One of the number one fears of buying aged leads is that they may have already been helped. It is true that consumers often will push through and help themselves if they are not quickly helped online. However, this is exactly what makes aged debt leads an ideal combination. Debt settlement is typically hard to place and unfortunately a recurring problem.
Debt settlement is often a tricky sell. Most customers come with a tricky mixture of desperation and fear. You need to calm them both. This is where aged debt leads may have an advantage. Unlike other Internet lead types, debt leads seem to actually get easier to convert the more people the customer talks to.
Aged Debt Leads are Clients in Need
A customer that inquiries about debt settlement on the Web is probably trying to understand their options. Chances are they are already over their head and in a panic. They are not sure what a debt solution even looks like.
The frustrating part for an inquiring debt settlement customer is the more they look the more confusing a solution becomes. This is your opportunity with aged debt settlement leads–you can be the calm voice of reason. Your approach can be to sort through and educate the customer on all the options they have heard.
Considering this typical chaos and confusion thrown at a debt pinched customer, being the second call is an advantage. Simply structure your opening script to be heavy on listening and education and light on another debt consolidation angle.
Help an Aged Debt Lead and You Have a Client Indeed
In fact, when you are working with a debt settlement customer the more you listen the higher your probability to convert. This is especially true with a debt customer. If you inquire about their current situation and the debt work-outs they have already heard–chances are you will hear your solution.
That’s right the more you listen the more likely the customer is going to guide you to the type of debt settlement solution that they will be most comfortable with, the one that will work best for them.
The powerful thing about helping a debt customer through all this mess is the trust you build. You have walked them out of the confusing woods and set them on a productive path.
But, What If They Have a Debt Solution?
Unfortunately, debt customer often are not a one time customer. Most will come to you with debt fixes that simply did not work. Or, even possibly debt solutions that only made their problem worse.
So, just because you are working an aged debt lead never assume the client has been effectively helped.
Even if they have a debt settlement in place, do the courtesy of walking them through their plan and asking to include them on your debt tips email newsletter. Odds are they will need your help in the future.
