I don't think any experienced agent would pay you $100 for a lead. You have been in this business... what? Maybe a year now. I don't know if you would know a good lead from a bad lead, and I can't imagine that any agent would be dumb enough to send you a C-note for it.
If you want to give away leads, what you need to do is cultivate some relationships with agents in areas outside your area whom you feel you can trust. You can never be sure, but my bet is that your instincts are better than you think they are. Find three or four agents who are interested in doing a split with you and interview them on the phone. Ask about their background, who they know who will vouch for them... etc. Even in large cities in CA, the agent community is not that large such that you can't find out about someone fairly easily via a few calls. I'm sure it is no different in a small state like VA.
I guess what I really don't understand is exactly why you can't do what it is you do over the phone. I write health, life, and supps every day on the phone... with clients hundreds of miles away from me...whom I never see. What is the big deal? Are you dealing with 7-figure clients who MUST see you? If so, take the drive! If not 7 figures, just learn how to sell over the phone. It's not exactly rocket science. If a liberal like me can do it, don't you think a brilliant neo-con can do it as well?
