A behaviorally scored insurance lead is a prospect record that carries a prediction, not just a name. Each DAITA DRIVE lead scores four things: who the homeowner is, why they buy (price, trust, convenience, or risk), when they are likely to shop, and which opening message fits. Agents call fewer people and close more of them.
Most prospect data tells you a homeowner exists. It cannot tell you the one thing that decides whether your call goes anywhere: is this person ready to move, and what do they care about? So agents dial flat lists at half-percent conversion and conclude cold outreach is dead. It isn’t dead. It’s blind.
Scoring restores sight. Our consumer research found homeowners split into four distinct buying mindsets, and the mindset changes everything about the call: the price shopper wants a savings number in the first sentence, while the trust-driven homeowner hangs up on a discount pitch but stays for a claims-confidence story. Same street, opposite calls.
WHO they are. Household composition, income band, residence tenure, and property profile. Context that shapes the conversation: a 5-person household with 15 years in the home is not the new-build young family two doors down, and neither should be pitched like the other.
WHY they buy. The dominant mindset driver: Price Sensitivity, Trust & Reputation, Convenience & Simplicity, or Risk Awareness. Our study of homeowners insurance consumers found price opens the door but trust closes the sale, and that consumers exhibiting both elevated price and trust signals convert an estimated 35–50% better than consumers responding to price messaging alone.
WHEN they’ll shop. A predicted shopping window: hot (0–90 days), warm (4–12 months), or long-term. Timing is the most valuable operational variable in prospecting. Hot-window homeowners get called first; warm ones get nurtured; long-term ones get mail and patience. The window is the work order.
WHAT to say. A recommended opener matched to mindset. Price-driven: “See if you could save on your homeowners insurance without sacrificing protection.” Risk-aware: “Protect your home and finances from unexpected events.” You stop guessing in the thirty seconds that decide the call.
Shopping windows are modeled from behavioral signals, household characteristics, and market triggers, then expressed as a probability window rather than a guess. This differs from an x-date list, which infers a renewal month from the home’s purchase date and never updates. A prediction ages like a forecast; an x-date ages like a rumor. See how predictive timing differs from an x-date.
Profiles are compiled from 40+ licensed data sources, verified on a rolling cycle, and scored before delivery. Every file ships with a dated scrub certificate covering the federal Do Not Call registry, 11 state registries, and known-litigator screening.

A shared internet lead is a form fill sold to 3–4 competing agents at once. A scored lead is exclusive prospect data with predicted timing and messaging attached. The shared lead has stated intent but heavy competition; the scored lead has modeled intent and none.
No. An x-date infers renewal month from the home purchase date, a static proxy that never improves. A scored lead predicts actual shopping behavior from current signals and refreshes monthly on subscription.
Yes. Captive agents at State Farm, Allstate, and Farmers use DRIVE leads the way many use x-date lists today, with better timing and a compliant, manually dialed workflow that fits carrier rules.
No, and here’s the test that separates them. Data is defined by the warehouse: a person exists in a file. A lead is defined by your next action: who to call, why, and what to say. The DRIVE Score turns a record into a lead by that test, with modeled intent instead of stated intent, and an exclusivity no form-fill can offer.
