Broke and Brand New

[smoffett]

I am newly licensed and broke as hell, I spent all my money on getting licensed! I was advised by my manager to join my local college alumni chapter, attend the local board of Realtors meetings, join a BNI and buy internet leads. I am looking for more ways to generate quality leads for free, if that is possible. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

smoffett - not sure what line you are marketing, but I have started out part time independent and made up my own set of fliers for health insurance. Started out placing them at approx. 250 homes, got 6 calls and wrote 3 deals. Figured that was not too bad. Have been going to business to business, but this has been a slow process so far. Are you familiar with your products? Its a must !! Any larger CAPTIVE companies in your area that can start you on a salary? Met Life, NY LIFE etc ?
Find someone to help you locally, it helped me !!
Good Luck ....

Do you have many bills? If so and you want to make it you better move back in with the parents. If you are already broke its going to be an uphill battle until you get a marketing strategy(s) down and learn your products.

Buying leads right now would be a bad decision...IMHO until you get some training and time under your belt

Free leads are the people you know and the people they know. That will about exhaust what is free when it comes to marketing. I will say this, if you have a business that you market through, you may want to look into getting financed through a bank. That's how I started, but banks aren't in the best place right now. Zip me a message if you have specific questions.

You should get a job that pays your bills first.

Then Cold Call by telemarketing or F2F .

You are not alone. Find an agency to provide free qualified leads and leverage the agency to get yourself started. At least you get some business with smaller commission. You should first exhust your friends and family first, since it is the free leads you have. When you on your firm foot, then switch to high commission and pay your own leads.

Damn Clint - 2:15 in the morning? Doing occasional health when I run into it, but mostly med supp's and FE. Could not deal with chasing after health prospects that rarely get OFF the pot and make sane decisions. Could not imagine doing health only with the way things are going.

Definately prefer working with people that NEED me.
