| More often than ever mortgage brokers today
are looking for a higher quality mortgage lead (and that answer
may be telemarketing mortgage leads). But
it seems that qualified mortgage leads and exclusive mortgage
leads are coming more difficult to find. Many Internet mortgage
leads are being generated through spam and other low quality
mortgage lead generation methods. Everyday consumers are bombarded
with unsolictied emails asking them to fill out forms requesting
information on mortgage loans and refinancing information.
This method of mortgage leads generation usually yeilds poor
results. Mortgage brokers complain about the poor quality
of these unqualified, non exclusive mortage leads that have
been hit too many times before you even contact them.
So are telemarketing mortgage leads the answer
to this problem? Its safe to say the chance of getting a higher
quality, qualified mortgage lead with telemarketing mortgage
leads is much better than internet mortgage leads. With telemarketing
mortgage leads you at least know that the consumer has been
contacted and is truely interested, or was at one point interested,
in aquiring mortgage related products. Chances are better
with telemarketing mortgage leads that you will get better
quality lead.
Factors you should consider when evaluating telemarketing
mortgage leads?
Exclusivity of the Telemarketing Mortgage Leads
When purchasing mortgage leads you must ensure that companies
aren’t overselling the mortgage leads they generate.
The best telemarketing mortgage lead is an exclusive mortgage
lead, meaning you are the only person the mortgage lead was
sold to. Exclusive mortgage leads are more expensive but you
are ensured that you should be the only person receiving the
lead. If the lead isn’t exclusive find out how many
other times the lead has been sold. The more mortgage brokers
that receive the same lead the less chance you have of closing
the sale.
The Source of the Telemarketing Mortgage Leads
Find out what method the company uses to generate Telemarketing
Mortgage Leads. It is best if the mortgage lead made the initial
contact and then were called by the Telemarketing Lead company.
Watch out for leads that are produced through companies using
auto dialers to build leads databases. In our eyes this is
no different the generating internet mortgage leads by using
email SPAM.
Delivery of the Telemarketing Mortgage Leads
Find out what format the mortgage leads are delivered. Leads
may be delivered in text format, Microsoft Excel, email, etc.
Make sure it is a format you are able to work with.
Lead Timeliness of the Telemarketing Mortgage Leads
It is critical to find out how quickly a telemarketing mortgage
lead generation broker turns the lead around and delivers
it to you. Best case scenario, the lead is delivered instantly
(a real-time mortgage lead) and it is an exclusive mortgage
lead (only delivered to you). At a minimum you want to make
sure the lead is delivered in less than 48 hours. Otherwise,
the lead is less valuable and should not be sold at the same
premium as a real-time mortgage lead. The more time that passes
from the time the user requested information, the less your
chances of closing the sale to this lead. I've seen many cases
where users deny even requesting information. The quicker
you contact them, the less likely this is to happen. Hit while
the iron is hot.
In conclusion, if you can find a company that provides good
telemarketing mortgage leads at a resonable price and with lead
exclusiveity stick with them. Beware of internet generated mortgage
leads.
