Picking the Right Insurance Sales Lead Websites

Posted by admin on October 29th, 2009 — Posted in Finance Information, Insurance Savvy, Road Rage

Prior to the internet, a strong percentage of an insurance agent’s day was spent on the phone, calling up potential prospects. These days, insurance marketing for brokers includesgetting prescreened leads from leadgen companies. These insurance lead generation sites offer a cost effective substitute to lists and other marketing methods.

Insurance lead websites function by matching together prospects interested in an insurance policy with agents who want to sell them a policy. They collect personal information from every consumer utilizing a lead form, warehouse the information and then sell the sales lead to one or more brokers.

With a number of insurance lead sites all selling slightly distinct leads, insurance brokers can’t always determine which company is best for them. You should look for a company that can regularly offer quality leads with prices that can bring a high ROI, a fair billing system and return policy, a system to filter your leads and that the insurance leads are delivered in real time.

Recognizing what to watch out for in an insurance lead company can help you choose the right one. The specific cost of the lead is significant, but more critical is the profit you receive on the leads. Being able to filter your leads so that they are prequalified is a very important factor. The next thing to look at is cost. A $15 lead that buys a policy is worth more than a $5 lead that doesn’t get an insurance policy. Review the return rules prior to signing up with a sales lead company. They should refund your money for any fake leads you are sent. Likewise, a lot of insurance lead websites have a low amount required to fund your lead account. If the lead service try to charge you a large amount of cash up front, you might be risking too much.

When purchasing sales propsects, you shouldn’t only stick with one company. You should try multiple sales lead companies. You may end up finding that a couple get you high quality life insurance leads but don’t offer great automobile insurance leads. If you get leads from different lead companies, it will give you an edge against other agents and will keep the volume of your leads in check.
