Why not do both?

Work the Call Center 2 days a week and work for yourself the rest of the week?

Many people here can get you decent contracts with Life and Health companies - just ask . . .

call center wants 40hours a week, and from what ive noticed people are usually burned out after making 200 calls a day...

alright, so far from reading I see that goldenrule, aetna, assurant and humana are the big players for individual health..what are the big differences in all of them? Also is there anyway to sell BCBS?

Any other agents want to chime in?

You can hire me on a consulting basis...think of it like "piano lessons" for health insurance - but I only take on one pupil at a time. Send me a PM if you're interested.

PS - Blue Cross - no. But there is one important thing to know about their coverage when selling against it...

Focus on one product line, get with a mentor, become a sponge and be teachable and willing to learn. God gave us 2 ears and just one mouth for a reason 'eh . . .

Good Luck!
