How are mortgage leads generated?
All leads are generated through our consumer websites and through our network of authorized affiliates.
All traffic to our website is generated via legitimate and legal marketing methods such as search engine ranking, pay-per-click marketing, opt-in email campaigns, pop-up/pop-under advertisements, links to other loan-related websites, and our affiliate network.
Each of our authorized affiliates is required to sign an agreement stating they will not use bulk e-mail to generate leads. In addition, affiliates cannot incentivize leads. This means they cannot promise borrowers money, a free gift, or anything else that might persuade a borrower to apply without actually wanting a loan.We do not use telemarketing to generate leads. We can offer telemarketing leads if a customer requests them, but we have found that the lead quality is not the same as a legitimate lead generated online.
What is instant lead delivery?
Instant lead delivery allows leads to be delivered quickly to your e-mail inbox. When a prospective borrower's request for a Free Loan Evaluation becomes eligible for distribution via the iQuoteShop.com, Inc. lead database, you will receive the borrower’s information as fast as current Internet technology will allow. This will usually be within 5 minutes or less, depending upon Internet traffic, your Internet service provider (ISP), and your e-mail software.
Remember that when you choose to receive instant lead delivery, you will receive your leads at all times of day, 5 days per week unless you modify or delete your leads profile, or de-activate your leads account altogether. If you do not wish to receive leads on certain days, please select the BATCH LEADS option. This option will allow you to select the specific days and times you want to receive leads.
What is batch lead delivery?
If you wish to receive your leads only one time per day on certain days of the week and/or only at a specific time of day, please select BATCH LEAD DELIVERY. With batch lead delivery leads are gathered over a period of no more than 24 hours to fill your order. This means that some leads within that particular batch may be hours or minutes old while others may be up to 24 hours old. For example, if you wish to receive leads only Monday through Thursday, the batch you receive on Monday may contain leads from Monday as well as leads that came in on Saturday and Sunday.
