often overdeliver on volume and underdeliver on quality. They’ll send messages to anyone just to hit the number. That hurts your reputation, burns potential leads, and wastes money.

What You Should Look for Instead

Look for transparency, a clear process, and honest feedback. The best agencies will tell you what they’re learning, how the campaign is evolving, and what they’re doing to improve results over time.

Long-Term Success Requires Patience

We start offering guarantees after 4–6 months—only once we’ve collected enough performance data. That’s when projections become predictable and reliable, not before.

Summary

Lead gen is a long game, not a magic trick. Trust partners who focus on long-term value, not quick fixes.
