Chevarian: If I understand you correctly, you are concerned that you don't want to overstate carrier commitments? In what State are you operating?
Can't help you with L&H, etc. but for P&C, if this will help you, my experience here in Florida is that both the auto and the homeowner carriers are usually content if you will commit to writing 50 polices annually with each of them, especially in the first year. Just ask each of them their average policy premium in your State and then do the simple calculation based on landing about a policy of week with each of them. Of course, you can then project your approximate revenue from these numbers, based on average commissions. Then all you have to do is meet/exceed all the goals with each carrier ! You can do it with a good marketing plan to which you believe and adhere.
Just don't take on too many commitments early on...
Hope this is of some help for you.
Thank you PhilL. I'm not going for direct appointments but for a cluster or IMO when I do get moving, so I am unsure how much is realistic to expect for the reasons of overstating when proposing to this organizations. I am in VA at the beach. Our average HO is probable around 1200-1400 and auto is probably 350/ 6 mos. Your info is helpful, so thank you for taking the time to respond.
