With direct mail you can't just drop 1,000 and expect to produce enough to live on for the month and enough to drop another 1,000. There's no magic in FE. You're not going to be able to buy your way to a comfortable income. It takes brass balls. That along with folks to talk to. I just dropped 5,000. I got eleven back yesterday. I should be good with 1.5%. I use a good mailer and filter my data with our own mailhouse.
Why would it cost $500/1000? What type of card is it? Are you mailing it first class?FYI- I'll be offering direct mail within the next two weeks. It won't be super cheap (~$500/1k), but it will include highly targeted data and verifiable proof the mail has been dropped. I'm not sure if this is something anyone is interested in and I won't be the least bit bothered if no one feels like ordering, but it at least will be an option if you want to be positive it got dropped.
If you saw the piece before it was sent, you liked it and they actually sent out 1,000 then I don't see how it could be their fault.
However, that response is extremely low even for direct mail. My first question would be whether or not they sent all of them out and my second question is how old is the list they used?
If they really did send out all 1,000 then their list may not have been updated since the turn of the century.
Direct mail sucks, it's a crap shoot, at least for Med Supps. That's why I generate my own.
Doing it myself I can sell over 90% of my self generated leads. My leads are "real" leads, they are qualified people who are ready to buy. All they cost me is a little of my time, something most agents have an overabundance of.
Thats right... 1000 mailers and I get back 2 cards, mail went out April 7th...
Thanks Leads2Success/Monumental... You guys are awesome!
Whatever you do, do it consistently. I talk to quite a few agents that do one mailing and if they don't get 15 leads from the first drop, direct mail sucks. Some drops will be better than others.
