I'm in need of some guidance and am hoping that someone will be able to steer me in the right direction.
First my background: I've spent the previous three years as a captive agent in a call center selling life and medicare insurance. I'm licensed in 48 states and feel that my phone sales skills are honed and I'm ready to go independent. My plan is to begin with a website and buying internet leads to get started, but I've no idea where to find an upline to contract with, what to expect of them for service and whether commissions are negotiable. Should I expect them to supply me with leads? If so at what cost? I'll be working nationwide so are there uplines that contract nationwide agents?
I've got a lot more work to do to get my website up and running and come up with material to post on the site, also a CRM, quoting engine etc but I want to know what my upline can offer before I dig into it on the chance that these too can be provided.
Any suggestions appreciated even if just a company name to contact. Thanks!
