First marketer gets the boot

30 leads a day is what I need which takes around 5 marketers. I have three now, two more getting hired today. However, looks like a have a wrench getting thrown in the works. I got 4 leads on Friday from one of them and these are the emails:

duckpinquee123@comcast.net
lindarosenthal123@comcast.net
jobjob123@gmail.com

Notice a pattern?

I mean, common! That's not even trying! Heck, at least try to be clever about it. The good news is I don't prepay - they work a week then I cut them a check. So obviously she's toast and won't be paid on those leads.

I assume you called the phone numbers of the 3 'bogus' leads she gave you before you fired her? Where they indeed 'made up'?

Don't you pay $12 an hour?

How do you know (or find out) if they actually worked the hours they bill you for?

I obviously take terminating someone very seriously so right now the ball's in her court. I called her this morning and it went to voicemail. The message I left was I needed the correct emails. We'll see how it plays out.

Yes, I pay per hour so if those three bogus leads were an hour of work she simply wouldn't be paid for that hour.

The marketers simply bill me. I pay hourly because it all comes out in the wash - they might have a bad hour and get 1 lead followed by another hour where they got 4.

In my contract they need to average three leads per hour to continue a contract with me. If they generate 4 or more leads in an hour it's $15/hr.

Just a note: the leads were good. Turns out she forgot to ask for their emails and did indeed just make them up, but she planned on calling back today to get them. I told her in the future if she forgets something just let me know. Everything is fine.
