Leads Buying Warnings

[coneman1701]

To all agents purchasing leads from the following companies, beware. They are InsureMe,All Web Leads, Hakim Insurance Marketing, The Lead Republic, Parasol Leads, Prospect Match, Brokerville, Final Expense Leads, and Marketing Lead Generation. My experience has cost me $4252.00 to find that these companies promises and guarantees are worthless. What I did find is that they are all using the same vendor and just re-selling the leads to different companies, who then sell them to insurance agents. I just filed a complaint with the Florida BBB on Marketing lead generation today. Their leads are supposed to be responders filled out by the clients and mailed back to the company. However, after contacting the 300 leads, I found that not one of these people ever filled out these postcards and several of them were insurance agents. I suggest that you delete the e-mail message that you may have received from them before you get burned.

If Manatees can fly...I guess Lend.com can sell insurance leads.

Re: Leads

No disrespect intended, but when one rattles off a list of lead providers with a half decent reputation and claims they all suck...... maybe one should look to the answer of finding out WHY they all suck.

First off, there are no guarantees or promises. These are leads. And it doesn't make sense to me that you would spend over 4 grand before throwing in internet fit.

You maybe misguided on how internet leads become internet leads, it has nothing to do with postcards......

Since you do not need to scrub responders against the encrypt list that ad would be only slighty better than cold calling the telephone book.

I know we bash all lead companies, but I wonder how many times if the agent was worth anything, they would have closed the lead?
