Service Business Lead Generation
Service Business Lead Generation is a lead generation business that focuses on selling service packages for local businesses, where the entrepreneur negotiates a low rate with service providers and sells the services at a higher price. It was pitched on My First Million in the episode "Hormozi Teaches Me Everything He Knows in 90 Minutes" (aired August 6, 2025).

The problem it solves
Local service providers often find it difficult to attract customers, and entrepreneurs can capitalize on this gap by acting as intermediaries, ensuring steady customer flow for providers.
How it makes money
Revenue generated through the markup on service packages sold to customers, with potential for subscription models for ongoing service packages.
Skills you need
Sales acumen, negotiation skills, and a strong understanding of local market dynamics.
The market, and why this works now
Local service providers increasingly utilize platforms like Yelp and Google My Business to attract customers, making lead generation businesses viable by leveraging these established channels. An effective first-revenue move is to partner with the local chamber of commerce, offering exclusive service packages to members at a markup while promoting the offerings through their directory. A significant risk to consider is the customer acquisition cost, which can be high if marketing strategies do not yield immediate results, potentially leading to a lengthy payback period before profitability is achieved.
