Anyone know anything about this place? I have contact with a IMO who deals in life leads from them and pays ok (70%) commisions. Wonder if they only send leads after their in-house call center gets the cherries?

Reason: spelling
I use insurme for medsupp leads and have had great success with them. My company buys there life leads and I have not had as much experience with their life leads. I have heard mixed emotions on the life.
I do know that insureme is pretty good about not farming out leads like netquote and some of the other scam lead companies out there.
Insure.com has people apply for an instant quote, and at the bottom of the screen happens to mention someone may call.
You'll pay for a lot of tire kickers who didn't know they would be getting phone calls. Not bad if the leads are cheap enough, but usually a waste of time and money.
As for insureme, they run about the same as netquote overall. Not necessarily the same months, so you can go back and forth, but they still have some great leads and then a lot of garbage.
I have had a 65% closing ratio with the Insureme leads. Plus, the ones I do close with medsupps, I get referrals and additional policies placed in the household. This makes up for those I throw out.

I have to admit, that is beyond amazing. I can't even get hold of 65% of the leads I receive, much less close them.
It does illustrate that timing, location, and veracity can make a huge difference in lead quality.
65% would be impressive within my immediate family, not to mention from a lead source.

The imo says if you join them they give you exclusive leads because you are the agent... did anybody do this yet? did the original poster do this agent sign up thing? how did it go?
I guess the original poster got out of the biz. As far as insure.com, I interviewed with them a couple years back. Their main office is in a strip mall rented office setting in Darien , Ilinois, southwest of downtown Chicago. It's an IMO that contracts newby's to the biz and pays them $20 per hour to sit on the phone all day and try to sell life insurance from leads they generate. They have ads all over Money, Forbes, and other investment magazines as well as printads. Lots of tire kickers I'm sure. The main owner obviously gets a bigger piece of the pie. They are a churn and burn company, and since you are an "employee" you are salaried and not commissioned, even though you need to be licensed in all states they sell. Once these people start to find out more about how the business operates and how they can make better money on their own, they leave and the cycle starts again.

Yes, but they also contract independent agents at 70% commission and provide free leads. Depending on lead quality, 70% might not be a good deal.
Has anyone tried them before? The thread keeps getting confused between insureme and insure.com. It is supposed to be insure.com.
