  1. Really like these new tips, which I haven’t heard of before, like the Market Leader, Inc. (LEDR). Can’t wait to implement some of these as soon as possible.

  2. Leads are great in digital marketing. It also helps many businesses by getting potential clients. And I believe lead generation is growing rapidly.

  3. Eric J says:

    I try not to purchase leads anymore but in the insurance business, it’s almost a necessity. I’m familiar with Quinstreet and Bankrate. The quality of the leads does vary by the company for sure and of course, the better quality leads cost much more… Thanks for the info!

  4. Health says:

    There is no shortage of lead vendors in the marketplace. I have owned a P&C agency and been in the Insurance business for 20 years. These companies are huge and some pay very well. I had a life insurance lead gen website and sold all the leads as I did not want to get appointed in every state. It worked out quite well.

  5. Jake says:

    Very informative about the different lead generation markets and the market leaders in each of the markets. I’m somewhat familiar with Quinstreet and Bankrate, but I wasn’t aware of the different domains that they own and use to generate leads. This article has made it easier for me to know where to approach in terms of selling insurance leads to them.
