I'm trying to help out a new agent and am doing some shared lead research for him. Just got off the phone with InsureMe since a few year ago they were one of my better sources - the volume was simply never there.
I was stunned when I asked how many agents share the lead and heard "up to 8." What! Up to 8? She said the average is between 3 to 5 but yes, in some markets it's shared with 8 agents.
Man, you just really have to feel for these people wondering onto websites thinking they're gonna see quotes and up the 8 agents call them. How in the hell does InsureMe think the client is served by any more than 3 agents calling? It really burns my biscuits.

It's really simple John. I cannot believe you don't understand the business mindset of things. Some states have as many as 8 carriers, SO wouldn't it be prudent to have 8 different agents represent each of those companies?
Better yet, people who respond to the "Obtain health insurance for $30 months" have a better position to negotiate with each of the agent on premiums. Wait a minute, that's not how it is in the real world.
Hi John:
I'm with HometownQuotes. I don't know if you've researched us, but our lead company was started by two insurance agents who wanted to set a new standard among companies in this industry.
We've won four awards this year, our CEO was in the top ten reader's favorites for Inc. magazine's 2007 Entrepreneur of the Year and we're the only lead aggregator that has a full-time quality control department whose sole purpose is to make sure our leads are of highest quality.
Our site is http://agents.hometownquotes.com/
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
Best,
Krista
