Welcome to the forum!

This is YOUR business and it's YOUR career. A typical business "start up fee" is in the Thousands. If you don't have money to invest into yourself, then you will always feel like a hostage.

1. Get a job at McDonalds, sell your gun collection, walk US1, whatever it takes to get a few thousand dollars to buy leads.

2. Get a real mentor. You are way to green to do this alone, and you are obviously not happy where you are at, so move on.

3. Put your money where your mouth is and INVEST in your business. Don't expect someone else to invest their money into your leads. There will always be something attached to that.

I agree with everything except the part about selling your guns!! Don't do that lol

OK....I don't want to start any arguments, this is just one person's account of the process thus far...OK? Had to drive 2 hours for my first 2 ride along's, not a problem, I love to drive. Just pointing it out as you may be asked to do the same. Both times, person was great! Person made almost a grand in one day, almost 800 the next time. Saw it with my own eyes. And, that was based on MY 70%, not whatever that person would have made on they're(higher) commission rate. After that, as far as training, not so much, actually, nothing. Ride along's a all good and well, but say...2 hours in a quiet environment going over the finer details would have been great. If you, like myself have no experience in this field, the devil is in the details. Moving on...I was told that the next step would be to have a mentor ride along with ME this time, watching, coaching etc...very relieving to hear! One problem, it didn't happen. I was given 30 leads(B]Platinum[/B]...btw..$25 each for free and told to just "get out there" ....so I did. First day out sold a policy, second day out sold a policy, then the trouble began. Disconnected phone numbers, people had died, moved, or most commonly "I don't remember sending anything in asking for info". One of the best was while trying to set up an appointment, before I got to the end of my opening sentence, the person said "I don't need any insurance." Strange, I never mentioned insurance, as a matter of fact I was trained to NEVER mention insurance. How could they have know? Simple, this lead was "stepped on" multiple times, IMHO. It seems as though I was given a batch of VERY old, weak, used and abused leads. I was given the impression that this was a great "gift" to help me get started.....not so much. Question....why would you just kick someone out into the field with weak/dead leads? My upline want's me to sell, so he/she gets they're cut, right? Perhaps the answer is somewhere along the line of, let's put the least amount of effort and money into the newbie and see if he/she sinks or swims. So far, my total investment in myself (course fees, testing fees, state application fees, background checks, business cards, binders, folders, file cabinet, stapler, staples, gas for 2 weeks out, food...about $1000. My return on 2 policies sold? $349. We will see how it goes....

Might want to contact Spur City on this. He might be able to steer you in the right direction.
