Joy,
I had a similar situation happen to me also, not with Zipsearch, because I wasn’t not buying from them at the time, but from other providers. I can’t speculate why, but I look forward to hearing this feedback if it happens on my watch. Trust me, I will be completely open to it. Like I said above, feedback like this helps lead providers improve and optimize their lead generation strategies. That is why when I was a lead buyer I tried to be as open as possible with feedback to my providers. I suggest that every lead buyer and lead provider be open to this feedback.

This is what Bill Rice had to say on this topic.

Lead Guru,
Ouch?Maybe, I guess. I see this as an opportunity for improvement and a positive thing. If consumers never voiced their complaints, like we used to do all the time, companies would never be able to improve. Feedback, positive or negative is the life blood for companies like ours. They help us grow. Most companies are far from perfect and have clients that were either not happy with their product or software. The smart companies use complaints like these to improve and that is what we will do. Thanks Ed for the feedback and thanks LeadGuru for being a joker, lol

We, too use to use Zip Search. The leads were good in most of 2006 then early on in 2007 they went bad suddenly. After working the bad leads for about 3 more months, we finally pulled out. The internet lead generation company we are using now isn’t much better. Would love to explore again with Zip Search but want better customer service when the leads are bad.

Ed,
I am sorry to hear that! As a Lead Buyer I have had many many experiences just like that too and I hate it. I am going to bring my lead buyer mentality and all the bad experience that went along with it and share them with Zipsearch so situations like this will be less likely to happen. Also, as a Internet marketer my goal has always been to generate the best possible lead and that is what I plan on doing at Zipsearch.

Not familiar with you Mr Critic. I have worked internet leads for 10+ years now and tested 150 leads from Zip Search last year and placed one policy. That is the worst lead/placed policy average I have ever tested. They never even called to see if I wanted to renew or ask me how it went. So, what are you bringing to the table that can affect bad leads and bad service?
