delfinparis · 04-09-2007, 05:17 PM

Just got a call from a woman who needs insurance:

Non Smoker
Currently Insured
Hawaii

Also needs insurance for her 2.5 year old daughter.

First one to email me gets it!

I just spoke to her and she wants to talk to an agent ASAP!

Just noticed this on a DIFFERENT site: http://www.americaninsurancebroker.com/index.php

Looks like a Norvax guy looking for some clients. I tried a short test run of Norvax and did not like it. The leads were HORRIBLE. They resell EXCLUSIVE leads within a few days from when you get them.

When you consider the fact that the lead has not been taken on either site, I think it makes sense to cross post it. In any case, it is still nice of him to offer free leads here. He said before that these are not prospectzone leads, but people who mistakenly looked at the norvax site for insurance, and he also calls them to qualify...seems like a pretty good deal to me.

OK. I'll reluctantly agree that he isn't trying anything fishy.

But...their leads still smell and I am still disgusted that they sold an EXCLUSIVE lead to other vendors after a few days. Don't by Prospect Zone leads (in my opinion).

You'll have to clarify that. To me when a lead is exclusive that means it only goes to you. Do you have language in your contract that states it only goes to you for "X" amount of days?

Since I don't use them any more, I don't have a copy of the contract. I guess I assumed that they would not sell it for at least a month or longer.

The few exclusive leads I buy from InsureMe have a 60 day "exclusive period." I had hoped that ProspectZone would match that.

Generate your own leads. Then they're exclusive.

That's what I have been doing. But InsureMe and NetQuote still are very profitable. I have learned what agents and agencies buy the leads that I use. That's worth its weight in gold...especially since most are out of town.

That's the beauty of our business. Some things work for everyone. And other things work for some of us. The key, as many people (including yourself) have pointed out, is to find what works and hammer away.

I so agree. As mentioned in a prior POST. I love the yellow pages! A ton of "free" leads. If selling to companies.. I just PICK A HEADING...

remember the good ol' days when you had to generate your own leads;before the internet, people actually PROSPECTED!!!

I got off the ground and stayed off the ground my 1st two years in this business mainly by cold call business to business. Zero expense (minus gas) and fantastic return.

Anne · 04-17-2007, 04:16 PM

I know this is going to sound strange. But I actually enjoy making cold calls. I have met some great people over the years, cold calling.. and I still keep in touch with them!!!

healthagent · 04-17-2007, 04:23 PM

I did B to B since the day I got licenced in 2003. Great response, just got a bit burnt out after 2 years and change. Also burned out the areas relatively close to where I lived. I could arguably go right back to the same business areas. To me, nothing is as effective as B to B but you need heavily populated business areas to hit.

Something else you would try would be residential door to door. A bit more brutal but I think the results would be fantastic. I do a form of it with the doorhangers.

Anne · 04-17-2007, 05:01 PM

Doorhangers are great! Another marketing idea.. I suggested for an old agent and it worked well. He just did not want to spend the moeny to continue doing it.

I would hit a florist or wholesaler and pick up small baskets, then I would hit local business owners for coupons, (buy one get ones... etc...) restaurants, dry cleaners, car washes etc. anyone who would normally participate in the local Valupak .. is a great target!

I would place everything in the basket-- with a trial size shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste, a few brushes etc. everything you would be able to use if you would be "just moving in" and could not find your stuff!!!

I would then walk into the new home developments, hitting up the new homeowners.. they were always appreciative of my gesture... many times they told me they were not able to find that box of goodies yet! I would include a business card for the type of services we could offer. I would never try to sell them. I would never want to intrude --- but do you know what? THEY would call. Because it was different and I was the one they would remember! I had one woman asked me if I had toilet paper!!! I went up the street and picked her up some--- went back and delivered IT! She was soo greatful! AND became a client!

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE!!!

I guess this is a good time to mention this. (Hopefully, Laurie does not mind). After a few PMs, I found out that Laurie lives about FIVE MINUTES away from me. Talk about a small world. In fact, from my office window, I can almost see the restaurant where she ate last weekend.

Bizarre!

Ok....I now return you to the normal topic.
