GBI was informed that leads would cost less I was informed that leads would cost about $60 for standard (healthy) individuals, but then no leads came in for over a week. I kept raising my price until I finally got anybody and it was costing $120 per lead and most were bordering on homeless or drug addicts. My rep told me that because of my 'filters' I would have less leads, even though he stated that it should be higher during our onboarding. In the end, the only real filter I have is that they are not with a terminal illness. Kathleen Shugg sends generic emails pretending to care and asks how she can help. However, when I reach out with concerns she simply states that she cannot really help. Total scam of a company. I even messaged the founders on LinkedIn to see if they would defend the company's actions. They never responded.

GBCustomer service is Great I will give… Customer service is Great I will give them that. The sales people make great promises that don't show up in the quality of calls. The calls are the lowest quality of calls that I have seen yet. Most of the customers you cant understand or they think there getting 40k in free insurance. I was paying $101.00 for a lot of the calls and you get somebody on the phone that cant even hold a conversation. Ten calls not one person worth a $5.00 lead...

GBTried this service for the first time… Tried this service for the first time and it was clear the quality of people they sent my way where all high risk - more than half did not meet the filter criteria that was agreed upon - the issue I found was once you have signed up they will through the world at you and then you have to fight with them to get your money back because they sent you bogus prospects. They just proved to me that purchasing leads is doing business with a vendors that scam you with desperate people attempting to find cheap insurance. Besides if folks are shopping on price only - you will loose them next price increase -

GBFake Algorithm for bidding Datalot has a developed a ponzi scheme on the bidding for live leads. We thought it was just a phase, but we set up a control group where the new clients were enticed with low live transfer costs. Jean was more than happy to assist them. Shortly after, they were winning bids within the same states as despite our team having a bid higher by $27! Such fraudulent bidding is grounds for litigation. We have decided to leave them as a result. Others should consider the same after taking advantage of their bias towards growth, which is more than likely a desire to sell off the company to another larger business entity. Don't believe us? Check out the pedigree of the board.

GBQuality of Live Transfers Has Gone Downhill Quality of Live Transfers has gone downhill and, yet, cost per lead has gone up. I was warned about this happening with Datalot by other former users. For the first 60 days you have an on boarding account manager, which worked out well. Bogus live transfers (immediately hung up, mentally incompetent, etc.) were immediately refunded by them. Now that we have been using them for 60+ days we get transferred to a new account manager and most replies are about how they cannot help with a refund or that they are beyond the scope of what is refundable because the lead "passed" the questioning with a customer support rep. How ironic that Datalot doesn't seem to mind billing for ANY live transfer with a pulse, but the moment we ask for a refund on a bad lead it outside the terms of service. If Datalot wants to keep their clients then it might be prudent to weigh what value they bring to their business revenues. An occasional refund for a completely bogus lead shouldn't be such a hassle. Rather, it should be considered essential for quality customer service.
