Learning to Prospect is Important

I found a dialer I like too, called Callfire. Its 3 dollars an hour, no setup fee at all. AgencyIQ can export filtered lists as a excel sheet, you can copy the excel sheet directly into their 3 dollar an hour dialer 2 lines at once with a automatic answering machine message drop and it can spoof any number you want for the caller ID, and call your old leads for cheap. I worked through 34 today in 40 minutes and I was on the phone with one of them for around 20. If you figure up the cost there, I do that like 8 times a month for the leads I haven't contacted on first attempts, so my dialer is costing me about 16 dollars a month. I think it is a voip based line though, I had some lag using it, but not as bad as my vonage line so it was bearable. I think people are getting somewhat used to that now, but I still don't like that it gives my voice a less authoritative tone.

you are the third person in this forum, in the last 30 days that likes callfire, been several years since i tested it. guess i will try it out this weekend. do they still have the 'barge in ' feature?

I dont remember seeing a feature called barge in, they had transfers and things like that, but not sure what that refers to.

i am looking at it now, the web site and the interface have changed quite a bit. the 'barge in' would let a sales manager/trainer listen in to the call. they could hear both parties. this was done from another line. but, at that time, there was only one line per seat. one on one. the tech support said they don't even think about multi-line, power, predictive, until 18 seats are being used. i also seem to have lost my 100-dollar-something credit. damn.

I am currently using Callfire and they do have the barge in feature. It is really nice to be able to monitor agents with. I also use a instant messenger to chat with the agent while they are calling.

I was cleaning out my desk about 3 weeks ago, and I found about 15 final expense/ life insurance leads that happend to be over a year old. So after looking over these leads and the notes I made about them. Several people said they couldn't afford anything. I saw on one of the notes that one couple told me the "Guverment" would take care of them and they didn't need no stinkin insurance..

So, to make a long story short I door knocked all of these leads and turned in about 3400 in premium. So I also will take all of your old "unsellable" leads.

Wow! Sounds like a great market in working old stale "B" leads.

You need someway to keep track of those kind of people so you can access them easily and quickly.

Where on earth could we find something to help with this chore?

I'll begin searching the internet for you and let you know as soon as I find something that looks promising.
