My name is Tom and I am an insurance agent in Oregon. I am compeled to report my experiences with RAMP-LLC, in hopes of minimizing the chances of someone else falling prey to this company.
In Oct. I was contacted by RAMP-LLC. I then spoke with the sales rep. Adam Ross. We discussed their lead program in detail. Adam went as far as sending an invoice stating the companies guarantees and credit policy. This process went on for approx. 2 1/2 weeks. During this time, I spoke with Stephanie Boyd and Ron Stevens who are the owners of RAMP-LLC. They also confirmed everything that was told to me by Adam Ross.
In mid-Nov. I purchased Life and LTC leads from RAMP-LLC. The leads were absolute garbage. Now keep in mind that RAMP-LLC niche is qualified leads through the lead generating process of sending reply slips out with bank statements. They also guarantee that the lead will not be older than 15 days and every lead must request that an agent call them in order to be a qualified lead under RAMP-LLC standards.
My leads included; fax numbers, disconnected numbers, numbers on the federal DNC list, upset people who were adamant that they did not fill-out a reply card or request that an agent call them. Most leads did not meet the minimum networth or minimum household income criteria that RAMP-LLC claims qualified a lead to be sold to their clients. Bottom-line; none of the leads that I was able to contact was a qualified lead under the standards that Adam Ross stated during his discussions with me and as stated on their website.
I made over 30 attempts to contact these 3 individuals and they would not take my call nor would they return my calls. I also tried emailing them and they would not respond.in fact, 4 hours ago, I called Adam Ross. He answered in a confused voice (I could tell by the way he answered the phone). I said; Adam, is this Adam. He replied with hesitation, yes - who is this? I immediately said "Adam this is Tom from Oregon. He hesitated for approx. 5 seconds and said "I don't know a Adam from Oregon". I replied; Adam this is Tom and I got a problem with the leads that you sold me!" He then said, "this is not Adam, my name is Paul and you got the wrong number". He then hung up.
I spoke with Adam enough times to beable to recognize his voice. Adam, you need to "MAN UP" and face my music. All I wanted from RAMP-LLC was to stand by their product and credit policy.in fact, I was willing to work with them to hopefully perfect this lead generation concept.
I am not angry with Adam Ross, Stephanie Boyd, or Ron Stevens. I am just disappointed. They took a very viable lead generation concept and tainted it. I speak for myself in saying that I would have paid 10 times as much as they charged for qualified leads. I hope this helps the next person contemplating using RAMP-LLC as a lead source.
