Why “Bad Leads” Are Wasting Your Time (and How to Finally Fix It)

Let’s be honest—bad leads are the business equivalent of buying a scratch-off lottery ticket. You might win, but more often than not, you’ve just wasted your time, your energy, and a few bucks you’ll never see again.

If you’ve ever:

  • Jumped on a call with someone who “just wanted to pick your brain.”

  • Followed up with a prospect 11 times only to hear, “I’m not ready yet.”

  • Paid for ads that got clicks but zero sales…

…then congratulations—you’ve been ghosted by bad leads.

Why Bad Leads Happen

Most businesses don’t struggle because their product stinks. They struggle because they’re fishing in the wrong pond. You wouldn’t try to sell yoga mats at a monster truck rally (unless you’re into disappointment), so why do so many business owners throw money at generic marketing that brings in anyone with a pulse?

Bad leads happen when your marketing is:

  • Too broad: “We help everyone” really means “we help no one.”

  • Too shallow: Surface-level ads and websites don’t build trust.

  • Too cheap: Hiring cut-rate freelancers or slapping together DIY campaigns guarantees you get cut-rate results.

Bottom line: Stop chasing bad leads. Stop wasting money on clicks that never convert. Start filling your calendar with people who actually want what you’re offering.

Because bad leads? They don’t just waste your time—they kill your momentum. And you deserve better.
