The Door Knock Life

[rousemark]

Went out for a few hours today.. Called on two of the Lead Jerk Telemarketing Leads.. One, the neighbor walked over as I was standing at the door to see who I was and why I was there. After I told him, he said the lady had dementia and it was pretty bad. Said half the time she didn't even know him and he had been renting from her for 20 years. I decided not to pursue it. The other was a 75 year old retired military guy. Was almost another lay down where he was just waiting for me to come by. Just wanted enough to pay for a cremation. Small cell but is $400+ annual commission. Not bad for half days work.

Now, for my quote of the day. Talked with a lady about a cancer policy. During the discussion I asked about her current insurance. She said she had Medicare Part A and that was all she wanted. Said she didn't want part B and I asked why? She responded, "I don't like doctors and don't go them. My husband went to them and he died"..

I thought lead concepts did a total of 2000 mailers for you? How many total leads did you get ?

1 (one)... They have done a third mailing plus they have refunded my money. Can't be upset over service like that.

They have done a third mailing plus

I sent a mailing out last Tuesday with Mainstreet Powermail. I always get a seed card. My rep confirms the mail went out that day. I have not yet received the seed card. I have USPS informed delivery and it is not showig up for delivery today either. This is my first mailing since before Covid and thus my first mailing of the Louis Dejoy era at the USPS. This guy has no idea how much small business depends upon the smooth functioning of the USPS.

They need to remove the stupid "must fund next 50 years of pension" requirement from the postal service. That is the only thing that was keeping the post office from being profitable.

There is not one other company or organization that is required to do this. Heck, the pols raid the Social Security trust fund on a daily basis, do they not?

Louis, when ordered from Lead Concepts, did you order a seed card? That will be the best way to find out if the mailers are actually getting delivered.

. When I came to the one that mentions schizophrenia, she suddenly shouted, "Shut up! I'll tell him whatever I want to tell him!" Apparently that other person didn't want her to admit to it.

I do not look for this stuff. It just finds me. It's a door knock life ...

I always thought seed card meant they just mailed you a blank card . You mean your on the mailing list and get the actual mailer . What would prevent a company from doing a 700 mailer on a 1000 order and just putting your name on the list ? The only way to 100% know is get copy if the form mail houses get for mailings from the post office. During aep last yr my IMO used Main Street . First mailer I got 8 cards out of a 3 k mailer . I complained and they remailed 2 k . I got zero . They mailed 250 miles away and I got back 22 leads . These are Medicare mailers were min return should be 1.5% . But Main Street was good . Will they mail the hard copy's to you ? I have a 4 k mailer out with need a lead now . I'm using were they mail back in provided envelope. Supposedly due to being more private return rates higher . Being a door knocker I love the colored cards at the door . I'd love to see a combo card of yellow and pink .

So....when they tell me that the name on the lead card died...maybe they really didn't?

How can I overcome that smokescreen objection? Should I ask to see a copy of the death certificate?
