Obviously there are loads of lead vendors available to agents wanting to sell FE.
What I want to know, is what type of lead do you like best and why?
For example. I like using direct mail and having a consistent flow of leads coming in every week. Orders are automatic every Friday, Unless I turn it off. This Gives me new fresh leads each week. The other reason I like mailers is because "something" got the prospects attention and they took action. Now I can show up at the house and say "hey, is this your handwriting?" Do you remember filling this out last week?" And it works very well this way. In my opinion.
I am looking forward to hearing what other types of leads agents are using. BTW. GO PATRIOTS!

Judging from your site it seems like you already have this figured out. Care to share your opinions?

Sounds lime a thinly disguised solicitation

I have to disagree. It looks more like the set-up to the solicitation!

Solicitation? For what? What are you talking about? If you dont have anything of value to add, please dont. Is that fair?

For you guys that telemarket leads -- either self-generated or via a 3rd party -- how does working those leads compare to reply cards?

Do you ever cold door-knock a telemarketed lead?

Not counting this thread, reread your last 7 post. and add up the value. Most of these guys do add value. I also got the recruiter/vendor vibe from you. If you are that is cool. There are a lot of you here. Some good guys like Todd and some dipshits. Most of us will wait and see which you are. Add to the forum and it can be a cool place to hang out. I hope that you have a lot of good stuff to add.

Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of knowledge here. Take some, leave some.

LOL. What value have you added since you started your worthless posts??? You obviously aren't brand new since you have a website. Why act like a newb, with a user ID meant to garner hits on your site?

Phil, is it Phil?

Here is what it looks like to us:

A new poster came on here with the URL for a website for their name. The site has a logo that is hard to read, has an "admin" login, and looks like nothing more than a recruiting site. To take that a step further, the contact info for the guy that "has been successful in the Insurance field for approximately 10 years. Although this is not a very long time, he has proven himself to be a great leader in this industry." This e-mail address for this guy is @my3fg.com and my3fg.com looks like a poorly executed and incomplete affiliate site. What I mean by that is even if you ignore the color/layout issues, the sidebar has the following content:

Special Online Deals
Don't miss out on these Internet specials. By shopping online you can save BIG!:

Affiliate Coupon #1

Affiliate Coupon #1

Affiliate Coupon #1

Not a whole pile of credibility adding up here. The guy that has been in the insurance industry for 10 years and is allegedly successful is using an e-mail address from a website that links to TopCreditPicks.com and is an incomplete site with what appears to be no usable content.

At this point it may be hard to believe that I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but this whole situation doesn't pass the smell test. Would you mind clearing up the confusion and explain to us what your trying to accomplish by being on here? My theory is you're trying to use this as a way of recruiting to a half-developed (but interesting) idea, but I really would like to know more.

Again, I seriously mean it when I say I'm not trying to give you a hard time here, so let's hear it.
