Datalot and Independent Agents

[cjgosnell23]

My office purchased a Datalot service for warm lead transfers and as great as it would be to be put directly on a line with a warm lead, I have a concern. Auto isn't so bad as I find it a lot easier to quote so running through a few different carriers takes a little practice speed wise. Homeowners is a different story, especially when you have 5-6 different carriers to run info through. The point of Datalot from a consumer POV is speed. 5-10 minutes. Maybe I am just a rookie talking but that is a stretch. At least not having a comparative platform handy to just plug in numbers and run in 30 seconds. Has anyone had experience with Datalot and had this situation? I would like to hear ideas on how that was handled effectively.

Hello,
Do you have an update as to how Datalot worked out for you? I also had the same concerns you brought up.
Thanks.

I have a large credit I haven't even used after taking a few calls. They told me few homeowners come up, it's mostly auto.
