Lead type comparison

Aged life insurance leads vs fresh leads vs MakeForms verified.

Most life insurance agents start with aged leads because they're cheap. Then they move to real-time purchased leads. Then they figure out generating their own is the end state. Here's the honest comparison so you can skip the first two steps.

Metric Aged leads ($3-$10) Fresh purchased ($30-$80) MakeForms verified ($40-$75 CPL)
Exclusivity Sold to many Sometimes exclusive 100% yours
Phone verification None None OTP — 94% real
Contact rate 10-25% 50-65% 89-94%
Health pre-qualification None Rarely Built in
TrustedForm / TCPA cert Vendor's cert, not yours Depends on vendor Your cert, every lead
Age / smoker pre-screen No Sometimes Always
Cost per contactable lead (real) $20-$100+ $60-$160 $45-$85
Product-specific forms Generic Generic Term, whole, final expense
Real contactable lead cost = CPL divided by contact rate. At 15% contact rate, a $5 aged lead costs $33 per actual conversation. At 91% contact rate, a $60 MakeForms lead costs $66. But the MakeForms prospect already passed health pre-qualification. The aged prospect hasn't.
The life insurance differentiator

Qualify intent before the lead reaches your CRM

Most forms focus on generating as many life insurance leads as possible, but volume means nothing when your agents spend half their day calling fake, disinterested prospects. With MakeForms you can create multi-step qualification flows to guide prospects one question at a time. Our forms can filter leads by age, smoker status, health tier, and policy type before the lead ever reaches your agents.

Form field guide

What fields should a life insurance lead form have?

Most life insurance forms ask for contact details too early, which is exactly why agents end up wasting time on bad-fit prospects. A high-performing life insurance lead form should qualify health, age, coverage intent before the phone field ever appears.

The rule is simple : qualifying questions first, contact fields later. If a prospect doesn’t meet your underwriting or product criteria, they should exit the flow before their lead ever reaches your CRM.

Life insurance lead gen FAQ

Questions life insurance agents ask before switching.

How do life insurance agents get leads?

Most life insurance agents get leads in one of three ways. Some buy aged leads for $3–$10 each, but those are usually sold to multiple agents and often only convert at 10–25% contact rates. Others buy fresh leads from aggregators like EverQuote or QuoteWizard, where pricing ranges from $30–$80 per lead depending on exclusivity. More experienced agencies usually move toward generating their own life insurance leads through Meta or Google ads connected to a qualification form. While CPLs typically land between $45–$75, the leads are exclusive, health-prequalified, and often see 89–94% contact rates when OTP verification is enabled.

Where can I get leads to sell life insurance?

You can buy life insurance leads from platforms like EverQuote, QuoteWizard, NetQuote, or AgedLeadStore. But many agencies now prefer generating their own exclusive life insurance leads through Meta and Google ads connected to a form builder like MakeForms.

How do I generate life insurance leads without buying them?

Many life insurance agencies generate their own leads using Meta ads targeting homeowners, families, or people going through major life events. The key is connecting those campaigns to a qualification form that pre-screens prospects before they ever reach your agents. With MakeForms, agencies can qualify health tier, age, smoker status, and coverage type while verifying every phone number with OTP and capturing TrustedForm-certified consent.

What fields should a life insurance lead form have?

A strong life insurance lead form should qualify the prospect before collecting contact details. Most agencies ask about age, smoker status, health tier, coverage type, coverage amount, and coverage purpose before the phone field appears. The key principle is simple: every disqualifying question should come before contact capture. If someone is outside the underwriting range or applying for the wrong product, they should exit the flow before your agents spend time chasing the lead.

What is the contact rate on aged life insurance leads?

Aged life insurance leads usually see contact rates between 10% and 25%. By the time agents reach out, the prospect may have already purchased coverage, changed their mind, or received calls from multiple other agents. MakeForms-generated life insurance leads with OTP verification typically see 89–94% verified contact rates because the phone number is confirmed in real time while the prospect’s intent is still fresh.

How do I pre-qualify life insurance leads at the form level?

Pre-qualification starts by asking underwriting-related questions before collecting contact details. Most life insurance qualification flows ask about age, smoker status, health tier, coverage type, and desired coverage amount early in the form. Branching logic can then filter out bad-fit prospects by the time the phone field appears.

Does MakeForms work for final expense leads specifically?

Yes. MakeForms includes dedicated final expense lead templates designed specifically for senior audiences aged 50–85. The forms use larger mobile-friendly layouts, simplified health questions, one-question-at-a-time flows, and softer qualification language designed to improve completion rates.

Is buying life insurance leads worth it in 2026?

For most agencies, buying aged life insurance leads is becoming harder to justify. A $5 aged lead with a 15% contact rate effectively costs over $30 per real conversation, and many of those prospects have already spoken to multiple agents. But agencies spending consistently on lead generation usually see better long-term economics generating their own life insurance leads with qualification flows, OTP verification, and TrustedForm certification built into the form itself.
