Re: BestInsLeads.Com             Go to Top

I used their health leads a few years back. Some of the worst, and most expensive leads, I have ever used.

It may be different now, may also be different for life leads.

Frankly, I have a problem with anyone who includes closing ratio's as part of their pitch. It makes me suspect.

Re: BestInsLeads.Com             Go to Top

Bob,

Thank you for your honest opinion, and we are very sorry that our leads did not work for you.

Our leads are not bombarded with phone calls, however, depending on the economic situations of the areas, time of the year, even that does not help much. We do have a lot of happy agents in our network who have been with us for years. It could be they have areas with better financial conditions.

We did an analysis why you might have such a bad experience in the April of 2007. We could not send you leads from the Atlanta because there were other agents.

We wish you all the best.

I guess nobody buys insurance in "the southern GA".

Valdosta anyone?

Re: BestInsLeads.Com             Go to Top

April of 2007
Actually, April, May, June 2007.

No filters. No money. For $13 or so per lead had higher expectations especially since I was paying $8 for FILTERED leads at the time.

No Paul, no one left in Valdosta to buy insurance. I have already written the insurable ones . . .

Shared leads are the worst. Especially when companies sell them to 4,000 agents at a time.

I used NetQuote. They were good at first - then all down hill.

WOW, I got 4 phone calls from a lady that didnt' speak Enlish within 30 mins trying to talk me into using these crappy leads. Each time I asked to be removed, and she would call right back again. I even went and look at the website and they charge way too much for crappy leads on top of a setup fee. LOL

Has anyone ever heard of them or anything?

How could they call themselves "Best" if they weren't the best?

Re: BestInsLeads.Com             Go to Top

I pay about 3 cents a lead
$0.03 per lead or per name?

I assume you understand the difference.

Re: BestInsLeads.Com             Go to Top

Mark,

There are a few agents here in the forum who have been using us 3-4years with good results. You have never used our lead. Calling us 'crappy' without using us is not very professional. $22 for exclusive real-time search engine driven life lead is not too much. Also we are waiving the $29 setup fee.

Our leads are not bombarded with phone calls. We treat our leads with respect, and they reciprocate the same on the phone.

Regards,

Monti Ray

Monti

It's always nice to see a lead owner post and contribute in the Forum.

Can you provide the following information about your individual health insurance leads?

Do you EVER use affiliates?
Do you EVER use incentivized websites to gather prospects?
What are your top three landing pages?
What are your top five search terms that you rank highest for?
Do you ever buy or sell leads to any other lead carrier? If so...whom and what percentage of your leads are bought or sold?

Thanks for your time. It is appreciated.

Re: BestInsLeads.Com             Go to Top

Isn't bestinsleads.com also quickhealthinsurance.com?

I see you buy PPC on brokersweb. For health insurance in GA your bid of $2 puts you at #11 on the list.

"Quick free custom quotes" is better than "free iPod" but #11 on the list means folks have probably already clicked a bunch of sites and received tons of phone calls before they ever click your link.

Perhaps you rank higher on other PPC sites and will be willing to share that info.

Re: BestInsLeads.Com             Go to Top

I tried them for life insurance leads about 2 months ago. They were exclusive with best because I was their only buyer in several states. The leads were telephone verified by people who could barely speak English.

I know this will surprise people, but the leads sucked. Even though they were verified, the telemarketers were hard to understand and would not listen to the prospects' answers. Just reading from a script.

However, when I asked to cancel and receive a refund of unused money, it was taken care of immediately.

They did tell me that life leads was a new venture for them so maybe they are better with health.

That sounds encouraging. What is the name of your agency and can you post your website?

Thanks.

SO the guy that on his 1st post says the leads are good. Does anyone that has been on the forum for a while, say the leads are good?

This company drove me crazy.

GreenSky / Rick

You must be thinking us as some one else.
You did try our health leads (not Life leads) for a month or so. We recently started to generate the life leads, and we do not do any such verification you are describing. They are real-time search engine driven leads not bombarded by phone calls.
