As a marketer the best advice that I can give you is to go and speak to someone who has experience in this field. A consultation is all that you may need as guidance or to stimulate some ideas.

Toll free numbers are inexpensive. You can check out kall8.com or grasshopper.com . If your area has a large buy here pay here/special financing car dealership, make up short and to the point flyers with a toll free number that forwards to your cell or agent's phones. Ask the GM at the dealership if you buy the staff on site (usually 3-5 people) pizza one day a wk can you keep some flyers in a flyer container "at the payment window". Spend the 10 bucks at officemax for a good container. The dealership will not keep your flyers up for a day if the wind is blowing them everywhere. BHPH's like JD Byrider chains have on average 1000 active paying accounts that pay weekly and every two weeks. Not all pay in person, most do. Very cheap exposure to an almost identical market as folks that buy final expense. Good luck if you test it!

BS There are poor people everywhere. In the richest zip codes in California there are poor people. You don't see them but they are everywhere. They may be living with a relative. They may be living in a group home or section 8 apartment complex or even a paid for house. They may live off their investments but their earned income is low and they may show up on your list that you purchased of low income people.

I think the best leads are direct mail leads and they are expensive.

The best way to make money (30 years in December) is to modify the company contract have new agents sell for you giving them 50% upfront where you keep the remainder and assign all the back ends and renewals to yourself.

This sounds realy awful and I have yet to do it but it has been done in so many shapes and ways to me and others that I know, that I know it is THE WAY TO SUCCESS.

Sarcastic, sad, and oh, so true. You asked. Other than that just beat your head against the phone or run through dark neighborhoods at night waving a rate card and holding a notepad to ask if people on the street have a burial plan "yet".

Oh---and if you do use direct mail leads you "skim off" the good ones and give the leftovers to your agents...you know...the cards where nobody is ever home. The poor slob getting 50% from you then drives over to the house waiving the card and burns up HIS gas saving you on this unnecessary expense.

Burned and tired out today so the truth comes out.

Mania, i completely agree with your first statement of having poor people everywhere. If you look for a Final Expense agent position in the Beverly Hills area, you will find one of the highest average salaries in the nation.

I have tons of free ideas on www.rosenthalfiles.com

I spent about 5 minutes on this site and realized that this is a gold mine. I'm new to the business and appreciate this information. I'm going to share this with the other advisors I work with.
