Thanks! And good luck for you too. Time for me to leave this forum for awhile and get back to work.

None. I'm torn between what I want to do.
I actually had to go back into retail for a bit to eat and pay all this money back. I know I have the brain for insurance, I just need a different game plan. I'm working on that now.
My demise began when I ran into the Senior Life and Lincoln Heritage clan. Of course - starting with the Parkers didn't help either.
Tom, when did this epiphany occur and what caused it?
When I went broke - quick . . .
I wish I hadn't been so hard headed . . .

I have been selling on the phone, out of my home (term) for allmost a year now. I have done ok but underwriting takes forever. Leads sources all promise the same and are very expensive. I am looking at "The Original Final Expense Telesales", and am looking for an opinion from someone who has actually sold for or with them, that is not trying to steer me in another direction. I am a paramedical examiner in the AM (for 15 yrs), and sell on the phone afternoon and eve's. I would like to know what this company will require in terms of investment and any other godd or bad info. from someone who actually works with them or has in the past. It seems like all the post I read on here are mostly people trying to recruit other semi-new (like me) or new agents. I could be wrong, I am new to this site as well, any non-biased opinoins would be greatly appreciated. Surely ther is room for success in all areas of this business.

Kevin,
All you have to do is attend their pep rally (conference call) where you'll hear (at the very end) the up-front costs to get involved.
Just make sure, with ANY opportunity, you're not paying more than retail cost for leads that you'll end up giving away to the organization to use in their own call room, like you will with them.
Also, make sure you're not getting less than 100% commission on final expense, phone sales or not, if you're buying your own leads. You'll get about 80% with them. They call this "Vice President Level Commissions", or at least they used to call it that.
Finally, as the experts on the forum will attest to, it is MUCH easier to make a final expense sale once you already have a relationship from having provided value to the senior before you're asking for final expense premium. Consider looking to provide that value by saving them money on something they're already buying, like their Medicare Supplement.
Doing so (saving them money first) positions you not only as the expert, but as a trustworthy person they have no trouble referring to other friends and family. Giving you their life insurance business is an extra bonus for having built that relationship first. Your persistency, return on investment for lead cost, and amount of referrals will all be sky high if you'll listen to that advice.
Best of luck to ya.. oh, and read the attached from someone who went with the "original telesales" last year as they relayed their experiences.
