Hey, I am originally from Ogden!! AEP is the best time for internet leads - I most definitely agree. DM takes time to recoup and there are NO guarantees. So I would say the internet wins on this one.
I have done both and unless it is AEP, I would not even bother buying internet leads. $20 to $30 with most these companies is a ripoff. They aren't typically any good all year long, but if you are quick to call folks back and know your available options, you can do well with internet leads. During AEP, I made a great ROI, but every lead that I received was called as soon as it hit my phone.
I do agree that the direct mail can often be like shared leads, but I am sure they send in far less cards over time than the amount of times these lead companies sell their leads.
