This is to folks who are or were captive, do you find your company name gives you significant advantages in setting appointments, or does it really not matter?
Have interest from NYL, Mutual of O & MetLife, and I know I'm crazy to consider leaving as as an Indy, but as I don't purchase leads, prospecting has been tough in terms of cold calling & door knocking without having a "name" I can attach myself too. Think there are just some people more at ease with working with an established company, even though I've let them know as an Indy I can work with those companies too.
New York Life recruiter claimed name alone makes prospecting about 40% easier, as long as you put in the work, any truth to that?
Not the most intelligent question I know, thanks for the input.
