We’ve blown the whistle.
Sadly hundreds, if not thousands, of agents and advisors, have been screwed by online lead companies claiming to get you quality, exclusive leads.
We recently published a report, called the Lead Company Expose’, where we reveal …
- How lead companies are ripping agents off
- The villainous way lead companies generate leads
- Why you’re wasting your time and money buying online leads
- Establish yourself as the trusted expert advisor in your niche
- Can put all your marketing on a system
- Can focus 100% of your time on selling instead of prospecting
- Can achieve freedom from the villainous lead companies and programs stealing your money
I have bought online leads in the past. I wasted thousands of dollars and tons of hours chasing crappy leads down. Almost every time, I would call and they had already been called by 4 other agents.
It made me feel really good I was paying per lead and it was getting resold to more than one agent. The lead companies have to do that or they won’t make any money. Plus you would be appalled to know how they generate the leads and then sell them to you.
How do we know?
Well, we tested it ourselves. We saw first hand what they do to generate a “so-called” quality lead, and then sell it to multiple different agents.
Now, I know of agents who make money buying online leads, but it’s a rough game. They are a quoting machine, working 7 days a week. Not my idea of a fun way to build a business and have quality of life.
Sure, I understand you have to work hard, especially if you’re starting out from scratch. But you may be working just as hard as an industry veteran who has tried lead company after lead company … only to still feel frustrated and worn out.
A smarter way does exist. You must attract your own leads. I am not saying it doesn’t require work either. It does. But why not work to achieve freedom from the feeling you have to buy online leads? Why not work to build a system that attracts your own leads each month? Why not build a system that allows you to focus more on selling instead of prospecting?
You see … when you attract your own leads and set it up on a system, you…
Imagine the peace of mind knowing you have a constant stream of leads each month calling you. Imagine the comfort you would feel bringing in an extra $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 a month attracting your own leads.
Recently we interviewed a few 7 figure producers. Funny thing … they DON’T buy online leads. They worked to establish themselves in a niche and developed systems to attract their own leads. Need I say more?
Maybe I’ll let some real agents do the talking. Last week, we opened the doors to our Alliance Program. We asked agents and advisors to comment on their experiences buying online leads. You will see that I am not the only one saying lead companies are taking advantage of agents and advisors…
Check out what other agents and advisors had to say …
As a struggling Life/Health Idependent Broker I have used 2 different lead companines actually 3 If I include National Agents Allience lead program, but that is a totally different story.
Anyway the ones I tried were Discount Life Leads (Now I understand thename of the company - DISCOUNT) and the other was NetQoute.Regards,

I tried Net Quote & found them to provide totally unreliable leads. The leads supposedly had been verified, not one lead was real. When I tried working with them to replace the leads with legitimate ones as stated in the agreement they gave me a hard time. After CANCELLING THEY TRIED CHARGING MY CREDIT CARD. American Express & the BBB helped clear my charges. Thanks for the report.

I tried Senior Leads and found these to be absolutely bogus. Many these leads had clients above 80 years old. You really can’t help someone wih an annuity that is “underwater” and needs from this locked in investment

Stay away from Moneytree Lending or Moneytree funding, anything with the name Moneytree. They have a bogus lead program, promising 40 leads a month of people closing on new home purchases or refinancing. Not one of those leads provided to me was legitimate and could not get my money back or even get replacement leads, which was clearly stated on the contract I signed, nor could I get them to call me back. Beware Moneytree!
Thanks for all you guys do for us agents who have no coaching outlets available through our organizations, keep up the great work!

Suvey Resource Center out of Fla. sold me a list of “current annuity owners” who according to them had requested to meet with an advisor. This was a total joke, out of the first 10 I called 8 were bad telephone numbers and the other 2 were on the do not call list. I called asking for a refund and got nothing. I did stop payment on my credit card and they ended up getting nothing. I call the Florida attorney general and there was numerous complaints on this company. Be careful, the bigger promises they make the more untruthful they are.

Citiwide Lending Group has an automated lead delivery system. Information is bad. They offer credit - as long as you subscribe to continue receiving bad leads. DON’T DO IT!

My two cents would be sto stay away from Netquote, NAA, Iwebleads and producer pipeline.
Been agent long time seeking to genrate own leads. I eagerly await your product launch.Sheryl

I have tried several different “paid” lead sources. Some provide bona fide leads. However, since you can’t control the monthly volume, they end up taking way too much staff time quoting and chasing.

I have tried both NetQuote & Insurance Leadz (with a Z). These so-called “exclusive” leads were a joke. The very first lead I received from Ins Leadz was from a gentleman that said I was the third person to call him regarding his online quote request. He told me he didnt even own a computer. Net Quote’s leads were terrible…and trying to get another lead was like pulling teeth. Make sure and watch your checking account very carefully….both will bill you without notice.
This is only a small sampling of all horrible experiences real agents are having with villainous lead companies. Simple fact; you must attract your own leads.
We can show you how in our Alliance Program. The doors are still open and will be closing soon. You can go here to get a FREE trial and start the process of attracting your own leads.
Talk soon,

Thanks for the great article. We need more people like you guys to help us know who’s ripping us off.
Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
Thanks for these infos! very useful!
auto bad credit leads…
I agree with what you wrote here at Countrywide and Loan Officer Fraud. Good points there….
marketing consultants…
“i would like to read more of your post on great idea.”…
A1 Annuities in California is absolutely bogus. I wrote them a personal check up front for $1,500 for set annuity appointments. Not a single lead they sent me had any idea why I was there, nor was I able to get into a single home. The ‘manager’ they assigned me ‘Jerry’ was an absolute idiot. He seemed to have no idea what constituted a quality lead. I tried for months to get a refund but they absolutely refused, a bunch or real hard asses! I ended up filing a complaint with ‘Rip Off Revenue’ to which they responded to by leaving me a bunch of shitty messages on my voice mail and threatened to sue me. I did learn from the situation though because the next time someone ask me for up front payment by check, I countered offered with a bankcard by they refused and hung up!
Hello. I think the article is really interesting. I am even interested in reading more. How soon will you update your blog?
1st Century Mortgage- offered me a certain number of leads for around $425. They ‘guaranteed’ to replace ANY lead that I did not sell(no matter what the reason).This was supposed to be leads from their bank with people who just applied for mortgages with them .This was a scam. Every person I called basically said that they never applied for any mortgages.I kept calling 1st Century back to get my new and ‘free’ replacement leads and was sent to another person, etc. Now their phone number doesn’t even work.
As for Insurance LeadZ (with a ‘z’) they promised to replace any lead that was not considered bonified but you need to give them a reason why and if they don’t like your reason you get nothing back. Now, they keep sending me an email telling me how “You (I) just missed another lead !” Please renew your account, etc. FORGET THIS COMPANY AS WELL.
It was an affirmation of what we already knew and was encouraging.
