So exactly what is the market for junk affiliate leads? Agent who don't understand money, want "cheap" leads - same agents who can't close crap anyways and cancel.[/quote]

Because Huge Call Centers buy thousands upon thousands, they dont care, they only pay for leads that convert. (HBD) so they need everything. Plus its the cheapest way for the lead company to supply volume. If anyone buys bulk leads and agree to no return policy, You get what you get.

What I found out though was the connects I was getting was a brand new fresh lead that they called on the first try right when they hit the system so I figure instead of paying them 10 dollars I could call them write away. I noticed after they had hit about 3 or 4 calls that ratio really dropped on transferred calls. Was a new system when I was using it and had some kinks in it still.

I stopped doing internet leads but there are other reasons I stopped.

Give me a call and I will let you know what else I found out I do not want to put on a public forum.

I was leaning toward Vimo for leads, but am intriqued by Leadpod..... can you detail the reason you went with them over others?

Did you negotiate a discount for the association with them?

Thanks

PS: Take down that obnoxious post on your blog about WalMart...... and go out and wrangle some support for McCain...........

Well, everyone knows my touted and used methods; BtoB, telemarketing, doorhangers and anything else to generate your own leads.

For high volume shared leads work - and work well. Get 20 a day, manage them well and if you're organized you can really punch it out. However, I see absolutely no reason to get a low volume of shared leads. If you want to write a deal "here and there" and live off your spouse - fine. It's for you.

However, it's not a perfect world and overwhelmingly agents are simply not going to generate their own leads. We live is a "I WANT IT NOW!" world and not many people want to invest the time to build up a local community presence.

So, I need good lead sources and system to recommend. Leadpod is one of those systems I simply have to try to establish the results. Like anything else I suspect they'll be for some people, not for others.

Interesting results on some of the leads I'm getting - some of the "horrible" companies aren't actually so horrible - very decent results.

Ps: the Walmart comments stays. Sorry.

John, wanted to contact you about that Independant Health insurance agents association you represent. Is there a way to contact you?

I would not reccommend producer pipeline because of their horrible lead credit system. I've had bad experiences with almost every time I've asked for a credit. You can tell they try to deny every credit that comes in. For $20 a lead, there are a lot better places to spend your money.

Producer Pipeline = WORST customer service of any lead vendor out there. Hands down. Not even close.

Ihave had very good success with Producer PiPELine in the past when i used to write health...i just wish they had annuity leads!!!! but they were damn good!

HealthGuy · 10-29-2009, 09:25 AM

They are not the same anymore. Good luck with PP.

I used them in the beggining and they were great,.....then all of the sudden qaulity was not the same

I used producer pipeline for over 40 leads and never closed anyone or came close. This guy Wayne that works for them is a rude and a arrogant lier. After the pay your $350 to start the account you can not ever get that back. So after the first 20 crappy beatup leads I call and say I don't want any more leads, they say they will give me some special filter, another line of crap. Now they said they wouldn't bill my credit card again, but they did. Now I try to get my money back and they say once your billed you cant get it back, you have to cancel in writing. After arguing with Wayne he says YOUR NOT GOING TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. So Producer Pipeline SUCKS.

HealthGuy · 11-19-2009, 09:31 AM

Yea, they still suck. Call them or email them and request they do something for you - and they simply never reply. I have leads I pay 1/2 the price for from other vendors and get 100% more service. Producer Pipeline sucks.
