I think one of the main problems with recruiting is that many agents do not really know what it takes to be successful. Agents fail at writing, so they think they can build instead. Most agents that fail in the field, fail because of bad work ethic. I had a guy tell me that he wanted to start building so he could have more time off and spend more time with his family. That is the absolute opposite of what building is. In December, I had over 80 hours of TALK TIME on my phone. That is not counting emails/texts/face to face training/building cheat sheets/etc.
If you want to build a team so you can work less, find something else to do. If you are willing to work MORE to have the lifestyle you want for your family, then building might be a fit.
Also, most people that build are not being trained how to properly do it. I will probably talk to 15+ new recruits TODAY alone and I will turn down 12-13 of them. If you want to just get agents CONTRACTED, you could get 100+ per month. That will do nothing but cause you a ton of work and no real money. You have to have a system that gets you on the phone with enough people per day so you can pick the people that are the right fit.
They have to be coachable, have work ethic and be able to manage their money. If they are 54 years old and do not have enough money to buy leads, they have a MONEY problem. Contracting them and getting them to work "free" leads or anything else will NOT fix their problem. That would be like saying the secret to help someone end a crack addiction is buy giving them more crack!
If you work hard and find the RIGHT agents, you can make a lot of money. Making 6 figures per month is very doable if you are willing to put the time in and have the right system behind you.
