Leads

[mciot25]

I am a newb to this whole FE just wondering, for those of you when you started out. I am a guy starting out with limited resources and do not want to waste time on the wrong leads. What was the key to get the ball moving for you all in PA especially greater Philadelphia area?

-What lead sources
-Time of days to call, etc.

If you could get your hands on stale leads...three four month old...you can make a good start and then ask for referrals at every sit down.

Direct mail is the way to go. Just make sure the lead piece says insurance on it.

I somewhat disagree what the word life insurance
Means. It still says "state regulated life insurance".unfortunately when you do a fixed price lead there's no income parameters thus many of the cards are mailed back by low income people who only see state regulated and think it's free.if you just did a mail out to $15k-$50k your response rate would be much lower.i'd rather mail a e64 lead to 15-60k and get a 2% return and yes more deceiving but a much more qualified client

I agree and disagree. For a new agent I think it's important that the lead say smething about life insurance on it.

For me now I prefer that it not say life insurance.

The OP needs t hook up with good training IMO and then pose those questions to them.

Unfortunately in some places like where I live/work, the returns are only 1%

Thankfully, the fixed cost lead that I use does allow me to adjust the data/age/income...etc...

I guess it depends were your located.The op wants to mail near a big city. I assure with no income parameters he'll get 50-75% responses from dead broke project areas. I've run dm's near
Big city's with life insurance in it and most have no idea why they even mailed the card in much less if it says life insurance.

Agent 5 are you sure 360's fixed cost leads allow you to mail to incomes like 15-50k?I know you can exclude zip codes.

Why do you now prefer it to not say life insurance on the card?

I am buying my first lead drop in more than 20 years and Chris said to expect about 1%, buying 20 Thad leads in the same area. I wrote 1 FE case last month so I am ready to run.
