I'm sure you're right on the upline debt. I've seen it put many out of business.If only you knew the actual truth of how much debt most IMO's/Uplines are carrying on FE. The amount of agents that don't pay their chargebacks and roll it up puts most uplines out of business.
I can argue the exact opposite that many don't wan't a sales person knocking on their door. We hear that sentiment regularly. Realize that you're in an echochamber with your daily routine of working people responding to direct mail and there's a whole other segment of people who don't want someone in their home.
I'm sure you replace a lot of telesales business. We replace a lot of f2f business. It's not the method of how someone buys that's the issue, it's the agent in the house or on the phone that's the real issue.
I'm not so sure on telemarketers replacing much business.
Getting the other company on the phone while already on the phone?
Com'on man!!
Getting the surrender forms, stopping drafts, and then doing that multiple times on the same call if there's a couple or even more in the home.
You're talking a 2-3 hour phone call.
To do it properly. Or they could do like one I dealt with yesterday. Telemarketer just put the person in a two year wait and told them it was immediate. It was a replacement. But marked no to current insurance. Thus no replacement form.
Then called CICA and told them they were me and stopped the draft.
Certainly they can do replacements like that.
But they are getting a chargeback and a DOI complaint.
