LEADCO...I'm Giving Them Another Shot...

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 08-22-2009, 07:52 PM

Since I have drastically cut back on NQ, InsureMe and ASAP...I thought I would give Leadco another look as I have not used them in about six months.

I deposited $50 in my account at approximately 8:43 p.m. Within 30 seconds...FOUR leads were posted to my account. Obviously these were not live fresh leads.

These may in fact be free leads, which would be very nice of them.

I'll keep you posted.

I find that I return 50% of my leadco leads (atleast). Contact rate is 20%

It looks like those four leads were complementary (aged) leads since my balance is unchanged.

Empty...What seems to be the main reason for your returns?

I tried them again also, still having same problem of missing peoples height and weight. also when leads come into my email there is a 5 minute delay for it to go into my norvax for quoting. Stacy is the only person worth speaking with as the other people there have no customer service at all...

They have been trying to get this fixed forever and still dont know what they are doing

Every single time family members come in they are getting 0 for age and o for weight...i find this inexcusable

Ironically...I also raised an issue with them that was not corrected from a year ago.

Smoking status is listed as "0" or "1" and not "Yes" or "No." I always wonder if the Norvax quote engine can figure that out.

I dont have problems with either of those things, weird!

JE INSURANCE · 08-23-2009, 07:32 PM

Well im not the only one here in florida, i have spoken with several agents with the same problem...sucks

I used Leadco recently and 9 out of 10 of the leads provided were not very happy to hear from me. Actually, they were quite pissed off and complained that I was the 10th agent who called and emailed them. I called ea. lead within 5 minutes of receiving them via email. Is this the case w/all internet leads? I'm still new to internet leads so any input is appreciated.

I feel bad that these simple internet inquiries are turning into a nightmare for the consumer. Ultimately they will not purchase from any agent(s) calling them based on the fact that they are pissed off about the volume of phone calls. Also, they will never use the website req. the quote as well so everyone kind of loses. I had a few people call me a "spammer" because they thought they would only get 1 email or phone call... amazing. Maybe I just got a bad batch or something but any input or feedback is definitely appreciated.

Yup!

I wouldn't give you $0.50 for any of the lead vendors. Every one of them are whores.

Some Leadco leads might b better than others. I've seen the Medicare lead they send out bring in good numbers

timothyjmon123 · 09-11-2009, 11:04 PM

Well, cuz, i used leadco one time and just like everyone else is saying, these leads were {eye-rate} they wanted to reach in my phone and slap me a couple of times, then i realized that i paid good money only to have folks pissed at me, i could have gotten that free of charge by just cold calling.

Lara...Are you selling something? Just curious.

russelltw · 09-13-2009, 08:08 AM

Wow Lara. I have tried your service and the few leads I called all said they have been bombarded by calls.

I find the "sold to 4 agents" hard to believe based on my limited experience. Do you use trusted partners also?

TXINSURANCE · 09-13-2009, 09:05 AM

Yup!

I'm in for 50 cents!

somarco · 09-13-2009, 12:24 PM

Joe, you have stooped to the level of 50 cent whores? I am very disappointed . . .

mmike160 · 09-16-2009, 10:41 PM

I just fired them, their leads blow...

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 09-17-2009, 08:06 AM

Can you provide specific details? Bogus leads? Affiliate leads? Both?

SamIam · 09-24-2009, 04:48 AM

I worked there internet leads once, they were the worst ever.

TXINSURANCE · 09-24-2009, 06:25 AM

Thats about what most leads are truly worth these days... OK maybe a little higher :-)
