I cancelled my NetQuote account last month. I used to spend about $1200 per month with them and lately it had dropped to about $200. Lead quality was questionable and their credit policy had deteriorated.
They were no longer a part of my marketing system.
Whoops! At about 2:00 EST this afternoon, I noticed three leads came in within 10 minutes of each other. Frantically, like Mark McGuire on steroids (I had to try to fit that barb in somehow), I paused my account. I guess I had only frozen my account for three weeks, and not completely suspended it.
OK. I have three leads now...all within 15 minutes of my office. Pretty odd that three come in so quickly. So I called the first one. Male 40. He answered the phone. I told him who I was and that I was located five minutes for him.
He lectured me a bit on how many calls and emails he had received. He also said my information was wrong and that he was married and needed his wife covered. But wait! He was interested. In fact...he wanted catastrophic coverage and said he would choose between the UHC and Anthem plans.
Say What?
AND...he wanted 150k of 10-year level term on each of them. He advised me to email the particulars and he would call me Friday. Omigosh!
Should I re-activate my NetQuote account? Whats going on here?
The next lead was also home! What? She said to email the rates. The third lead was bogus. Oh. Hmmm. Not a bad ROI here...assuming I get an app from the first person. Have I been wrong about Netquote?
Ah yes....then I remembered what I have said so many times on this Forum. "With Netquote...you will receive some of the best leads you ever bought...and some of the worst leads you ever bought." So true.
They still oversell their leads and use affiliates so I'll probably leave the account frozen, while I'm ahead.
