People Who Struck It Rich

For the courageous and daring who headed out west to seek their fortunes, many came away empty. But for those lucky enough to "see the elephant," their lives were forever changed.

Here are some stories from The Prospector's Group customers who have "seen the elephant" and want to encourage you to strike it rich too.

From Elizabeth Bishop, Vice President
Heffernan Insurance Brokers

I don't write testimonials often, so when I do, it is meaningful. The Prospector's Group has consistently provided us with accurate expiration dates, contact information and documentation on conversations with prospective clients. That means they are saving us time and money, because competitors of theirs often falsify information simply to get paid on that prospect. We have been exclusively using The Prospector's Group over the past three years because they simply provide us quality information time and time again. Our hats are off to the team at Prospector's for helping us outperform our competition on new business.

From Tom Crowel, Vice President
Crowel Companies

We have used The Prospector's Group as an outside lead generation source for the past two years. During that time, they have shown the ability to ask probing questions of prospects, putting our sales producers in front of qualified leads only. They are truly professionals speaking with professionals, which is quite different from your typical telemarketing environment. Through frequent communications, they have become an integral part of our marketing plans, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future.

From Chris Lord
Sheeley Agency

I am very pleased with the services we receive from The Prospector's Group. Probably the most important factor is the professionalism they demonstrate when calling on new leads. I've not heard anyone ever complain that they weren't treated well, in fact, some clients have been disappointed that I actually show up for the meeting rather than the contact person. I get a tremendous amount of information to use prior to my visit. I've even had leads where they get me info on what sports teams the client likes! Most clients don't realize that they've been contacted by an outside firm; the callers definitely make it appear that they work directly in our office. They even get directions to the appointment!

From C. David Enders, CPCU
KEH Insurance Agency

Our firm has been working closely with The Prospector's Group for the last 14 months and our hit ratio has far exceeded our expectations. We have worked with other prospecting organizations in the past, and we have found The Prospector's Group to be unique in the quality of their reports and follow up procedures. We look forward to working with their organization on future projects.

From Carl Zeutzius
Union Agency

The Prospector's Group has been a strong asset to our agency the past 18 months. They are professional and excel at what they do. What they do is take the necessary time and energy on the phone to generate data and prospects that will help our agency grow. The quality of appointments have been very high and they take great interest in learning everything they can to help this process succeed. Our investment in The Prospector's Group will pay dividends for our agency for many years. I'm proud to have been associated with this organization.

From Conrad Hart
Cravens/Warren & Company

We ran our own in-house prospecting/sales center for a couple of years with only limited success. To save money and improve efficiency, we tried outsourcing to a prospecting firm with very bad results. Then one fortunate day in 1997, The Prospector's Group 'got through our telephone screening' and has since been delivering outstanding service. They have become the missing key to our successful sales center. Our sales costs are actually down, while our hit ratios are up! The Prospector's Group delivers on their promise of hot leads and appointments while working with you as a partner to your success. We couldn't be more pleased.

From Brian Barrick
B.A. Barrick & Company, Inc.

Just a note to thank you and the staff of The Prospector's Group on a job well done. We have worked with several telemarketing/prospecting organizations in the past and find the professionalism, follow-up and feedback to be superior by the team at The Prospector's Group. We have not only received more hot leads and interested appointments, but more information on the prospects to prepare for the appointment. The staff always returns calls or faxes promptly. I must say that if an organization does not want to be productively busy, they should not call on The Prospectors Group. This organization will do what they tell you; they will provide you with highly qualified HOT prospects, but you must be prepared to work.
