Postage going up another 7.4%. Legitimate dm has a few yrs left

See that's the problem with what's been said . We know jd and the FEX guys are the best on the phone . All we hear is all the training this and that . It's like having the best steak in the world but no one comes to your steakhouse . Every fe agent in every group I've read for years has said the same thing " Less and less people answer the phone yr after yr " . What we're focusing on is how Jd's getting 70% of his leads yo answer the phone hand dialing them. Also after all these years of a 100 plus dials a week how have your few #'s not been flagged spam ?That's understandable as seniors getting 5-10 times the calls as 5-10 yrs ago . I was at lady's house yesterday and she said got 7 calls in about 30 mins . The truth is nobody has any secret sauce to get people to answer the phone . The only way to somewhat overcome that is buy a ton of leads , have a dialer , have that dialer like kixie that rotates local #'s that aren't on the spam list . Double and triple dial , call at different times . Many of us are skilled at appt setting . But 99% of agents have the same issues. We get 15-25 leads a week and 40-50% will never answer the phone . It all pts to the same results . 98% of fe agents will never NET $100 k after expenses .

If you are letting you phone be flagged as spam, well that's the first thing you are doing wrong. Pretty obvious.

You should set your caller ID up to say Publisher's Clearinghouse Prize Winner Notification Department. See if that helps maybe?

Don I have said many times. You don't know what you don't know. You are just smart enough to think that no one could do anything in a smarter way than you. It's the ego problem that women are always saying we have that we don't ever see. And that is what holds you back.

It holds me back ??? lol . I guess me being at the top of the mountain I'm held back . I'll remember that . As I've said 1000 times I'll ride this horse till it's dead . We're having a conversation how jd's phone is answered and 100 k other fe agents aren't . You always turn the conversation to other agents are inferior

Stuff we do that helps pick-up rates:

1. Use Convoso (connection rates increased 300%+ after switching from our other dialer, filters voicemails out, scrubs your numbers clean, best dialer on the market).
2. If you're calling your leads to death, there's a point where the next phone call statistically won't pick up, thus is better to call newer leads instead (or focus on door knocking if you're face-to-face).
3. Texting. Use a text bot to initiate the conversation and to follow up, with the goal of agreeing to a phone call.
4. Use area codes identical to the prospect's phone number.

Stuff we don't do anymore:

1. No more triple dialing. Fastest way to end up on the Scam/Telemarketer Likely list these days.

Yes. He is going to stand on the truth.

The provable truth.

And if you want to discuss my truthfulness we can meet up face to face and have that discussion.

Oh how I would love that! However, I'm not driving out of my way just to hear you lie face to face.

You said it's provable? Then prove it.

Oh, and Newby can speak for himself. I don't trust you any further than I could spit on you!

You sound like that guy that said "if we were in high school he'd like to take Trump out behind the gym". Lol

Why are you trying to be a bully ? Be nice please.

I didn't even know that was debatable. I'm not saying everyone does 7 out of 10 every week. But all of our agents are trained to call and set appointments off their leads every week. And most do very well with it. Always have.

Are you saying that ANY of them do 7 out of 10 on a regular week to week basis and that it's the norm and not the exception. Of course, 7 out of 10 is a bad week according to your silent recruiter who is known to lie.

Looks like you don't have any system to have a higher pick up % per call made. That's because there's no system to do that. (Maybe Clearing House Contest Winner would increase pick up rate per call? But it would be hard to set an appointment or do a telesale when you start off misleading them with your caller ID...lol)

But when we hear 70+% higher pick up rates our brain associates that with pick up rate on the 1st call, without considering the idea of dialing multiple times before we get a call picked up. And are 70+% leads picking up the phone because you measure it over a 6 month period, rather than a one week period?

The only way to have a higher % of the people answer the phone is to dial the number much more frequently, which increases your chance of having a call picked up. That's how you get 70+% pick up rate. Out dial other agents. Boils down to hard work practically every time.

If I dialed 20 leads 500 times each in a one week period I'd probably have almost a 100% pick up rate, unless they were out of town, etc.

He's not trying to be a bully, he is a bully.

I didn't know JD started back being a silent recruiter, but I've had that hunch lately...lol. That 70% pick up rate is being tossed around by JD so new agents will join his team so he can show them the secrets....lol.
