Hey all, I lurk around here reading threads, tips, information all that stuff. I currently work directly for one of the 'bigs' in the medicare advantage market doing telesales. Not going to brag or anything cause I'm newer to this career, but I do rank well within the company with solid numbers
I've been doing some light research into going independent, and was wondering what if any resources you'd all suggest for me to look into if I decided to venture out on my own.
Obviously picking territories or areas, familiarizing myself with the companies, competition and compensation is on the agenda, but as far as properly marketing early, what kind of seed money, what are some halfway consistent lead companies, any and all pitfalls or suggestions you'd have for someone considering making the leap.
Plan is early next year to slowly start moving myself from full time here to part time and some independent work to maintain a stable income and test the water to see if I have what it takes to run solo haha. Main goal is to probably continue primarily doing telesales with some light appiintment/field work
So I know it's a fairly vague post, but any words of wisdom would be appreciated thanks!
