Spending money on leads

[DHK]

I didn't 'endorse'. I said I was looking at them.

So why are these people more likely to pick up their phone than the general population on average?

Because:

And yes, these people WILL answer their phones. Think of all the calls we get from doctors and health insurance that aren't in your caller ID. They'll pick up.

I've been going through some medical things and I get quite a few calls that aren't in my Caller ID. I pick up and I listen to verify who they are and what they want. If it's just an appointment confirmation or whatever else it could be. Plus, the older they are, the more used they are to actually picking up the phone when it rings.

Now, that doesn't mean that EVERYBODY will pick up the phone. I just believe they are more prone to picking it up and answering than other age brackets.

I was discussing the age bracket, not the lead source. That's why I put that comment in another paragraph.

OK, that makes sense now. As for me I always answer my phone (unless caller id says spam) as it could be a policy holder needing to add more coverage, agent, etc.

I read it as $1,500... total. Not monthly.

Maybe I misinterpreted?

Think you were probably right, please pardon my insolence. It won't happen again.

I remember when I had a book of business of 5 and I sat (literally) in my walk in closet in a small apartment on a laptop cold calling for hours. The leads were "free" but there was a lot of labor.

The Papa John of Medicare . . .

The Papa John's restaurant was founded in 1984 when "Papa" John Schnatter knocked out a broom closet in the back of his father's tavern, Mick's Lounge, in Jeffersonville, Indiana.[4] He then sold his 1971 Camaro Z28 to purchase US$1,600 worth of used pizza equipment and began selling pizzas to the tavern's customers

I've had my moments on this forum too. Don't worry about it.
