InsureMe allows you to do that. NetQuote does not.

I must say this about VIMO. I don't like them. They also plug companies at the same time they sell the leads to you. I just ran a sample lead last week. Sure, the client gets the names of agents that will call. He also gets a Norvax style quote with a chance to "apply now."

I asked VIMO about this with no response.

but it is buried at the bottom and by the time I call they have not gotten that far yet if at all because 50% are going in spam filers....

Perhaps. But if they input the info at 9:00 p.m. on a Saturday...they'll be checking EHealth.

Your point is valid. But I think I'll hold off on them for now.

Wow. Seven agents, including the dreaded EHealth. Rediculous.

[FONT=&quot]After reviewing some of the comments on this thread about HometownQuotes, I see there are a few things I must address.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Bob – Thank you very much for your kind words. Please give Ambrosha a call. She has something for you. Our Agent Services Department is always here to answer questions or offer suggestions – anything to help agents with their businesses. Thank you for giving us an opportunity help you and for referring others to us. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mr. Peeler – We DO NOT sell consumer data. It’s as simple as that. I don’t know how this could have happened, but I assure you we had no part of it. I am interested to know what name you used when you filled out the bogus information. I don’t think our agents should have to pay for your “dummy quote.”[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Scott (STIBroker) – Yes, we have a relationship with Ehealth. However, I do not see how an online insurance agency (with no outbound calls being made) is a threat to you or any other agent, especially when the consumer is forced to fill out a complete insurance application before he or she receives a quote. As a former agent, I can empathize with the desire to not have a lead going to 100 agents, but this lead only went to two agents. We offered eHealth and there are advertisements that are presented on our Thank You page as well. Please keep in mind that it is my job to look out for the agent AND the consumer. If our company cannot deliver a positive consumer experience, consumers are not going to be as responsive to the agents that received the lead.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]To conclude, I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. I will be offering a special deal to members of the forum.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Until the end of June I will be offering…[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]$100 in free leads.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]No commitment.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]No contract.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]No credit card.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mention promo code *Forum Deal.*[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Give us a shot to prove what Somarco and the other agents we work with already know. If you are not happy with the results, at least you gave us an honest chance and we can part as friends…no questions asked.[/FONT]
