Perfect Example Of Why You Should Door Knock Your Leads

[Life Hawk]

What is going to thin out the FE business is that leads costs are rising and most of the newer folks will need to be @Jose Arteaga unicorns right out of the gate to make the business cash flow or they won't be able to make it. Many IMO's are now charging upwards of $34 to $40 for leads that just a few years ago were $26 to $30. I recently saw that one of the FB vendors out there now charges $20 for a 21 day exclusive lead that will be resold after just three weeks! The FE biz has become saturated, much as the MP biz became years ago.

Why is it that a majority of IMO's who wanted nothing to do with Medicare is now pushing MAPD sales like crack? Eventually that too will become overrun with poorly trained imbeciles.

The IMO biz is as much a lead biz as it is insurance, imo. But, for an agent who is will to drive a bit and willing to door knock, lead costs can easily be dropped to less than $400/week.

I am moving in a direction that I expect to drop my lead costs to less than $200/month. We'll see how that works for me lol

The herd needs to be thinned... I work in that direction by replacing them out of the biz...

I never understood why few Imo's have skin in the game. I've seen some Imo's do this. Newby lets say Rgi raised you lead cost to $33 a lead. Why would you not hold the cost at $30 for your good agents your netting $30k plus a yr in overrides on? The name of the game is to have your agents netting the most so they stay with you yr after yr. I've seen some Imo's in the past for $100k of net and street commission charging $19 for fixed cost leads. Now there making 30% overrides.

Now isn't that an idea?

Helping agents with lead cost.

A novel idea.

I believe making a penny on leads you sell to your down line is a conflict of interest.

You must've not heard about our new program. Any agent that wants to sign up at 60% commission levels gets free leads based on his production each week. I heard about another IMO doing that and he bought an entire shopping mall to store all of his money in.

This would only be funny is the 90% of the agents at 60% didn't make more than the other agents at a 100%+.

I wonder what the opposite of an IMO buying a mall and employing 150 in support staff looks like?
