I would trust only the mail drop service.
Appointment setter is an easy scam. Web companies got their leads by offering booklet, which may work for some but most of the leads are interested in the booklet instead of doing business.

With what's going on with the market, we all want to see more and sell more annuities. Cold calling sucks for this I agree. Pm me and I would be glad to provide some information as to the direct mail we have had great success with.

Re: Annuity Leads/Appointment Setters             Go to Top

Annuity Appointment Setting is very tricky but it is an effective way to sell annuity. I think it will just depend on how the appointment setter handles the lead and the kind of script that he or she will use. The appointment setter should be well trained and knowledgeable of the product just in case there are questions that may be asked.

I did get an e-mail from Mike, but I'm a captive Mass agent & the program is for carriers we don't have on our shelf. I am trying to find a good annuity lead program, but I haven't come up with anything so far. I'm actually in Virginia, not sure why my logo is AL.

I can get up with any carriers as I am not a captive agent.

Thanks!

Re: Annuity Leads/Appointment Setters             Go to Top

Does any one know anything about datamedcorp.net??? I purchased their annuity appointments 2 months ago and got one appointment, the client received a structured settlement for 1.5 million and might end up doing it. My question is ...is this how long it usually takes to realistically get an confirmed appointment with this company? I called 10 referances before i signed but on some other insurance forums all the feedback seems the same ..agents make a lot of money with their appointments but it could take several months...any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Annuity Leads/Appointment Setters             Go to Top

Been using them for a year and wrote 2 million in premium, they are very good but they are not the LEAD CHAMPION, meaning they wont give you a bunch of worthless final expense appointments in a week hoping you close one or two, when you get one from datamed its a sure sale, trust me. I thought i got ripped with them too when i first signed, they just take time but its really worth it. Take it from a guys whos been scammed by all of them...annuity gold mine, insurance marketing services, survey resource center, excell, premiere.....all of these are ripp off....datamedcorp.net is good if you are patient.

Also keep reading alot of post on this board, some of the agents here are real experts and you can learn a lot from them

Has anyone used Advisor world? They claim to have a more thorough screening process however leads are much more $ may be worth it but wanted to see if anyone here has used before I pull the trigger.

Thanks, Mike

Used them too, didnt work out at all.....id rather buy insuranceleads.com ...datamedcorp.net is probably the best one although you have to be patient with them.
