I'm sorry for this question since I know there are similar threads, but I would appreciate any advice and input! I have had someone contact me that is a cold caller/telemarketer, and he wants to work together. Since I've never done anything like this, I'm not sure what kind of pay structure that is fair for both of us.
This is for Auto leads (might extend to home leads in the future). He buys aged leads, makes about 300 calls per day, and states he can get about 5 to 10 people interested in a quote. He would get all of their information, send it to me, then I would quote and follow up/bind the policy if interested. He would pay for the leads, I would be the producer and service the policies.
I never thought of giving renewal commission for a telemarketer since I would be the agent quoting, issuing, and servicing the book. Initially, he wanted 50% new/40% renewal commission, with no hourly or salary. To me, that seems ridiculous (the renewal commission).
We talked more, and got down to 25% new/25% renewal, plus $10 per qualified prospect he sends me. How does this sound? He is looking towards the future, and is wanting to build residual income. I have read of others paying telemarketers hourly plus bonuses, so not sure if anyone does commission. According to him, he is good at his job, so we would do a trial first.
Sorry for the long post, and again, I appreciate any advice!!
