Insurance Leads you pick

agent C · 10-21-2008, 02:14 PM

If you were mostly marketing Auto, Home and Life, which of the following companies would you choose and why.

Netquotes.com
Insureme.com
Agentinsider.com
Hometownquotes.com
Quotesauction.com

I know this is something that has been gone over and over again on this site but I havent found anything on here really comparing these companies all at one time. So if you have used any of them please explain your results and if you have used them all list them from best to worst.

Thanks,

I believe there is a thread titled "2008 Lead Company Review" or something like that. Most of the companies you mentioned were reviewed in that thread.

agent C · 10-21-2008, 02:57 PM

I saw that thread but, I thought that seemed to be geared toward health insurance leads instead of P&C leads and I thought the companies might differ depending on what types of leads you were looking for.

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 10-21-2008, 03:37 PM

Yes, you're right. I'm not sure if there are any good P&C lead review threads posted.

If I were offering unbiased advice I would tell you to pick a couple of them and try them out. Not all lead companies are created equally and not all lead companies can provide everything to everyone. A couple pieces of advice. 1. Dont pay more than $100 (maybe $200) to try a company out. 2. Make sure that you arent going to be locked in to any long term agreements. 3. Ask for some help...we give $50-$100 in free leads just for giving us a shot. Most other companies will do something similiar.

I dont think you have anything to worry about with the companies you have listed but if you went outside of these there are some that will try to charge you several thousand dollars to start and will never send you a lead...uggh.

Dont know if that helps or not but before I sold my agencies I bought from more than one of the companies on your list. If you can handle the volume buying from more than one source is never a bad idea. Good luck!

I'll do one better than Bay-area Mike's friend. I'll give you the same information, but with a higher quality and 25% lower in price. And no payments for 90 days.

somarco · 10-22-2008, 05:14 PM

Follow Hunter's advice (above).

you cant get a lower price because I am working with the data collector directly. its impossible

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 10-23-2008, 01:34 PM

Oh yes I can. And my data is time-stamped for accuracy.

Insureme is my favorite. I haven't ever really had much luck with quotesauction. I like netquote also (I tend to get their home and auto leads as opposed to just auto with insureme). I haven't used the other two.

agent C · 10-23-2008, 05:29 PM

What % of those leads do you close and how many of the leads are bogus.

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 10-23-2008, 05:30 PM

"how..can you please explain?"

Yes...the data that I get is not "public generated" like yours. In fact, your rate of inaccuracy is 7.9%. That's high!

I use only data that is DSQ (Dual-Source Quality) and therefore has an inaccuracy ratio of just 1.2%.

Also...in the latest rankings that appeared in Lead Generation Online...I was recognized as "one of the top five" data providers.

BayareaMike...I'm sure your buddy's leads are average, but I use next-generation methods that would boggle your mind.

Chumps 2.0?

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 10-23-2008, 06:55 PM

No. 1.0 I skipped the first generation.

lol, methods that would boggle my mind?? hahahah, do you have lists of contractors based on gross receipts? thats what i need.

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 10-24-2008, 07:45 PM

Yea...I bet you would like to see that! Can I look at your tax returns for the last seven years?

DSQ is the wave of the future. There are only four companies IN THE WORLD that use this. And we're one of them. And some of our contractors are exclusive to us. Such as D Ray Data General. You won't see them working for anybody but us.

And a quick note to the dozen or so that have contacted me from this thread. I appreciate your business!
