Lets Try This Again - Leads

[blackenedvoodoo]

buying the return reply stamp from the post office, paying about $1 per returned card....

If you did yourself, purchasing a list, presorting 3rd class mail. Better have batches of 200+ per zip code to lower the cost of the mail. Printing cost. stuffing mail...... Can u do that all for $0.42 per lead mailing out a minimum of a 1,000 pieces. NO. First off you need to order pre printed lead cards with return reply at a 10,000 minimum to keep costs down.... you need to invest in a production printer and software to run and print the cards and address envelopes.

It is exhausting just typing all that and it still will cost you more than $0.42/piece.

Good luck.....I'll see you at the Soup Kitchen...

Remember, you are not a lead vendor.....If that is what you want to do, then change careers.... You sell product....FE or Mortgage Protection at SFG....and they have trouble getting you leads....How do you think the cost will be to do it yourself at the big 60-70% contract you are on.....Be Real.

No they dont have trouble.. If you read my post I was trying to see if I could get them cheaper. Also I wanted more control over the lead itself. Llets say 100 leads come in for my area and they have to be split with the other SFG agents in my area. One of which is two uplines ahead of me and he gets to look at the leads before they are sent out. Just wanted more control over the lead process thats alll.

Man, you are in a BAD place. That sounds like the BS that LH agents have to deal with.

What exactly is the reason that you don't take 110-120% contracts, do your own lead drops, get first crack at all your own leads and be money way ahead?

What Newby said. Spent some money to test out lead connections. If you like them, get rid of SFG and get a bigger commission contract. The extra 40-60% commission will more than cover the $5-10 more a lead you paid using lead connections or another vendor.

The www.iliaa.org did a webinar recently talking about the merits of higher commission along with higher costs for leads. If you will send me your contact info BY EMAIL (below) I'll get you a copy.

If you try looking at it on a different spectrum, it will make sense. Instead of saving that extra $4-6 a lead you think you can get by doing it yourself; which you can't because your upline is subsidizing them. That subsidy comes from your lowered commission. You should be looking at the other part of the equation, the commission.

Here's the deal I (and my agents) use: We get our DM leads returned direct to us from the prospect. We have the card a day or two after the prospect filled it out. We currently pay $390/1000 plus $1.25 per lead at the P.O. We use whatever lead copy we choose. The DM vender sells us the list for $25.


You should go indy, as suggested by others.
