In an effort to save the Point2 community some hard earned cash, I would like to start gathering data on various lead generation companies.
The first one that I would like to mention/highlight is this Agentway.net. They offer a set up fee for $49/zip and then the leads are only $2-$10 each! Now before you go run over and sign up, let me tell you what else I have discovered.
I signed up with this company in August 2006 and since then have not gotten a single lead. In addition, over 20 other agents, who I have contacted or bumped into on the net have also NEVER gotten a single lead. Here is the kicker. The Set up fee is NONREFUNDABLE. I have on numerous occasions put "trouble tickets" in to this company only to be told that the leads are coming!!
So this morning I decided to step it up a notch and consider a class action suit for fraud against this company. I did the WHOIS to look up the admin contact and guess what...the email address is fake and the phone number goes to some hospital or hospice in NY (the company claims to be in Sunny FLORIDA :
AgentWay
7040-25 Seminole Pratt Whitney Blvd
West Palm Beach, FL 33470
Northlake
8895 Northlake Corp. Park
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
So, I've got to give the big THUMBS DOWN for this company as a valid lead generator! In fact, I think I'd like to get my attorney to give them another hand gesture!
