Q: Are your insurance leads shared or exclusive?
A: Our insurance leads are shared with a minimal number of agents. We do not offer exclusive leads because there is no way to guarantee the exclusivity of a lead on the Internet. It's not unusual for consumers to visit several websites requesting insurance quotes. However, we offer agency and/or carrier exclusivity to captive agents.
Q: Are the leads sent to agents representing the same insurance carrier?
A: All of our leads are carrier exclusive. For example, if you are an exclusive Allstate agent, you will not be competing with other Allstate agents for the same lead. Also, no other agent on your sales floor will get the same lead, as long as those agents enter the same company/corporate insurance license number, when registering with InsuranceLeads.com.
Q: How many agents receive a lead?
A: On average, leads are sent to 3-5 agents. However, lead distribution varies depending on demand in particular territories, as well as insurance lines, filters, and other factors. Your designated account representative can give you accurate distribution numbers for your desired territories, lines of insurance and filters over the last 30 days, and can assist you in optimizing your account setup to meet your individual needs.
Q: Can an independent agent set up an account with more than one insurance carrier?
A: No, we only allow you to set up one profile with one primary insurance carrier.
Q: Can I place a limit on the amount of leads I receive in a day?
A: Yes, you can adjust your lead limit online. To set a very low lead limit, contact your designated account representative.
Q: How do I put my leads on hold?
A: Sign into your account and select the customer service link. You are able to place an online hold on your leads for up to 7 days. You can release the hold online by logging into your account. You can also place holds on leads by contacting your designated account representative.
Q: How will I receive leads?
A: Leads can be sent to one or more email addresses. InsuranceLeads.com is integrated with most major lead management systems and rating software, so in many cases you can receive leads directly into your system without any manual data entry. Leads can also be sent via XML or text message. Call your account representative for more details.
Q: Will I receive leads with bogus or disconnected phone numbers?
A: Our Quality Control system screens out gibberish on applications, bogus leads and disconnected phone numbers. However, if a bogus lead slips through the cracks, we have a liberal credit policy. Credit requests are verified by our live operators to confirm whether a lead could not be contacted or did not request a quote.
Q: How do I request credit for a lead?
A: Requesting credit is easy. Every lead has a link you can click on to request credit. We have no limit on the number of credits you can receive, but be sure to check our credit policy for guidelines.
Q: How long will it take to receive my credit?
A: Credits are usually processed within 48 business hours.
Q: I received the same lead that I already purchased from another service; will I be able to get a credit for this lead?
A: A prospect may submit a quote request on multiple websites. We have no control over this and do not offer credit for duplicate leads received from other services.
Q: What does it mean when a credit is declined for the following reason: "The quality of the lead has been verified (call)" or "The quality of the lead has been verified (email)?"
A: If you want a credit because the prospect never requested a quote, we call or email the prospect again to confirm their interest. A credit is given only if the prospect confirms he or she was never interested in receiving a quote. If the prospect indicates he or she was interested, then the credit request will not be approved. This type of credit request can take longer than 48 business hours since we need to get in touch with the prospect directly.
Q: Will I be notified if my credit request was approved?
A: Yes, we will notify you by email if the credit was approved. The link on the bottom of the lead will also contain information about your credit request.
Q: How do I cancel my account?
A: You can discontinue your service at any time by clicking the customer service link and selecting "request to cancel account". Your cancellation request will be processed promptly, or once you have used up your remaining balance if you selected that billing option. We process all cancellations on weekdays between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, excluding holidays.
Q: What are your business hours?
A: We are available weekdays, Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time. We are closed on weekends and national holiday observances.
