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.

GBTerrible Terrible, terrible leads. I wasted over 3k on leads through data lot. Most of the calls i received were people who were called from Datalot and were frustrated and asked me if I know how to 'get these guys to stop calling me'. They didn't even know the call was about health insurance. with my group of agents, using alternative live lead companies we produced over 3 million last year and with data lot 0 dollars-not ONE sale was qualified or credited from Datalot after spending over 3k. Do not waste your money here. There are other companies who offer people who are qualified and offer you to return calls or leads if they are not qualified (Datalot claims they do, but they must be severely sick to be accepted)

GBThis lead provider started out strong This lead provider started out strong. I was closing every other transfer but it did not last long. A month later and I am still paying $60 + for single line auto policy $350 in premium that lapse when the first payment returns. All recent leads have no prior or 1 month prior or something that obviously makes them ineligible. Guess what??? Not refundable since They say the prospect told them they had prior coverage. Asking if they've ever been insured before is not the same as, do you have 6 months of uninterrupted coverage?

GBAfter using this company on and off for… After using this company on and off for 5 years I have said goodbye! As Datalot grows the quality of leads and the quality of customer support has become pathetic!! I sent a few emails over a month ago to the director of sales here in Florida and still have not received a reply!

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.
