I know this is something that has been gone over and over again on this site but I havent found anything on here really comparing these companies all at one time. So if you have used any of them please explain your results and if you have used them all list them from best to worst.

thanks,

I believe there is a thread titled "2008 Lead Company Review" or something like that. Most of the companies you mentioned were reviewed in that thread.

 

[agent C]

I saw that thread but, I thought that seemed to be geared toward health insurance leads instead of P&C leads and I thought the companies might differ depending on what types of leads you were looking for.

 

[CHUMPS FROM OXFORD]

Yes, you're right. I'm not sure if there are any good P&C lead review threads posted.

If I were offering unbiased advice I would tell you to pick a couple of them and try them out. Not all lead companies are created equally and not all lead companies can provide everything to everyone. A couple pieces of advice. 1. Dont pay more than $100 (maybe $200) to try a company out. 2. Make sure that you arent going to be locked in to any long term agreements. 3. Ask for some help...we give $50-$100 in free leads just for giving us a shot. Most other companies will do something similiar.

I dont think you have anything to worry about with the companies you have listed but if you went outside of these there are some that will try to charge you several thousand dollars to start and will never send you a lead...uggh.

Dont know if that helps or not but before I sold my agencies I bought from more than one of the companies on your list. If you can handle the volume buying from more than one source is never a bad idea. Good luck!
