How do cost per lead and cost per call differ?

Cost per call bills you when a caller who meets the brief reaches your phone line. Cost per lead bills you for a lead record your team calls back. Pick the event your intake team can actually work.

When is CPA a better fit than a call or a lead?

CPA, cost per acquisition, fits when you want the completed action on a page you control, and your team can work the call or the lead that page creates. It is a weak buy if you have no page you trust and no one assigned to whatever the visit produces.

Does a qualified call mean the person will buy?

No. Qualified means the caller matched rules you wrote, such as product, geo, and hours. The sale still depends on answer rate, the talk track, and the offer.

How are live, warm, and cold transfers labeled?

A live transfer is a call from a TV ad, transferred. A warm transfer is a transferred call generated by digital ads. A cold transfer is a transferred call where someone reached back out to the consumer. Put those meanings in the order so both sides use the same words.

Which platforms track the calls?

Ringba, Retreaver, and TrackDrive. Ask which one the campaign uses so your team pulls the matching report for duration, source, and disposition.

How do I start a test campaign?

Send the brief from the buyers page: states, hours, product, exclusivity, and what you will not pay for. A short test with those rules beats a large order with none of them written down.
