I've actually spoke with him since then
And I started to get leads,Not to many so far as they are coming in a little slow (which is ok for me as it is a mix among other advertising I do)
The guy I talked to at SNL does not recommend doing TM for final expense. He didn't give me exact reason. He also goes straight to the door with DM leads. I tried that with very little sucess. Maybe just me, but hardly anybody opens the door.
My issue with TM is that you pay up front, and there is no end time that they must get you the leads. Seems like their should be a cut off date otherwise you are left waiting and they can take as long as they need.
I haven't used TM in years, but that was what I saw a "catch" to it.
With DM you know it is going to be about 3 weeks and that is it. I know more can come in, but it is predictably slow.
With TM it depends on workflow, priority, employee turnover, etc., all things that vary.
With FE I noticed many DM responders never answer the phone, have no phone number. Therefore door knocing is your only chance. I would only want to door knock if it seemed efficient use of time.
So that brings me back to TM. At least they can and did answer a phone at one time. If I have 1 lead 10 miles away, I would rather have it be TM as I feel I would have a better chance at calling them for an appointment, as I won't drive that far to knock on just a few doors. Usually it comes down to that with leads, IMO.
