Re: Having Some Connections

WHy are you going to buy me lunch one day?

I have no idea why I would buy you lunch, but since there are no places to eat in McDonough, you need to come to my side of town.
 
Re: Outsourcing Insurance Lead Generation

I use several sources and several channels to get Med Supp leads. I do appointments, shared internet leads and mailers. All outsourced. Works for me. I'd be curious to see where one can find $20 presets. I pay close to $30 for mine. I pay $380 per thousand mailers but I get a toll-free number, the list, and all postage paid with this DM company. The shared leads run me about $1.50 a piece. Curious to see how these number compare to what others pay>

Captive Vs Non-captive Agents

I know that each person or insurance agent has his or her own reason in deciding to be a captive or non-captive agent/broker. What are the advantages and disadvantages between the two?

For me. I started at John Hancock. What I got to start was an advance every week, training, other agents to speak and listen to. Why I left? Managers, Comp rate, needed more product options. And mostly "does not play well with others" And my "your not the boss of me" attatude. Plus they gave me grief for wearing my boots to those damned mandatory sales meetings.
 
Re: Captive Vs Non-captive Agents

I wouldn't choose captive for training. Most captive sales managers and agency specialists don't know ****, can't sell **** and only focus on waisting your time.

If you write a lot, both channels can be equally lucrative. If you write very little, you'll make more as an independent. My advice for you - and myself - is to just concentrate on writing a lot because once you do, everthing else kind of takes care of itself.
 
Re: Captive Vs Non-captive Agents

Amber i am sorry to call you out, but the the threads you start and the comments ive read from you are so basic most of the time almost like your just posting to post.
I notice that you are an appointment setter, are you trying to sell your service, and get your name out there (which your doing a good of, imo) if so why dont you just tell us about them, I for one would love to hear.
If i am wrong 1000 apologies.

I do have basic knowledge on insurance but not that expert with the products. Basically we do appointments settings on various products and this is one of the products that we do some qualified appointments with. You can check our site for more specific info. I am trying to increase my knowledge on insurance and also share our service with those who are interested in appointment setting marketing tool. ;)
 
Multiple Insurance Companies

Do you consider multiple insurance companies in your different insurance needs or would rather have one company for all?
