Is There an 'agent Network' That I Can Sell Leads To?

(first off, sorry, this isn't an offer to sell leads or provide a service - hope it doesn't break any forum rules)

I run an insurance website and I'd like to monetize our auto insurance traffic. Currently, we provide a mixture of qualitative/quantitative estimates for people looking for auto insurance, and what I'd like to do is connect a user that wants to buy insurance with a representative from their selected insurer. So this means its an exclusive, white label service - if that makes any sense.

I've heard of things like 'agent networks' or 'fulfillment centers,' but I don't really know what they are. Everywhere I look, I find people that are willing to sell leads, but it looks like most of them just sell them to independent agents. What I'd prefer to do is nationwide, real-time matching/forwarding for both captive (ex: State Farm), independent, and direct (ex: GEICO) insurers. Realistically, I'd imagine this would be a call center (or a mixture of call centers).

Does anything like this exist? I'm open to other suggestions too, thanks.

I have health /auto/life/medicare sites, and currently have agreements with 2 health agencies to supply health insurance leads to, for Auto I think you would make more doing a brokersweb/surehits listings with an auto lead form pop up vs selling to ind agents.

mb if have enough volume to cut a deal with a network of allstate/statefarm/nationwide offices or something like that

Thanks for the quick reply; I thought Surehits and BrokersWeb only did PPC?

We'd also like to get as close to real-time feedback as possible; I'd hate for someone to say that they'd like to be contacted ASAP only for there to be a 2 day wait until an agent contacts them.

We do about 2,000 organic UV/month, which I imagine isn't enough traffic to get insurers to let me pass people onto their call centers. This is how we thought an agent network would be more effective.

Sort of. They do PPC but it's based on actual leads and conversions. The better your conversion rate the more $ you get.

Interesting, thanks - I'll follow up with them. Hopefully *fingers crossed* they'll let me use my existing user interface and not their garbage 1990's one!
