Any Feedback on "Reliable Telemarketing" in New York

[GetInsurance]

In New York, you DO NOT have to be registered to telemarket. I know this because I had a call center in NY. They do charge per closed deal. So obviously if you closed the deal, you let them know and they bill you. If you did not close the deal, they contact the customer and verify, and the lead is free. They accept checks which is big to me because they can't charge your card for services you never received. Also, they charge monthly, for the previous month after initial set-up. So you will already have been paid on most of these deals before having to pay for the lead. They set 15-20 appointments per week for you and all are face-to-face meetings. I'm going to try them out and will post my results. I asked for references and got 3 numbers in diff states and all were very happy with their ROI. ( I know it's possible to have fake references ) I sell mainly health, and I was told that I can specify my list to small businesses of 5 or less, in any county I choose, and the appointment will be made at the place of business.

Getinsurance this was the kind of feedback i was looking for. Thank you. Its easy to say they look like this or smell like that etc...but i think as professionals on this forum we owe it to each other to share the true experience we've had. Opinions are great but they are just that..keep us posted.

I spoke with them today, actually. I like the business model, but not crazy about the 750 upfront fee. Seems like I could provide my own data that they could call and just bill me for the 50 bones per closed transaction.

Not going to pull the trigger just yet, I want to see what others here have to say from actually using their service.

I have receive 3 spam emails from them with in a week.

I asked her for some prices and she would not tell me unless I called her. She was too busy to answer an email.

I've added the company to my spam folder.

2112GREG,
She quotes you at 50 per closed sale? What kind of insurance do you sell? I was told 75 for each health sale closed.

 

[2112Greg]

Weird, I was told 50 dollars per closed sale and that fee was waived for the first 30 days. I don't recall any mention of anything that was 75 dollars.

It will be $100 for every annuity sale. If that is the case then why charge the $750 up front.

Texas insurance guy, I understand your frustration. I have spoken to these people 3 times and have received different answers every time.

The 1st person I spoke to said that they would waive the per close deal because of the $750 first month set up fee.

The 2nd person I spoke to told me that they would want proven production before they would do this.

The 3rd person I spoke to told me that they had never heard of waiving the first month "per deal transaction."

In conclusion I would say that if the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing; then stay away. I personally will not be sending any of my business there. I hope this helps..........

 

[2112Greg]

I pretty much have to agree, exec. The 750 is really the deal breaker for me...I would be paying this AND the 50/75/100/whatever per transaction?

Don't think so...

I wonder why there are so many different things being said...not a good sign.

This is the email they sent to me, I took off the contact info. They don't bring up the prices on it and if you email them they won't tell you the prices in an email.

The girl was too busy to answer my question and would only talk to me on the phone. LOL

That is concerning that 3 of their own people have given 3 different responses to their program.

My source tells me the $50 per closed sale is for FE only. Also you guys had mentioned only paying this fee and not wanting to pay the monthly. I have not personally worked with telemarketed final expense leads but i would think it would be tough for them to be profitable only recieving the $50 closing fee right? To get an agent 15 good apointments per week in FE telemarketing that would require how many hours? I would think at least 15-20, maybe its way less but doubt it..what do the hours vs leads generated looked like in this FE market?
