New Agent

Nobody's attacking you we're giving you practical honest questions and advice.

Equis has a great lead program you need to get with your up line and find out how to purchase some a leads.

and, honestly any lead is fine if you put in the proper amount of effort and activity. typically people start complaining about leads when they aren't working hard enough.

I understand that and I agree with you that you have to put in enough time and effort. I called about 30-40 leads, granted they were 30-60 days old but none of them answered positively, they just ignored or hung up the phone. I also texted them and no response, what more should I do than that? Do you think it will be better if I purchase fresh new leads, they are also very expensive though?As you can see, I am ready to put in the hard work but at some point, you do feel disappointed a little when despite hard work, nothing comes out of it.

You only bought a weeks worth of leads in a 30 Days. That's part of the problem.

did you go out dood knock these leads?

80% of the people are on the Do Not Call list. Most people screen their calls, and if they don't know you, won't answer. I rarely buy leads, but know that $7 is a cheap lead.

Like Baseball7 is getting at, you have to door knock the leads.

Aged leads are tough. If they are reselling leads you are buying leads that 10 others agents have already tried and failed and the prospect is sick of everyone calling him. They are also illegal to call if they are on the DNC list and the lead is over 90-days old.

New direct mail that you are the first and only agent calling is your best lead. Very expensive to learn on though since you are not getting any training on how to do this from successful agents. You are also on reduced commissions at that IMO so the money you could buy direct mail with is going to your upline(s) instead of you.

look over the info at the FexContracting website. If it opens your eyes and you would like to talk to me, reach out. At a minimum I will give you access to a source for brand new internet generated leads at $7 per lead.

Hello,

i just looked over the website and am interested in reaching out. How can I reach you? Is that the number listed on the quick reference table the number to call? Thanks.

How's your soft skills? Language pretty strong?

When I started off, I didn't have a ton of money to spend on leads. I put together a list of all the small businesses in the surrounding counties, and cold called them. Sometimes up to 300-400 / day. I hear a lot about how cold calling is dead, but I disagree. If you're in a similar situation as I was, maybe try other avenues. Good luck.
