Guide to Online Insurance Lead Generation Companies for Agents July 29, 2009
Posted in : Economy + Finance, Insurance Info, Road Rage , trackbackPrior to the internet, a full part of an insurance broker’s work day was spent on the phone, cold calling potential prospects. These days, insurance lead websites can easily provide quality, targeted insurance sales leads that are actively looking to purchase a new insurance policy. These insurance lead sites offer an efficient option to lists and other marketing strategies.
Lead generation companies function by pairing together users interested in an insurance policy with agents who are interested in selling them a policy. These websites collect information from every prospect using an online form, warehouse the information and then sell the sales lead to one or more brokers.
With an abundant amount of sales lead sites each offering slightly distinct products, agents can’t always determine which one is right for them. You should look for a website that can regularly provide quality leads with prices that can deliver a good return on investment, a fair billing system and refund guidelines, a system to filter your sales leads and that the leads are delivered in real time.
To find the appropriate lead company, you should look for certain characteristics. Quality is most important in getting a good ROI. Being able to filter your sales leads so that they meet specific qualifications is a key factor. Another important factor is price.. If you spend too much for each lead you are sent, you might not see a positive ROI. Then again, if you spend money on low cost leads, you may be wasting your money. Eventually you will buy a lead you can’t reach. If the lead service doesn’t permit you to return this kind of fake lead, then you should consider contacting another sales lead company. Some insurance leadgen websites also try to make you spend $500 or $1000 when signing up. Be skeptical of this. Most insurance leadgen websites only ask for a minimal up front deposit to begin getting leads while a couple will charge monthly for previously purchased leads.
When buying leads, you shouldn’t choose only one lead service. You should test a few sales lead sites. Some will be great for auto insurance leads while others might offer better home insurance leads. If you get sales leads from various lead companies, it will give you an edge against other insurance agents and will keep the quality of your insurance leads in check.
