Below is the email that i had received from James Simpson, a sales manager at JNS Resources. This looked exactly like another email I had gotten from a different company, offering the same services. I was weary at first, but thought I would find out what this was about. James told me that all their leads come from direct telemarketing and the folks had expressed interest. My thoughts, how can 800 people be telemarketed and he is only charging. 50 cents a name? I am not an expert in minimum wage laws, but for someone to find 800 people, doesn't that require at least 40-50 hours of work. If minimum wage is around $6 per hour, that would be 133 interested individuals an hour. I assume that they didn't call 800 people and get a "yes, go ahead and have someone call me" from everyone of them. I have tried these programs before and I call 500 people to get maybe, 10 people that were willing to talk to me. I am, also, good when it comes to cold calling. I talked to a colleague of mine and they told me that the lists were junk. He tried it and had more disconnected and fax numbers than people interested. I contacted the BBB but they weren't registered and I contacted the State's Attorney, who told me I had to be a resident of MO. These leads are not qualified and this is a form of scamming that this individual is performing. It appears he stole another companies email, set up shop in his basement, and ordered leads off of Info USA. Order at your own risk.
"Hello LPL Advisor.
With 2010 coming to a close, it brings goals and deadlines that need to be met. This makes prospecting an important part of maintaining a productive business. I have valuable information in your area that could greatly help your prospecting needs in obtaining new business. I am sending you this because your products and services as well as being an LPL advisor is a better fit for these specific individuals.
I have two specific groups of individuals located within 15 - 20 miles from your office location in NJ.
The first group is 514 individuals who have unmoved retirement funds still with a previous employer. They have indicated over the last 30-60 days they are interested in finding out what options are available for them to move their funds to something more beneficial for their long term needs. Their age group is between 55 & 70, all confirmed homeowners, have retired or left their employment in the last 6-12 months, and have 350K invested in their retirement funds.
This Group is $350
The second group is 329 individuals who have out of state accounts and are looking for a local transfer. They have also indicated over the last 30-60 days they have recently relocated to the area in the last 12 months, and are now interested in finding an advisor to make a local transfer. Their age group is between 35 & 60, all confirmed homeowners, have 100K in annual income, and 500K invested currently out of state. This Group is $300
If you feel you could take on both groups, I can do both for $500
This includes Scrubbing for national and state DNC, 100% Exclusivity, and a 2 for 1 replacement on any incorrect data. All information is prescreened and self-reported. I also have scripts available upon request.
Give me a call or email me if you or anyone else in your office would be interested.
Thank you.
James
