[efo2009]

Somebody at least making a living in FE

1- buying EXCLUSIVELY leads or
2- on pre-set appointments

I'm working both systems and struggling.

Call Robbie Lloyd at 210-410-8413. Tell him Greg Hinton sent you his way.

How many appointments are you going on every week?

Sorry, bad english: I was trying to say :"only buying leads" , without using any other system.

Leads I suppose I'm buying are basically "A" Leads"/ direct mail (less than a month old). 20 weekly.
I know lot of agents are having success with this system but I'm trying to find out about somebody with this kind of success in area of Houston.

And Greg: I'll call Robbie ASAP. Thank You.

Okay, I was about to say if you are purchasing at least 10 "pre-set appointments" and still having a hard time making at least 1k a week then you need to figure out what you are doing wrong.

 

[efo2009]

Many times, pre-set appointments turns in "no show's...

 

[magagent]

If you are buying 10 or more pre set appointments you should still be able to write 2-3 deals a week. Once you have a "no show" are you giving up then or do you hang onto the address and go see them at another time?

You should using a mail house to do the direct mail for you and get fresh leads. You got the card with you to set appointments. We use a mail house and the cost is 360 dollars per thousand. One of my agent sent out 1000 pieces of mail recently and already got 11 cards. The mail house says that she should get about 18 cards. From the 11 she received. she already closed 2 with 1200 AP. She still have more cards to go around. We assume 20% closing rate.
Houston should be no different than other places.

I work my leads or pre-set, and "waiting for decision"(s), "waiting for decision's makers", etc , continuously, revisiting, calling them back,etc. I'm a rookie in Insurance but I've been in outside sales/etc for 15 years. But I think it's true what I have heard in this forum before: key for success in FE is a continued flow of FRESH leads... At least if you're planning to make a living only doing this.
