Just wondering what you guys think about this... I currently have a call list of about 1000 people and it has been very difficult to get people to call me back to discuss their insurance. Also these are the ONLY people I am allowed to work since I am in a captive situation where I cannot just write anyone. I recently printed off a list of all my "prospects, leads and clients" and decided to e-mail each individual a simple "trying to contact haven't had the opportunity to meet yet" e-mail asking them to reply or to call my office. I would slightly adjust the e-mail weather they were a client or just a prospect. So I started this and I did about 60 e-mails so far and I have to say I am getting responses about 13 so far but MOST of them have been "no thanks we are fine right now" or "not in the position to do anything I WILL CALL YOU when ready". I left some of these people multiple voicemails prior to going about the e-mail approach and nothing and it seems like people are more likely to reply to e-mails since it is easier to BLOW ME OFF.
Basically what I am asking is do you think I am giving them an easy out by using e-mail for a simple response or do you think I would get the same answer either way if I was calling?
PS - I am primarily pitching Life.
Thanks!
