I've used them for about 18 months, and have spent 6k-7k. Never really felt like it was a great deal, but sometimes with cross selling it wasn't too bad. Tried to call, did some drop in's, and probably never really turned in more than the 10-15% of my leads for credit, because I just wasn't too focused on it.
So ended up getting 117 leads in last 2 months, and spent the time actually going out to see all of them face to face, and go figure, of the ones I caught up within the 10 day credit period, 80 of them were completely fake! of the remaining 37, I had 14 good leads, and the remaining 23 I never caught up with face to face.
Haven't taken the time to calculate what I spent vs what was credited, but at the $350 I was charged, based on the same ratios would've been almost $800 in credits, which they credited no questions asked.
I didn't mind the gas and time wasted contacting the 69% of fake ones, cause I feel like that's as good as door knocking, but I can knock on doors for free, not for 800 bucks of "leads".
But because of this, they made me have a max of 25% I could get credit for in the future, guaranteeing 75% were legit, when over a 60 day period, I had personally realized that 69% were fake. Of course I told them where to stick it...
they said it was because 2.5% of the customers apply for 50% of the credits, and I replied that means they are making a ton on the 97.5% that don't work all the leads and apply for the credits (same as I had been the previous 18 months).
They have a hell of a business model. promote quality as their number 1 goal, let the blind continue to pay for the names out of the phone book, and then cap the accounts of those that actually work the system. Since they are selling them to multiple agents, would've thought they wouldn't mind taking my money with the high credits, since not selling any to me will make them no money.
Just seems odd that once someone is onto their scam that the policies change. Thought I would share... curious to see if others have charted it closely by actually going face to face instead of dialing and not getting returned calls.
