Is Anyone an Agent with Insure.com ?

Does anyone here have experience as an agent for insure.com?

I've read their contract; beginning month 4 they require a 15% paid policy closure rate to keep the 45/mo free leads flowing. Has anyone here been with them that long?

Thanks in advance,

I found that their leads were terrible. Supposedly they were confirmed by their telemarketing department but I found this not to be true. My experience was that at least 50% and higher of the leads didn't even ask for us to contact them. And the other where remotely interested in receiving a quote. Hope this helps.

I investigated the program and declined to go ahead based on the following:

They require a $500 deposit before working their leads, AND they pay you only 70% commission, AND these are their customers so you can't work them down the road, unless you put the business through them.

A 15% closure rate seemss to be a stretch for internet leads. I'd always be suspicious that they were filtering the leads they sent.

I could stomach putting down the $500, but not when they can knock me out for a sub 15% closure rate, or vice versa.

What did entice me was that you could use their quoting/application/processing system. Never got into it, but assumed that it was pretty slick. Get a sig, turn it over and move on.

I would also assume that they probably have more leads then their call center can handle. Hence, they are going outside. Too bad they take this one-sided approach.

I agree with you about the Insureme.com leads.

You may want to inquire about leads available through Efinancial.com or Insure.com

Their leads may generate better conversion rates than Insureme.com

That actually happened to me... I don't receive their free leads anymore which I really don't care but the one nice thing is I can input my own leads into their web-based system and still be competitive on term.

They've contacted me a few times... Seems like a rip-off to me.
