Did Any of You Get an Email from Ira Blatt About Ab Lead Coop?

[Tom Highway]

I don't know if I should give the piece any more publicity, but here's a part of the email:

Now, you can do a mailer at a cost of only $55 per 1,000 pieces mailed. The minimum order is 10,000. The leads generated are Fresh and Exclusive The mailer makes it clear that this is for final expense insurance, and even has a place for prospects to check off a death benefit amount which they seek.

Although there are no guarantees as to how many cards will be returned - we believe that a reasonable expectation would be 2 cards per 1,000 mailed -- or a cost of $27.50 per lead.

Wow! I'm just chomping at the bit to get on board with a great deal like this! WTF??

And I don't remember opting in to get this type of email from them, but it keeps me informed, I guess.

Yeah. He seems like a decent enough dude, but, my goodness, 2 out of 1,000 return? This is pitiful.

I spoke to him about the leads. Perhaps these leads are for those who ..... don;t know alot.. as the result seemed outrageous and not worth the price.. just my opinion.. they can be the best leads on the planet.. remember... the real money to be made is not selling insurance. it is selling the leads.. thats what I am beginning to think.. anyone wanna go into bus for leads bus?

Is it really $55/1000? That's a HELL of a deal, postage is more than that.

The real money in this business is generating your own leads. Lead companies don't make much money unless they're flat out stealing or moving some phenomenal volume.

It is indeed $55 per 1,000, but the rub is that you have to commit to 10, 000, and the expected return is 2 out of 1,000.

So, for $550, you can "expect" 20 leads, at about $27 per lead.

No thanks, brother.

The earlier poster hit it right on the head - learn how to get your own leads and you'll never need to rely on things like this.
