Millenial Liberator- Really?

Dang 34 bucks for a tv lead that you have to call back is steep! I still don't understand why it just can't ring them directly?

$34 is above what an agent can get on the open market and get ringed to directly.

Also Greg, on another thread you said you were running appointments? Do you do both?

Yes. Mostly field in the summer, mostly tele-sales in the winter. I also LOVE IT when we get half an inch of snow in the southeast as everyone is home, and I can really speed up the process of working leads....which makes more profit per hour. I don't miss out on the people who are never home under normal conditions.

I don't have to order TV leads, they're there if I want them. Remember these are not the watered down TV leads that mention back braces, knee braces, wheel chairs, diabetic shoes, etc. that others have promoted. These leads talk directly about funeral expenses.

SL has had live transfers before and may be bringing them back. Something about them being in 40 states, and since they run nationwide, they have to throw leads away from the other 10 states? I don't know.

Greg, are you an RVP with SL?

TV leads can be generated less then 34 dollars without mentioning neck braces and stuff like that.

I did hear at one time senior life had direct transfers but never got information on closing ratios etc.

You have any input on that? Meaning agent buying 10 leads a day home many did he or she close?

How would I know that? Gifford left about 3 years ago. Herrera left about the same time. Herrera is on good terms with SL. I think SL may be one of his carriers. I like both guys and they would say the same about me.

SL hasn't had anyone of decent size to leave in the last 3 years. SL is probably at least double the volume of premium issued now compared to then. They've picked up some huge groups from LH. One group was up to $200k per week and another group does $100k+ per week. There's others but I don't the actual numbers.

This is a strange question to be asking me. Why would you even care? Why don't you just ask those 2 fine gentlemen if you truly want to know. Why do you say "a lot"? Are you trying to stir the pot with me....lol? Start stirring baby and I'll drown you.

Don't have any data on it. I did hear closing % rose some, but the biggest thing was you eliminated dialing and dialing before you made contact with the lead. And you never had a lead that you could never catch up with. That's huge to me.

You asked me a question now let me ask you a question. Why does most everyone up here accuse you of being a thief in times past?
