!st year comm. are less than most other co.'s. But this is more than made up for with the chargebacks NEVER deducted from adv. comm. Helps an agent stick around and survive. Comm.% depends on what an agent or GA brings to the table.
Final Expense By Phone.com

Okay, brand new agent that has never sold final expense before. What do they start at?

70%, but only after a mandatory 3 day traing class. I have agents who were making over 1G their 2nd week doing this. Having PLENTY of leads at ALL TIMES and knowing the phone script cold is what makes this happen (as long as the agent has a great work ethic and is coachable).

No such thing , 8% return on mail. from 91' till now the best we got is like 3% . BS, and please run, run like the wind and keep your wallet in your front pocket ......Alex
Come on Alex, you can get almost as high a response rate as you'd like if you write the piece correctly. I met with a GA about a year ago who was very pleased with the 5% response rate they got on their Medicare piece, that's an unusually high for this area. Funny thing, he pulled out the piece and all it said was basically fill out this card to learn about the changes to Medicare. Using that generic of a piece is it any surprise people filled out and returned the card? The challenge his agents had with those "leads" is that the quality was replaced for quantity. Personally I'm a bigger fan of a lower response rate with a more qualified lead, but an 8% response rate isn't impossible, but the likelihood of the leads being of a reasonable quality is improbable.
Free advice to increase your direct mail response rates: Use the line "Each reply enters you in a drawing to win a free 60 inch color tv or $5,000 cash".

This thread was about FE not med sups. There is no way someone is getting an 8%, or even 5%, return on FE mailers. It just doesn't happen.

Why should one bother to try to convince you.. the point is, it cannot be done in this environment today. It was, however, done with frequency in Michigan through Mainstreet Powermail.

What does "this environment" mean?

You probably shouldn't bother since it can't be done. No way and at no time or nowhere did anyone ever get an 8% return on FE mailers.
Not in this century or the last century. Not in Michigan and not even in Disneyland. If someone told you they did, they lied to you.

If you go back a bit you'll see that Chris was talking about a Medicare mail drop to in NJ. Whatever you're mailing for, Medicare, FE, power chairs, etc, you can always bump your response rate by providing an incentive for the folks to return it. That being said, you're usually giving up quality to achieve quantity.
