Hello! I am going independent! This is very exciting for me! I have been selling health insurance (from limited benefit plans to short term medical to accident plans to critical illness to Obamacare under United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna/Coventry as well as dental and vision) since 2009 under various different agencies. I have experience on the sales floor as well as the customer service and verification departments. I'm setting up shop in my home. What computer should I purchase for my business? I noticed all the agencies I have worked for have all used Dell desktops. Is this suitable? I plan to use my cellphone as my business phone. My company will consist of mostly phone sales as this is what I have my experience in and have been successful at. Will starting with a cellphone be okay? Or should I invest immediately in VOIP? Also, is it okay to start without a dialer? I have used numerous dialers during my six years of working with agencies. And, what CRM do you recommend also? My start-up budget is modest. I have my appointments with the carriers. I'm using two leads companies and I will also drum up business through social media as well as good old fashion networking. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated!
