Exclusive Telemarketed Leads

[Insurance Man]

Leads

Hey agents,

I want your opinion on a lead topic. I have been using a lead source for a while now. They are exclusive telemarketed leads to small business owners. They call using your name and qualify them on all aspects of health. They give you the name of the company they currently have and also how much they are paying per month most of the time.

This is my question, I have, like you, through my 16 years of health insurance, used many types of lead sources. I never really cared for internet leads but have spent thousands on them also. The company I have been using has never been public, but I am looking at taking them public online with a website and everything. This company is not a fly by night company, they have been doing this for 10 years. My questions is before spending the money on everything, I want to get your opinions first. They will be $22 a piece and will only be one or two days old. They are never group, only small business owners. Of course they are still leads. You need to get out and sell them. I close typically 4 out of 10 but everyone is different. Please I really want to know your ideas. Thanks in advance.

I am confused. Why do they need you to go public? Are you a web designer and an SEO guru?

If you are asking what we think about the leads, and you close 4 of 10, I'd buy 40 a week and call it a day. Let them get their own web designer while you deposit your large commission checks.

well this company sells mainly to large companies, they just are not selling to individuals. I really am getting tired of going out and selling all the time and would like to invest a little money and sell to the individual agents that is why I posted this.

Well I guess this is not the forum that I thought. I just found this site and thought it would be a good place to post and get some ideas. The 4 out of 10 was not even the reason for the post. Why is that hard to do if you spend the money on exclusive leads?

If their leads are as good as you say, and you can close 40%, there's absolutely no reason to change gears and move to the lead marketing/selling business.

don't usually co-sign on a negative comment. But I gotta agree. This ...

A direct mailing lead company I used in 2006 experimented with telemarketing leads. The ones I bought from them were good if called back immediately. But they had the shelf life of a fruit fly if left over a couple days and would not even remember ever talking to anyone on the phone about insurance.

LOL I'm stealing your pic to use on my friends.

I've never seen a lead source that will close 4 out of 10. And, that involves many thousands of dollars of research.

You're being met by some skepticism b/c you are the lucky 1 millionth person who has a great opportunity to sell other agents leads. Almost no one that starts out that way on the forum pans out to a good experience for those who sign up.

If you really close 4 out of 10 on this lead source, I'd say forget selling them to anyone. Hire agents to help and go to town! There's no way I'd let someone get their hands on something that valuable.

You just opened a sale. If you shut down to objections as easily as you just did on this board, I really doubt you are closing 4 out of 10 prospects of any sort.

Keep trying and some people will work with you, they'll let everyone here know if it is a thumbs up or down.

I would be delighted to try 25 leads for free. I should close 10. If 5 close, I'll recommend the hell out of the service.
