I am in insurance sales, I try many approaches to solicit potential clients. To do this, I have used several sources of sales leads. I was called by ABC Marketing who said that they could direct exclusive insurance internet leads to me. They wanted a committment of 40 leads at $10/lead, paid up front. I was not prepared to make that big of a comittment with no track record, so Rick Chiat, their salesperson told me that if I would purchase 20 leads, paid in advance, that they would guarantee satisfaction and then if I sold business off of those leads I could buy more. So we agreed on the parameters of those leads (No accidents, none or only one ticket, zip codes, certain credit score, etc...) and I gave him $200. That was four months ago, and I have recieved exactly one lead, which was way outside the discussed parameters.
Since I have a letter from them guaranteeing full satisfaction or money back, I called-no answer so I left a message. No response. So I sent an email. No response. So I called again, stating that I did not want to have to spread the word around of the way they were doing business, but that I would have no choice if they did not respond to me. That was several days ago, and no response. So if you are in the insurance business and this outfit calls you, save your money! There are plenty of ligit places to buy leads from.
