Noah Reviews Leads: Aggregators and BS Churners

[INoahGuy]

I've been exploring a solid handful of lead vendors now and again. Obviously, take it all with a grain of salt as I'm new to the industry. Bottom line is, nothing will come even close to referrals, because referrals are king.
Anyway, I'll be adding my reviews for different lead aggregators as I test out new ones. There are a few that I've been happy with. Others, not so much.

Great lead vendors

• 404 not found

Good lead vendors

• Hometown Quotes
  • Solid leads all around. Read my review here

Okay lead vendors

• 404 not found

Bad lead vendors

• Any leads provided by Allstate lol

BS churners (avoid like the plague)

• LeadLogix:
  
  • Actual scam
• Aged Leads Store
  
  • Just don't. Not even once. Disconnected numbers out the *** and terrible customer service. Can't even warrant a review for these bast*rds.

Referrals can be a wide range of quality from waste of time to lay downs. Just saying Referal is not specific enough to get excited about.

Your lead reviews are like a kindergartener doing a book report on War and Peace.

Welcome to the forum.

My mother taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all, but I do appreciate your feedback nonetheless.

I was being nice. Honesty is the nicest way to be. Welcome to the forum! But a guy that's brand new to the industry reviewing lead vendors? You don't even know what you don't know yet. You need to be asking questions and searching for answers. You're green as a pea so far. And saying referrals are the best leads is generic drivel that has been passed from one bad recruiter to another for generations. It's not useful info. Confuses other entry level agents.

Plus this forum has exceeded its quota of Noah's. Ha! Just kidding on that one but we do have a very active and highly respected Noah. He sells by day and reads tattoos on go go dancers by night. Using the braille method I think.

Hey, I think that's fair. My best deals have all been from referrals so far, but you're right. At only a year in, I'm brand spanking new. Just trying to help spread awareness though. I don't see any harm in sharing what has worked for me.

Who's your contact at HTQ? I'll drop your name...

Who's your contact at HTQ? I'll drop your name...

I went through Joe and he made everything super seamless. You can also contact Mallory or PJ through customer service. They're both fantastic to work with.

Many years ago I used HTQ and they were better than most of the vendors. Two guys, one with an insurance background and the other had (I believe) an IT background.

I bought a number of leads and provided feedback. They invited me to come to Nashville and sit on their roundtable discussion.

HTQ was sold a few years later. I had stopped using them by then.

Most Choice leads (no longer around) was a local vendor I considered but never pulled the trigger on that one. A few years later a local law firm deposed me pursuant to a lawsuit. I declined but they pursued and I reluctantly agreed to be deposed. They were shocked when I said I had never purchased any leads. For some reason they thought I was a high volume client

I searched for Most Choice leads and got this AI response . . .

All good info. Anyone have experience with these vendors?

After referrals, self generated leads are the best and relatively inexpensive to generate if you know how to attract eyeballs.
