Ok, I am currently working for a small agency offering Health and Life products. I do not have an office, supplied computer/printer, or leads. My split is 60/40 their way. I have no problem with the owner, as he is a great person.
My question lies, however, with leaving and starting my on independent. I am intending to start with just ancillaries and disability, supplementing with Life sells. I am curious if it legal and ethical to, while off the clock, solicate business owners (that I already have a relationship with). With the intention to get commitments prior to opening up my shop. I understand the difficulties with looking for business this way, but if I obtained a few it would help in the initial start-up phase. By the way, I do have a non-compete and would respect and obide by the contract.
So, do you think this legal/ethical? Any viewpoints would be great.
Thanks!
