As a lead distribution platform serving hundreds of companies in the lead generation industry, boberdoo understands the critical importance of partner integrity. Something we take seriously is helping clients see that their data partners handle leads responsibly and ethically. That's why we want to demonstrate how Assumed can help boberdoo clients protect their businesses and maintain the quality of their lead networks.
In the lead generation business, your reputation depends on the quality of your leads and how your partners handle them. But how can you be certain that your carefully cultivated leads aren't being resold to competitors without your knowledge, contacted excessively, or misused? Traditional vetting methods are time-consuming, difficult to scale and often provide incomplete information. Many boberdoo clients have told us they've struggled with manual testing processes that involve creating burner phone numbers and temporary email addresses, a process that's both inefficient and hard to track.
Assumed Seeds provides a sophisticated yet simple solution that integrates seamlessly with your boberdoo-powered lead distribution system. These Assumed Seeds are artificial consumer contacts with real working email addresses and phone numbers, serving as early warning systems for data misuse.
The process begins with purchasing Assumed Seeds starting at just $1 each and strategically placing them within your lead flows. You can inject seeds directly into your boberdoo campaigns to monitor how partners handle your standard lead distribution, submit seeds through partner forms to test their data collection practice or plant seeds in your CRM or databases to detect unauthorized access or data theft.
Once your seeds are in circulation through the boberdoo platform, you gain unprecedented visibility into how your partners operate. The Assumed dashboard shows you response times, contact frequency, message content quality, and whether leads are being resold or shared without permission. Using Assumed's labeling and allowlist system, you can categorize legitimate communications from expected partners, flag suspicious activity that requires investigation, set up automated alerts for unusual patterns and generate compliance reports for clients and regulators.
One of the best examples of this solution in action comes from Assumed's case study with iRelo, a leading generation company in the auto transport and moving industries, which utilizes boberdoo for lead distribution. Before implementing Assumed, they relied on manual testing with burner phones and temporary emails, which made it difficult to track and organize test results. The time-intensive process limited their testing frequency and made it hard to compile evidence when issues arose.
After implementing Assumed, iRelo achieved a streamlined partner vetting process with centralized monitoring and data collection. They could test partners more frequently and had clear evidence when taking action against non-compliant partners. Most importantly, iRelo was able to identify and act on partners who were double-selling leads, protecting both their business and the consumer experience.
The most effective approach is to start with high-risk partners, such as those who are new to your network, have received complaints, handle high-value lead types or operate in competitive verticals. Establishing a testing routine that includes daily monitoring through your boberdoo system, targeted testing when issues arise and random sampling through the boberdoo matching system ensures comprehensive coverage.
boberdoo clients can leverage the platform's advanced features alongside Assumed Seeds by using ping post campaigns to test partner response and data handling, implementing filters based on seed performance data, and adjusting distribution weights for partners who handle seeds appropriately.
While partner vetting is the primary use case, boberdoo clients using Assumed Seeds often discover additional benefits in process validation, competitive intelligence, and customer experience insights. The system allows you to test your own lead capture forms and processes, validate email marketing flows and opt-out mechanisms, and make sure compliance with TCPA and other regulations is solidified.
You can also monitor industry practices and response times, benchmark your partners against industry standards and identify best practices to share with your network. Perhaps most importantly, you gain a clear understanding of the actual consumer experience, helping you identify partners providing excellent service and address issues before they impact real customers.
If you're a boberdoo client interested in implementing Assumed Seeds for partner vetting, the process is straightforward. Contact the Assumed team to set up your account and understand pricing, work with boberdoo support to plan your seed integration strategy, start small with a few high-priority partners or campaigns, and scale gradually as you build confidence in the system.
The combination of boberdoo's lead distribution platform and Assumed's innovative monitoring technology provides a solution for maintaining partner integrity and protecting your business.
In an industry where trust is everything, you can't afford to assume your partners are handling your leads appropriately. With Assumed Seeds integrated into your boberdoo platform, you can move from assumptions to confidence, protecting your business, your partners, and, most importantly, the consumers who trust you with their information.
