Net Quote leads

[machmezie]

I wouldn't trust that company worth a lick... spent 250 and couldn't make my money back but I wasn't worried about it I knew I would burn through some cash to see the bad roots in the lead business but I have really good ones now that I make crazy return on them

Back when I was captive almost a couple of years ago, the douchebag company that I was with (cannot mention it out of shame!) announced they were bringing NQ leads and was all excited.

They were no better or worse than the crappy leads they were giving us already.

The longer I'm in this business, the more it becomes obvious that shared leads aren't worth the time or money. The only way to go is to either hire telemarketers to generate them or pay out the ass per lead for a service that does this. Or of course, you can make cold call all day, but that's a recipe for burnout (don't ask me how I know this!).

I would not recommend them I signed up with them with the understanding that they would give me 15 free leads the first month to see how I liked it. After the first month I called and told them that I only wanted 2 the next month due to the poor quality. Well a week later they are billing me $165 dollars. They said that the first month they sent me 25 leads, so I had to pay for the 10 extra. Well I was gone alot and didn't know they gave me 25 leads, so you have to be very careful The guy on the phone talks very fast and it can be very misleading so read everything and ask lot of question or the will get you. I wouldn'tmind paying but I got alot of bad leads, no office phones or cells to get ahold of people, alot of wrong nuimbers, fax lines and the like. I don't have time to babsit these companies.

Keeping a watchful over leads received is a must. There is nothing about using internet leads that is a no-brainer.

Most, not all, but most of the lead cos are snake oil salesman... and you must look for the loopholes in their statements and representations. As to the bad numbers you got with those extra 10 leads... did you submit for a credit...? At least they should have replaced the leads...

Speaking of lead companies... it is interesting to apply with whichever companies you consider using and see what you competition is doing.... how they respond, if they respond... This in itself can be a confidence booster, if you are a half decent sales person... cause the competition ain't... for the most part.

There are leads.

And there are affiliate leads.

Those are affiliate leads.

If that is what you enjoy working non user initiated leads that go to 7 to 10 agents, enjoy.

Remember it is all about ROI in the long haul, if it works for you go for it.

And then there are incentivized leads.... and they make the affiliate leads look good!

Does anyone use NetQuote for leads and if so, what kind of luck have you had.
