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.

GBBurning Dollars Step 1. Simply take your money and place it in a trash can outside of your office. Step 2. Add generous amount of gas. Step 3. Throw match into the trash can. Step 4. Enjoy. The customer service was generally good, however the quality of the leads was terrible. We have had better success using xdates which we have purchased for pennies compared to 30 dollars for DataLot. Many of the leads were not qualified properly and some seemed confused as to why were connected. Long story short, enjoy burning your money.

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 usually don't write reviews because I… I usually don't write reviews because I don't have time. I have to speak my mind about Datalot. They prey on lower socio-economic people. Every lead I have received has been on SSI income or no job at all. There bidding system is very suspect based on the other agencies I have spoken with. I have been using leads for years and this is by far the most suspect service in my opinion.

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.
