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.
For most of 2018 and all of 2019 I worked mostly Facebook final expense leads. I also ran my own FB ads and generated my own FB leads until FB canc elled my ad account for some imagined slight against the matrix.
The leads I generated myself would pick up the phone and set appointments. Sometimes, believe it or not, they'd call me without filling out the lead form and I would set them that way.
However, the leads I bought from other vendors I door knocked. Like you, I found that they'd just didn't answer the phone, the numbers were wrong, etc. The reason many numbers are bad is because most of those lead forms auto fill, and FE peeps often find themselves using and losing their burner phones and prepaid calling cards.
I also door knocked my DM leads. Life was much easier for me when I stopped trying to set appointments by phone and just took the lead straight to the door.
If you want to dial and set, then you need to get yourself with an upline who can train you to do that.
There are agents who are very successful at getting these folks on the phone and getting them to set an appointment. I was not one of those people. So I knocked those leads. Door knocking works if you do it.
