Facebook leads-BS?

[Tigerheat02]

Hi,
I'm a rookie in FE sales. I bought 25 Facebook leads from a company that appears to be reputable to get started with. I've ordered direct mail leads, but I expect that to take several weeks.

I received 21 Facebook leads in under two days. I've blown up the phones and almost no one answers. Three people have answered so far out of hundreds of calls. I've set one appointment so far, and many of the phone numbers are fake. I've tried calling at 9am, 10am, and in the afternoon. I triple dial every number each time.

I'd love some guidance on how to better approach this.

Your upline should be training you on this.

Many will dispute what I'm going to recommend. Just go door knock the lead with lead in hand.

You've got nothing to lose. No better way to get your feet wet,break in.

You are correct,nobody answers the phone. Correction: Maybe 20%.

They are looking at their caller ID and when they see your number and don't recognize it,they let it go to voicemail.

Is your upline not training you? Are you wanting to sell by phone or face to face?

JD,
I'm only interested in face-to-face. I don't really have an upline, so I'm figuring this out on my own. I am calling all these leads multiple times and am going to door knock them now.

I would advise to get an upline and get training. It can only help.

FEX trains agents to call and set appointments. And most FEX agents are doing great setting appointments with the people that others say "never answer the phone". Again, it's a learned art.

But for now I would go DK those leads you have. I've never used Facebook leads. But from what I hear from others they are not very good. OK as a filler. But not your primary source.

Most paid leads are some version of bogus. Some 100% Bogus, Some 99% Bogus, Some 90% Bogus, Occassionally they are only 50% Bogus, if you are lucky. That is why referrals and self generated leads rock.

Simply not the case with DM leads for FE. Definitely not the case for my MP days with DM leads either.

No idea on other lines. I did work some DM leads for Medicare once upon a time. Plenty of gold in there too.

Seems to me Facebook leads were a lot better quality back when Lee was offering them for $35 a pop! But then everybody and their mother came out with FB ads courses, and here we are! About as hit or miss as a tele marketed lead. And sometimes you just get a bad batch. A one-time order of 25 is not enough to determine whether the leads are good or not.

Oh, and pick up rate is so bad these days, even when dialing with clean (non-flagged) caller IDs, you better learn how to give good voicemail.
