There have been a few additions to the Quinstreet team that are worth mentioning. As I have stated in the past I think it is important for lead buyers to watch the movement of employees in the lead industry, especially the sales reps. The reps that have been in the industry for a while tend to choose lead providers that have promise and growth potential. With that said, John Challis formally of LeadPoint, Anolio Reyes and Steven Sears formally of LendingTree have joined the team at Quinstreet.
Quinstreet will be opening a sales branch in Charlotte North Carolina, right in LendingTree territory. These three gentlemen bring a wealth of knowledge to Quinstreet and will be great asset in growing the mortgage vertical. Quinstreet currently has a tight grip on the education vertical has one of the top lead generators in that space and now trying to make an impression on the mortgage space.

They have been trying to build and ramp up their mortgage vertical for years. They have already spoken to many of the best in the industry. They are forking out big cash to try and make it work.
They are too late in the game, way too late in the game. They should move on and test new verticals, or at least stick to what they are best at, edu.
Maybe they are feeling pressure from Adchemy
Regardless, waste of time. Company needs to trim down if they want anything to happen.

Pressure from Adchemy??? I am sensing some Adchemy bias here.

Wouldn’t it be all lead sources? I think is the perfect time to come in and try to capture market share. Especially how the market is at the momement.
