Duford Insurance Group vs. Digital BGA for Final Expense Telesales

[jdeasy]

Yeah, I have nothing but respect for Jeff as well.

I never started when it was just direct contracts for indy agents. I know the business has changed a lot since I started about 7 years ago.

At this point, I'm not even confident this is a business that is going to be fruitful for indy agents starting out. I think that boat is sinking. I hate to say it. It's just getting harder and harder, more saturated and messy.
I could be wrong, but that's my opinion.

FEX has new agents coming in regularly and killing it.

Many did start with other IMO's and didn't make it.

Are you feeding the beast that will one day consume your business?

Holy Crap Batman.

You almost put my eyes out with that one. But I did read it. May read a Sears catalog now that I'm through.

Seriously though, I read an article a few weeks ago about Integrity. Said that they're going to start putting quotas on us either this year or next. Ya'll heard anything like that?

What do you mean by quotas on us?

Not misinterpreted.

I do think you have misinterpreted @JRoot's post.

Most independents like me have our own systems. We don't need the rah rah meetings.

What Jeff is saying is simply that his IMO doesn't want you if you're just there to cost them state appointment fees and not produce revenue.

Digital BGA is for producer's, not belly scratchers or navel gazers or "talkers of a good game."

My interpretation is that Jeff could care less whether you are using his scripts or your own, buying his leads or generating your own, attending their sales meetings or going completely on your own. However, if that agent is not making calls and not generating revenue, then he'd rather release said agent freely to whatever IMO that agent would prefer to go.

But what happens when all the old people are dead?

Last yr I got around $60 k for all my Medicare leads . My cost of business outside gas was $0 for 2022 . I had a lot of back slapping how I'm the best and this or that . This yr if I decide I want to slow it down . They'll cut my lead money big and spit on me . That's the way this business works . If your upline makes no money on your worthless to him . Fe's a little different as your upline outside fronting you the money for leads till you pay for them has little skin in the game . Yes he has risk of chargebacks.
