New agent starting out and a bit clueless. Looking for some advice

[Todd King]

Hey FinalExpense Dojo,

He was going to be providing the leads and I was going to get like 10 dollars per hour and 300 dollars per policy I sold. At first this all sounded great because I was imagining the lower cost of living in Costa Rica and the hands-on training to understand the industry better. I kinda realized soon that the pay was trash and I could probably learn in better ways.

I don't think it's a good deal at all. One of the reasons you get into selling Med Supps and Advantage Plans are to build up your renewals. If you never own the business, the only renewals you're building is your uplines.

Most agents can learn the Medicare side of things very quickly. No need to feed your uplines renewal business. It also sounds like you would be assigning your commissions, so when you go to switch FMOs, you may have a hard time getting a release in order to retain the companies that you'll need, which should be the more competitive ones in your area.
