California Spotlight #128

California founders. Real strategies. Zero filler.

Monetize “Ghost Leads” Without Selling to Them

Here’s what to do with leads who never responded or closed:

1. Export your non-converted leads from the past 12 months

2. Tag by type (agency, SaaS founder, small biz, etc.)

3. Find 2–3 affiliate tools or partner services aligned with their use case using GetRewardful or PartnerStack

4. Send a “Didn’t work with us? Try this instead” email

You can earn commission revenue on people you already paid to acquire, without fulfilling any services.

→ One agency founder in Sacramento recovered $920 in 6 days using this method.
