Review Of HometownQuotes
The following article is a review of HometownQuotes.com...
Frankly, we had not heard of HometownQuotes.com before and we
were not looking for another lead generation to review. But one of our subscribers
shot us an email a few months back and told us that we should take a look at
them because he was having great success with their leads. Here is the review...
According to our research, the close ratio on HometownQuotes.com leads is as
high as 30% (this is very good for insurance leads). Some agents taking 'higher-risk'
leads, is only around 12-15%, but the premiums are higher and the leads cheaper.
Says Matt McWilliams of HometownQuotes.com, 'Some of our agents taking
lower-risk clients have higher close ratios (around 30%) but lower premiums.
Some agents are happy with a 15% close ratio as that may be good for their target
market in their area, whereas others need it to be around 25%.'
Why Their Leads Are Easier To Close
HometownQuotes is known for being a lower volume source than some
of their top competitors. According to HometownQuotes, this is because they
focus on marketing that produces higher quality leads. Their top competitor
focuses on volume which produces more leads, but the overall lead quality is
poorer than they should be.
Says Matt McWilliams, 'The one story I can pass along with exact numbers comes
from one of our agents in Ohio. This agent showed us his spreadsheets for the
months of July and August. It compared our leads with those of 3 other sources:
In total he received 141 leads from us and 517 leads from the others. He wrote
one less policy from our leads than the others combined. 46 to 47.'

Here are some agent testimonials. (The testimonial from Paul is not on the HometownQuotes
website. It is specific information we asked him to share with you, and he has
no ties with HometownQuotes.com):
"HometownQuotes has had the
highest close ratio of any of the companies I work with or have worked with
in the past. To date, I close about 31% of my the homeowners leads, 23% of the
auto leads, and I'm not sure about the renters leads, but its actually higher
than the homeowners. Also (and I admit it may have a little to do with my relationship
with Matt), their customer service is by far the best. I have had a hard time
even getting some companies to return a call or help me out. They have gone
out of their way to help me."

"I just wanted to say that the leads I received from your company were excellent
quality! They are better than any other leads I have received. Thank you for
the great service!"

"Thank you so very much for all
of the help you have provided. Without you, I honestly may have given up on the
leads business and maybe even the insurance business a long time ago. It's been
a true pleasure working with you. Thanks for putting up with all of my questions
and for always offering a helping hand and great advice. Last month, we wrote
more policies off your leads than all other lead sources combined...and spent
1/6 as much. Just awesome guys!"
