Companies such as...

Transamerica
Afortus FInancial
FFL Acheivers
Symmetry, etc.,

have all been pitching me and I'm trying to discern through all the sales pitches for each. I have been fortunate to have a couple women (one from Symmetry, and the other from FFL) at least spend a couple hours introducing me to some of the terms in the "business models' which has certainly given me an insight on better more precise questions to ask. What is your take on them and more importantly, what would you suggest is the best place to start for me to not get hung up on something I'll be trying to get out of later with added difficulties?

I'm Fresh and New and Formable on this whole industry, I'm not looking for shortcuts, I am however interested in starting out smarter than to find myself in unneeded pitfalls later, I'm sure I'll make some mistakes along the way, but I'm definitely trying to pick some brains here.

I am looking for a company with good training and mentorship (the direction I go is wide open, considering I'm new at this, I am currently working on my "Life" license as was suggested to me, then to add others later...?" I am looking for tools where I can get in front of warm leads and appointments, I don't mind doing the groundwork of cold calls, yet I also rather put my focus on closing rather than more time on prospecting, at least initially. Considering I am new, I don't see myself spending on leads (especially since I know the drill on sorting through numerous calls on a dialer to get that "one interested customer" to get to set an appointment with). Again, I don't mind the grunt work, but I am in a stage where I'd like to focus on the training, being mentored, closing, growing.

That said, I would also ultimately like to work independently and own my own book of business, I don't want to get stuck in non-compete contracts, either in the beginning, nor upon exit between the firm and the insurance companies or to be be blocked on dual contracts.

Am I asking for too much here? If, not, what's the best way to get started and best direction to go?

Also, what do you know about a company called "Final Expense Contracting"

Sincerely,

Misty

You should be getting your health license along with your life license. Later down the line you will probably regret not getting your health license.
