Shading the truth....what an off the wall statement. I have no ownership interest in this marketing program or any other. I am a producer that appreciates the forum as a resource to gather information to help make an informed decision. Unless someone is trying to protect some program they are promoting why would someone on an open forum like this that is meant to give and share knowledge want to shade the truth? Perhaps people that do shade the truth and/or make comments like what you just made are in reality doing it to skew the opinions of producers in their favor because in fact they themselves are not a producer but a seller of a lead program trying to protect its standing in the eyes of producers. If a lead promoter is posting comments as if they are a producer themselves to protect their own interest is doing an unethical disservice to the real producers that are on this forum seeking the truth and/or giving an accurate accessment of a given lead program based upon their personal experience.

This forum wouldn't work if every time someone posted something everyone just said "call me". A lot of the value in the forum is that folks can read through entire discussions whenever they'd like. If you genuinely wanted to help share information I'm sure you could write something simple that would be less than 1,000 words. "It's a great program for new agents" or "I wouldn't recommend it to new agents" or whatever the angle is.
I was interested in their pitch and it sounded like if you bought REALLY expensive leads and knew the sales pitch you could make some money, but the whole thing does seem a bit confusing.
Interesting comments. I did take a few calls but am really to busy to take more. In the near future I will post a thorough analysis. Short and brief would suffice but a longer analysis in a larger context will be of more value to people on the forum. I have no fear of retribution if the review is negative nor expect favorable treatment if the review is positive. I will say there is potential money to be made in almost any lead program.
Questioning someone's truthfullness is not appropiate. I understand that on the anonymous internet people will say things that they would not say to someone in person but it is best to treat people on the internet as you would if in person. But I will cut you some slack.....you might have thought I was the seller of the leads.

To answer you question directly. I tried it for two months. It didn't work for me. Why? Maybe because I'm not good at phone sales. Maybe because big cases need to be done face to face, maybe the leads aren't as quality as they say. Would I do it if I was someone else? Honestly, no. Why? Because you can pay the same amount of money and market for yourself and get the same if not better results. I say that because I have do exactly that. I do my own marketing and don't need their leads or product. They only promote Minnisota Life which I don't like using. That might be a factor also.
They might be a fit for a very minimal amount of producers, but not the majority.

My company has been using the program for 3 months now, and I can attest to the fact that the leads are not quality leads. I am the admin that does all the follow up. If you think about: Someone hears an ad on the radio. They hear "Free Book", "Tax Free Retirement Income" and say "Sign me up"? 99 times out of 100, they just want the book, find it informative and then find someone local to talk to about it. We are in So Cal, and most of our leads have been out of state. I wish the owner of my company had done more research, because it's a lot of money for no return so far.
That's what I figured but it's hard to resist their webinars and constant emails. I read the book and it's not even very good. There is no substitute for the hard work of doing prospecting the old fashioned way. There is no magic bullet.
