GBUnfortunately I could not rate this… Unfortunately I could not rate this without a star! Datalot sucks! I'm an insurance producer and was referred to this company for what I believe now was so that they could get an extra $100 for the referral. We paid $1000. What a rip off! Take your money someplace else. I'm in Northern California and all calls were coming from Southern California. They said they were going to fix several times and then I ended up getting no calls at all. The filtering is a joke! I was told if i paid top dollar for quotes $25 to $50 a lead I would get the best leads but what i get is a person who really did not want a quote to begin with or they have DUI, SR22, accidents and tickets, for life insurance, people that had medical issues, smokers and elderly people. Don't waste your time with this company they will tell you one thing in the beginning and what you end up with is totally different.

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.

GBWorst Company for live transfers Worst Company for live transfers! They have ads that misrepresent future clients by offering ads that say (YOU CAN GET $20 for $100k Coverage) and, the clients 73 years old. Very unethical company, and just pure degusting. They use unethical ads, and don't refund there customers for getting people they cant help due to their ads. They lie, and there bidding system is pure fraud. They make you keep bidding higher and higher to the point its over $100 dollars per call.

GBThis company was great when it first… This company was great when it first started. Now you are bidding a high amount for leads and they create a 1 pager that they have given new farmers agents setting unrealistic expectations in my area. My average call costs $70 and the quality is not as good as it once was. They have also are difficult on their return policy even though they might send you a mobile home or something that isn't related to your campaign. The only reason I am giving 3 stars and not less is because I have had a decent conversion ratio (25%) This is good if you already have an established agency with 2 Million in premium. If you know how to generate your own leads organically it might cost you less.

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.
