Life Insurance Agents Opt-In Email List Mailing For Prospective Leads – Spam Has Gone Crazy

Life insurance agent email lists are in high demand. Insurance marketers want email address lists to find brokers, and agents want leads. Spam gone crazy is an understatement. There are thousands of insurance marketers who think there are real life insurance agent email name lists out there. Here are the misconceptions and the truths.

An Encarta dictionary definition of Cheap is inexpensive in price or cost, or lower in price than might reasonably be expected. The keywords mentioned with cheap are reasonably expected. Can you expect prospecting to be so cheap and the lower than reasonably expected price of sending emails to be effective? That’s like taking a cheap little bottle of bug spray into the jungle at night and being eaten alive. Using an email name list for insurance purposes will go one step further and bury you alive.

PROSPECTS PROSPECTS ARE AN INVESTMENT Are you currently investing in penny stocks or using a piggy bank to build your retirement fund? Quality leads that lead to sales and profits are the only way to qualify. So why do you refuse to understand that spending money wisely on prospecting is an investment in your future? Do you go to a casino thinking you are going to strike it rich with a penny or nickel slot machine? That is exactly what spam is. You’re throwing away thousands of pennies or nickels, wishing for the big payoff.

Just look at the thesaurus meanings for little money. They include contemptible, discounted, bargain price, shoddy, shoddy, embarrassing, inferior, second-rate, stingy, and substandard. That’s a great description for a purchased email list. They are the same words suitable to portray the company that sold you the agent email names. I hope these same words describe your competition and not you.

FOR INSURANCE MARKETING COMPANIES There are many money hungry companies you can find that can sell you a list of “life insurance email addresses”. FORGET IT. Since emails started I have NEVER found one after searching and searching. Sure, this is a list of email addresses, but not active life and health insurance agents to be delivered. They attract the same attention as doggy doo on your shoe. They are so bad that you will never receive a copy of the list. You would find about 15 to 25% life agents and the rest everyone else.

Want to send your message to insurance claims adjusters, front office staff, property and casualty agents, telemarketers, and hundreds or thousands of agents in the same .com location? What about the ones that no longer sell, or the fake respondents of company employees, or all the email addresses that go bad very quickly? Expect to pay on average around $65 per bona fide agent lead; however, you have no idea if the responder was qualified or really interested.

Beware of all lists derived from the Yellow Pages. I know of a couple of life insurers that have thousands of email addresses for their insurance agents that you can get on one website, all going to the same place. Imagine now that many of those 15,000 will be read and not deleted by the Internet hosting company.

INTERNET EMAIL GONE WILD A warning to agents on consumer lists using bulk email. Consumers are so tired of opening an email where they didn’t personally ask for it. That’s why at least 65% never opens. Also, what proof (a postage receipt) do you get that your consumers were ever mailed? Even if they do respond, they are just a costly suspect until you find out that they are willing and able to listen to your offer of insurance.

Emails can be a dime a dozen, and most inexperienced agents are worth a dime a dozen. You can test how valuable you are by looking at how much money you are willing to spend to find buying prospects and not ghost ghosts.

EMAIL LIST No matter what anyone tells you, when you’re trying to do an insurance email blast, this is the truth. NONE of the people, suspects or prospects you are emailing REQUESTED you to send them your life insurance message. If you personally obtain the email address of a person who wishes to receive a message from you, you are an opt-in prospect. You can legally send as many messages as you want, as long as the person always has the opportunity to opt out of your list.

Personal subscription email lists are extremely effective. Internet-bought insurance agent email campaigns gobble up your wallet and send you scrambling for Sunday search ads.

Money and insurance emails are like oil and water. Neither combination works, both seem cheap to mix, and when dished out, both leave lasting bad feelings.
