How to choose an LO marketing platform
Most platforms in this category promise the same two things: agent partners and a full pipeline. The difference is how. Evaluate every option against the same criteria before you sign anything.
The criteria that actually decide it.
Category-level guidance. Apply the same list to every option you consider, including ours.
Where partners actually come from
Cold outreach into the open market is not the same as placement inside an existing network. Ask for the source, the size, and the matching method.
Consent-based sourcing
California mortgage marketing after the 2026 trigger-lead changes has to be consent and relationship based. Confirm nothing in the stack depends on purchased credit triggers.
Co-marketing compliance
Proportional cost share, documented invoices, and locked disclosure blocks are your obligation. Ask whether the platform produces the paper trail automatically.
Speed to first contact
Purchase-intent inquiries decay fast. Ask what happens to an inquiry at midnight before you ask about reporting.
Pricing transparency
Published platform fee plus a visible rate card for metered usage. Demo-gated pricing is a signal about the whole relationship.
Attribution you can defend
Per-campaign, per-partner attribution that survives an audit beats a dashboard of vanity charts.
Data portability
Contacts, notes, and campaign history exportable on demand, with real month-to-month terms.
Training and support
Ask how often a human teaches the system, and how fast support answers outside business hours.
Score every option on the same scale.
Rate each option 1–5 per category, multiply by the weight, and total it. Adjust the weights to your business — the point is to decide before a demo, not during one.
Where do the agent partners come from?
Ask to see the source and the size of the pool, and how matching is decided.
Does anything here rely on purchased credit triggers?
Get the answer in writing. Your license carries the exposure, not the vendor's.
Who documents the co-marketing split?
Ask to see a sample invoice and the disclosure block that ships on regulated pieces.
Is pricing published?
Ask for the full rate card, including metered usage, before the demo ends.
How do I leave?
Confirm export formats, notice period, and what happens to partner records.
