Seems like you haven't moved beyond the same quest since mid-November. What Is the Best way to market MAPD to seniors
Your post yesterday was asking how to start an FMO.

... It would appear that you really don't know what you are doing. I doubt you will find enough gullible newbies here to fill your basket. I suggest you learn the trade before you try to bite off more than you can chew.

Tough love but spot on.

I don't think it'd be that difficult to find people who are gullible and would sign up, but the chance of success is low. You might be MUCH better off spending time working with a good organization and getting experience. There is nothing to say that you can't keep recruiting agents and start to grow a larger team, but it's a good idea to not get ahead of yourself. I'm watching some of my agents try to start agencies and they're getting pretty banged up. Having a team and producing leads is one thing, but running an Agency takes skills and experience most agents just don't have. If your serious about growing a team and eventually being a GA you should get contracted under an FMO that will train you and give you contracts that can grow with your organization. If you're having a hard time with that or want to have a more in depth conversation about this shoot me an e-mail and I can help. If the e-mail doesn't work just visit my website and send me a message from there.
 
Its amazing how arrogant people can be, you post two threads on a forum all of a sudden they all know your life story and where your at in your career.
Get a life ;)Ill live mine

If anybody would like to answer my first and original question, without an opinion involved that would be great
 
What was the original questions again?

Just trying to see if anybody with experience could tell me how to start a GA, and in November i was trying to see the most cost effective way to market ma's to senior's, but ive been running final expense for the past 3 years and after the new cms rules im not going to waste my time with ma's.

First, everyone here has opinions. There are no exceptions. That being said, some are more friendly and helpful, others not so much. Welcome to the internet! ;)
Second, if you want help starting a GA send me an e-mail with more specific questions. Some starter questions I have for you are how many agents do you have? Do you already have an FMO? If you already have an FMO, why aren't you going through them? What states are you licensed in? What products do you represent and what are your primary companies/products?

Send me an e-mail and we can go from there.
 
Contact an IMO and talk to them about starting an agency. You'll have to have x amount of agents under you with x amount of production before someone will give you a GA contract.

Some agencies wont care, they give out GA contracts with no problem.

What kind of GA operation are you looking to run? Are you looking for something that is just local where agents come into an office and use you for support/training? Are you looking to have agents in multiple states where you may not offer them too much support? Are you looking to do a combo of the above two scenerios?
The problem with your question is that it is too open ended. There are so many questions you should be asking about being a GA and alot of answers you need in order to be efficient with this. Why don't you give me a call and we'll see where you are really at and then move forward from there.
