Hi All
I'm new to this site, and have been selling LTC, FE, Medd Supp Etc. for the last 23 years. I've always used direct mail however, the response rate over the last few years has been horrible...1%<. I was cruising the internet and found a company which will make pre-set appointments for Med Advantage, Med Supp, SNP Etc. They want between 25.00-35.00 per appointment depending on how many you order. The price seems reasonable assuming most of the appointments show(80% I would expect to be reasonable). The two problems I'm having is that they want the first payment by check or money order and then subsequent orders can be purchased by CC. The second issue is that they don't answer the phone right away. A machine asks you to state your name and then someone comes on the line. Right away my alarms go off! The company is TSlead.com out of Allen TX. They also have several other sites they use with the same address. Am I right in being very suspicious? Any feedback on this comapny would be greatly appreciated.
Have used tsl but only for medicare leads and their will be some frustration with the system. Overall made money but used them for only 2 month period during open enrollment.
Using TSlead for MA and Supp for the last 6 m - getting pretty good results selling about 35-40%, they record their calls which is good as a back up.

We are Texas based insurance agency and have been using Tslead.com presets for 3 years now. After many lead companies this is only one that actually does what promised. About first payment check I can understand them, there are many agents that do not know how to run presets, do not know what they are doing on the field, do not know their product or simply want free lunch. I think its fair system that TSL Leads have in place. Several different sites; I think they have 2 or three with same address is understandable also since they are running several departments and target different agents and brokers; but every site thy have indicate same company name TSL Lead, TSL or Telemarketing Sales Leads, so there are no need to be suspicious.
This is a real company, they even have Trademark info link on the bottom of their sites. Hopefully they stay in business for a long time, we love their leads quality, exclusive – NOT BS.

I raised the same eyebrow as you did when I noticed that all of the posters before you had less than 10 posts. Just smelled a little like you do after you clean fish.

Do the right thing because it's simply the right thing to do.

I agree. BIG RED FLAG.
Maybe they just decided to join the forum and on their first couple of post, brag about a lead company. Hmm. I don't think so.
That’s true, I am new on this forum, however I have been selling insurance for over 9 years and I know something about lead companies. I went through entire forum site and 95% happens to be negative staff. Could you explain what is it?

This sight has been a counter for all the hype you get from people trying to sell us some marketing idea, product or hype.
Yes, they may be negative but it allows you to get a different perspective. It makes people take off the rose colored glasses.
As with all people you listen to the pro's and cons and then you decide.
They also give you questions to ask to help you protect yourself. So take the negative and enjoy the input.
Ya know, I called them about 4 weeks ago too. Did some research online. Never went through with it. 1st, doesn't make sense they won't take a CC up front if they will take it on the back end. 2nd, Checkout Ripoff Report: By Consumers, For Consumers
3rd. They used to be another company and I saw some other sites for them gomortgage or something (from memory). Google them and search their name - I found some negative stuff.
Worried me...... disclaimer: I do not have 1st hand knowledge and do not want to bash a valid co. but this is what I found.
You always here good and bad things about a telemarketing company. What telemarketing company do you know that doesn't have a complaint?

Looking for a lead company that does strictly LTC and Final Expense? Hard to find. Appreciate any referrals. Thanks.

Why do you and Rob G have the same IP address.....
Well....that was a complete waste of 350.00. No wonder they want the money up front. Out of 10 leads....8 of them were over age 85 and had no idea what the call was about or why i was there. It was evident as i worked these leads that many of these people were suffering dementia etc. I have been selling in the senior age market for 23 years and have never worked 10 leads without at least one sale. I had the unfortunate experience of not selling one of their leads. I would never use them again, and would suggest anyone thinking of using TSlead.com save your money for productive ventures.
