Call-based business reselling rewards endurance, alignment, and capital discipline rather than superficial efficiency. ROAS alone cannot capture profitability when revenue is delayed, reversible, and conditional, while costs are immediate and fixed. Operators who design for governance, reconciliation, and revenue density give themselves a chance to survive long enough for optimization to matter.

Reselling businesses are among the most active adopters of paid acquisition and, at the same time, among the most frequently disappointed by it. Telecom resellers, energy brokers, lead aggregators, comparison platforms, dropshipping operations, and white-label service providers are drawn to Google Ads because it promises proximity to intent, predictability of demand, and the appearance of scalable volume. On paper, the channel seems purpose-built for these models.
