Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a "fake lead" in B2B India?
Fake or unqualified leads include: students doing projects with no purchase intent, competitors checking your prices, bots and auto-submissions, enquiries for products you don't sell, buyers who are price-fishing with no budget, and contact details that don't respond after follow-up. On platforms like IndiaMART and JustDial, suppliers commonly report 30–70% of enquiries fall into this category.
How does VincitaMart keep fake lead rates below 5%?
Every VincitaMart enquiry requires WhatsApp verification — the buyer must send a message from their own number with their name, city, and specific product requirement. This friction naturally eliminates students, bots, and price-fishing with no real purchase intent. Supplier contact details are only shared after this step, not upfront like traditional platforms.
Is this calculation methodology correct?
This is a conservative estimate based on direct time costs only. It does not include: the opportunity cost of genuine leads missed while handling fake ones, the morale cost on your sales team, or the subscription fee you're paying for a platform delivering fake leads. Real-world cost is typically 1.5–2× the calculated figure when these factors are included.
