Guide to Online Leadgen Sites for Agents

Filed under: Car Transport, Insurance Agencies, Online Finance — admin @ 4:42 pm

Prior to the internet, a significant portion of an insurance underwriter’s work day was spent on the phone, trying to reach potential prospects. Today, insurance marketing for insurance brokers includesbuying targeted leads from insurance leadgen sites. These internet sites offer an simple and quick way of winning new clients.

Insurance sales lead sites offer a very good solution for insurance underwriters searching for a larger client base. These sites first compile information from consumers interested in a policy through their own network of websites. Then, they use the data supplied to pair each user with local agents.

With so many insurance lead websites each offering slightly unique insurance leads, insurance agents don’t always know which company is right for them. There are certain features that good insurance lead sites hold that can help them stand out from the others including pricing, return policy, billing and filters.

Lead Cost is significant. A low cost lead may not provide high quality people but a high cost lead might be too expensive to make a net profit

A few insurance leadgen sites try to make you make a very large deposit before sending you leads. With so many insurance lead generation companies allowing you to start receiving leads with a small upfront deposit or some that will bill you after you receive leads, there is no reason to deposit too much up front.

Bogus insurance leads are inevitable. Select a lead company with a great refund policy and this shouldn’t be an issue.

The ability to only be sent the type of prospect you want is essential. Most insurance lead generation websites offer some sort of filtering power so that you only are sent and are charged for the consumer that is best for your company.

Lastly, when reviewing a sales lead company, you should shop around and start with multiple insurance lead sites. A few will be good for car insurance sales leads while others might send better home insurance leads. If you purchase insurance leads from several lead companies, it will give you an edge against your competitiors and will keep the volume of your leads in check.

HI2 Months Two Million

G4 is home to some great television. In the past week or two I’ve recorded Flash Gordon, Toxic Avenger III, and now their newest reality TV show, 2 Months 2 Million.

The premise is 4 young professional poker online players move to Las Vegas for a summer. Their ages range from 22-26. By pooling their casino online money (said to be about a million between them all), their intention is to make $2 million profit in their 2 month long stay playing poker.

The four stars, their ages, and their online names are:

Dani Stern - 22 “ansky” Jay Rosenkrantz- 25 - “Krantz” Brian Roberts - 26 - “Flawless_Victory” Emil Patel - 25 - “whitelime”

Stern actually made it to the 40k final table that ESPN aired to start of the WSOP 2009 coverage.

The show is kind of lame, but a little fun to watch. They are super nerdy guys, but the advent of a camera seems to get them some action from the ladies. The make some silly bets on golf and juvenile behavior stunts. The highlight is the little bit of poker they play. All of it is online, shown abridged. They have a “war room” which is an awesome little room where they can all set up and multitable together. There is a TV screen broadcasting their play so when some players are not playing, they can watch. While they don’t show much poker being played, they do show some insane pots shipping back and forth.

At the end of each week they gather their records to see how much they’ve collectively won or lost. The player that loses the most, or profits the least, at the end of the week is punished with some prank. In this episode Dani had to go to a lunch buffet in a pink tutu and ballerina outfit. It’s a bit pathetic, but somewhat enjoyable. .
