Weekend Lead Generation / Sales Testing . . .

[rousemark]

And I'm completely serious. myinsurebiz got out there and did something. That is fantastic because we seem overrun with people suffering paralysis by analysis lately. I just don't get the goal here, it seems so inefficient, just cut out one of the steps and it would be so much more profitable.

And sometimes you have guys (me)sitting here at 11:00AM posting on the forum when we should be trying something more productive...

Yes, I believe that went completely over someone else's head. I won't say I love myinsurebiz's idea, I love the fact he took action.

It seems most ideas that are "good"ideas were "stupid" ideas when they were first tried. I still remember the comments that were made by the experts when agents started depending on Direct Mail for leads..

Stone tablets. I hear Rick and Louis attended insurance class together, sadly the instructor dropped the one the tablets...

The man is talking about recruiting and doing business with people living in a housing project.


Thats enough nonsense. The man is talking about seeking out people who live in housing projects to do business with. You say "Fantastic" well guess again. That is the most stupid idiotic idea in the world. Nobody aspires to work with people in the projects. Nobody in their right mind I should say.

Dude! You're drooling on your keyboard!

I agree that better prospects are available than most in the projects.
But seniors living in projects are not usually what you're picturing. They're poor people, but not poor clients. No, don't sell FE to the single mom in her 20's. But the lady in her 60's on SS who lives next door will often be a great client.

Best idea, though, is just leave the projects to us debit guys!

So you're plan is to door knock to develop leads and sell them for $50 a pop?

Didn't you make more money off the sales then you would have selling all the leads???

Or am I missing something?

If I remember correctly from a thread where he first floated the idea, the plan was to eventually pay somebody to canvass, then the licensed agent calls the leads. And I commend him for trying to find a way to solve the problem of dwindling supply and increasing over-saturation of other lead sources. But that price point is gonna have to come down to make it viable.

I think if he simply taught agents to canvass and sell on the spot it would be more viable. But to pay someone to canvass and then try to have agents sell the leads, I just don't see how to make the numbers work. Once you introduce people who aren't as invested in it, the results will fall off.
