I have written a number of post regarding the movement of sales reps within the lead industry. Why you ask? I find it interesting to watch and make note of these changes because where they end up says something. Do you think that the more experienced reps are going to choose a company that isn’t going anywhere or that don’t have a solid product? Of course not, they are going to choose companies that have up side potential and that sell a quality product.
The same goes for people who choose to leave. Are they leaving simply for a change or have they lost faith in the company or product?
With that said LowerMyBills “very first hire”, from what I was told, has chosen to move on. Scott Shanker, whom LowerMyBills hired from GetSmart and who brought many of the large accounts that LMB still has. Accounts such as Quicken, Home Loan Center and Ameriquest were all created by Shanker.
My team generates the majority of company revenues; also responsible for the planning and deployment of all initiatives associated with the national client base. -Shanker
Shanker has chosen to to team up with Los Angeles based LeadPoint. For LeadPoint, which practically made up of all ex-LMB employees, this is a big catch. What’s in it for Shanker and why did he go to LeadPoint. Well, I don’t know for a fact, but I would speculate that they brought him on board to whip the sales team in shape and generate sales prior to the speculated liquidation.
There seems to be an ongoing exit of sales reps and key members of the LMB team. Moral is said to be lower than normal and I was even told from a lead provider that they had interviewed everyone at LMB except the CEO. Now this was probably an over statement but apparently the resumes are out.
This is clearly a transition period for many of us and LMB is clearly included in this bunch.

holy shiet. Great news though. Scott Shanker is one of those people I will always respect. He has always been good to LeadROI and me personally. I wish him only the best of luck.

Scott sounds like everyone else who has succeeded in the leads world. Build it, make it successful, and then find another place that needs to be built and made successful. Leadpoint will benefit more than they ever realized.
