HO Lead Distribution Frustrations: Uncovering Issues and Solutions

[chefkathy]

This is really frustrating me. I know that HO says that they distribute leads based on zip code, but I keep getting leads that are FAR from me. Another director (who is not exactly in my local area--hi Sue!) is getting leads that are 5-10 mins from me.

Can anyone figure out what is going on?

I KNOW there are directors who are closer to the leads I keep getting. Not that I don't like the business, but my most recent lead is a recruit lead and now there is probably no way she'll come to my meetings. :yuck::yuck:

I think it defaults to a certain radius and whoever is up next within that radius, get the leads. I think that's how it works...

I know Deb, My last recruit lives in Chicago (along the South Side Irish Parade Route) and she is doing well, and came to my meeting, but I do not know how long she will make the trip. I know you get quite a bit of leads that are just a couple miles from my house. Most of my bookings leads are either from Chicago or Tinley Park area, never from NW Indiana.

 

[chefkathy]

yeah, I did have just one lead from NW Indiana. Bizarre!!!

I just wish that I got more, sales, bookings, or recruits.......

But I agree that there seems to be no "reasoning" to the leads.....the majority of the ones that I do get are not what I would consider local to me.

I had one from Nevada not too long ago. That is at least good 3 hours minimum.

Now that you mention it, mine are always from the surrounding counties. I don't think I've ever gotten one in my city or county. That is weird.

I actually had one in another STATE, and no I do not live close to the border. Apparently the lead had transposed numbers in her zip code.

But some of my other ones are from towns that I have never heard of - and quite a distance....
