When i read the report that was posted right before this one, i said to myself, "Yep, that's EXACTLY what those RIPOFF ARTISTS did to me also...!!!
i got 15 FREE LEADS, and only ONE person sounded even REMOTELY INTERESTED in LIFE INSURANCE... She told me though, that she had been INUNDATED WITH PHONE CALLS.. When i called her back, she never answered her phone... the ONLY LEAD that did not tell me they were not interested...
One lady told me that she had had the phone number (i called) for OVER ONE YEAR, and that she kept getting calls for that person, a year later...
One guy told me that the person i was calling for, had NOT LIVED THERE FOR OVER TWO AND A HALF YEARS... and that he had stolen from him..
i E-mailed them the night before my 15 "Free Leads" ran out, telling them to CANCEL my account, and to NOT SEND ME ANY MORE LEADS... THEY DID ANY WAY... SIX MORE LEADS..!! Lucky for me, i had switched over to the $3.50 leads, from the $15.00 ones...
Prior to that, LEAD number 16 was the guy that told me about the guy ripping him off, and was a BOGUS LEAD... they credited me $3.50 for it, which means they charged me $3.50 for it, which was correct...
i CANCELLED MY ACCOUNT A WEEK AGO, AND i still have NOT RECEIVED MY $79.00 THEY OWE ME..!!! The broad there told me that she did not know WHEN i would be getting a CHECK IN THE MAIL... MAYBE TWO WEEKS from now...
i NEED that money NOW.. i was COUNTING on it, and now, i won't be getting it, till after the first of December, IF i get it at all... To top it off, she said they have me down for a $67.00 refund (from my initial $100.00 Deposit) when they really owe me $79.00... Well, actually, they SHOULD CREDIT ME BACK THE FULL $100.00, because
THEIR LEADS ARE PURE DOG-SH*T !!!
i have worked in the SALES BUSINESS for over THIRTY YEARS, and i KNOW GOOD LEADS, and i KNOW BAD LEADS... and THESE ARE BAD LEADS...
Just like the other complaintant said, the MAJORITY of the phone numbers, are to ANSWERING MACHINES, and when i tried to E-MAIL the people (after not being able to reach them by phone) THE E-MAILS CAME BACK, AS "UNDELIVERABLE"..!!!
So what is the point, of continuously asking them to keep REPLACING BAD LEADS WITH MORE BAD LEADS...???
They CLAIM that they sell their leads to a maximum of FIVE AGENTS... BULL S*IT...!!!!
TRY ABOUT A HUNDRED AGENTS... THAT'S A LOT MORE ACCURATE A FIGURE, THAN FIVE...
And when THAT many agents are calling them, THEY STOP ANSWERING THEIR PHONE, AND KEEP THE ANSWERING MACHINE ON, AND SCREEN ALL THEIR CALLS...
Now i'm using a different lead source, and let me tell you, they are A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN NET-QUOTES DOG-SH*T LEADS...!!!
They have "Semi-Exclusive" leads there, and that means that they sell them to JUST YOU AND ONE OTHER AGENT... and let me tell you, THEY ARE GOOD LEADS... i bought 12 leads from them, and already got one sale... they even gave me over 50 FREE BONUS LEADS, and those are GOOD LEADS also... they are "Aged" leads, like 4 to 15 days old... i am getting VERY GOOD RESULTS from them... and the leads cost about twenty dollars each...
They gave me 12 fresh leads, and over 50 "Aged" leads (that were 4 to 15 (or was it 60?) days old) for under $250.00... a GOOD DEAL...!!!
NOT LIKE NET QUOTE AT ALL...
NET QUOTE SELLS THEIR LEADS TO A LOT MORE THAN FIVE AGENTS... A LOT MORE..!!!
And when i called and told them how lousy their leads were, and that i wanted a refund, the guy i spoke with, didn't sound at all surprised, or affected... like he was USED to people calling him, and telling him his leads aren't worth the paper they're written on.. Any way, i'm going to go ahead and complain to the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, as i'm afraid i'll never get my PROPER, FULL REFUND from them, if i don't...
To any and all of you INSURANCE AGENTS OUT THERE, that are looking to BUY LEADS, it's NOT just Net-Quote that you have to look out for...
No, it's ANY LEAD COMPANY that tries to SELL YOU "SHARED" LEADS... leads that they SELL to A LOT OF OTHER AGENTS, BESIDES YOU...!!!
DO THE MATH...
Even IF there were just FOUR other Agents (in addition to you) calling the same lead YOU are trying to reach (by telephone) and they CALL that person FIVE TIMES.... (in one or two days time) that comes out to SIXTEEN OTHER PHONE CALLS, in JUST THE FIRST TWO DAYS ALONE... from the moment those LEADS were "AQUIRED"... whenever THAT was... who knows...???
When all you have is THEIR WORD, you DON'T HAVE ANYTHING REALLY....!!!
They may TELL you that you will get an AVERAGE CLOSING RATION OF 12 to 24%, but THAT IS HORSESHIT, AND WISHFUL THINKING...!!!
It is NOT worth the time and effort, to keep calling BOGUS LEADS, and you KNOW that just about EVERY ONE you call, is going to reach someone's ANSWERING MACHINE, or VOICE MAIL, you can do MUCH BETTER, by calling on a list of 1,000 names, that you can buy for about $250.00... i did.. i'm glad i did, for sure..
So, DO NOT EVER BUY "SHARED" LEADS.... NOT EVER...!!!
PAY THE EXTRA MONEY, AND GET QUALITY LEADS...!!!
A GOOD, REPUTABLE COMPANY WILL REPLACE ALL THE BAD LEADS YOU GET..
This new lead company i'm using has already replaced every lead i've complained about..
i had three that were wrong numbers, and two people that claimed they never requested any information, but a small number of just such leads are to be expected, and it's no problem, when they REPLACE ALL the leads that are people like that..
i really truly wanted this to work, with Net-Quote, but i guess they are just some SCAMMERS, that are DESPERATE for money, and are CUTTING CORNERS, and PADDING the LEAD COUNT(s) with BAD LEADS... leads that are WAY TOO OLD to be anything but BOGUS....
It wouldn't surprise me, if a good percentage of those leads, were phone numbers that they OWN, in certain areas and states, and they mostly ring over to a number of different phones, that have VOICE MAIL set up for them...
You call the number(s) and it rings, and it rolls over to a bank of phone numbers somewhere, within their data base, with no answering machine connected to them, just the VOICE MAIL "Set" for all of them...
That would explain why you get so many telephone numbers, that ring and ring, with no answer, or that ring a few times, and then, you get a recording... of who knows who, or what..
BUYER BEWARE..!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED....!!! NOW DON'T BUY ANY "SHARED" LEADS...
AND DON'T GET SUCKERED IN, BY THE APPEAL OF LOW COST LEADS, OR "FREE LEADS", OR PROMOTIONAL OFFERS.... ADIOS, AMIGOS...!!!
