One bit of advice. Thoroughly and carefully read and understand the contract. Sometimes these deals reduce the salary each month by the amount of commissions you are expected to earn. If you aren't making your quota you may find your income dwindling alarmingly.

I know if I were providing leads and a salary a producer would have to net me multiples of that amount. Also cancel all outside contact. And I would own the business.

I worked there. Hated it. Most, if not all, of the inbound transfers were promised free phones, rent assistance, etc. I'm not going to go into details but in my humble opinion it was by far the worst company I have ever worked for in any industry.
If you are looking for a base with free incoming leads, I'd recommend AccuQuote. I worked there for a while before deciding to go independent and it wasn't bad. Anyplace with a salary and "free" leads is going to micromanage you to some extent. AccuQuote was no different, but the commission structure was much more aggressive than Insurance Supermarket and it was a pretty easy schedule.

An old colleague of mine said pretty much the same thing. A lot of 'bait and switch' style leads with unrealistic targets to hit. While free leads and a salary are always nice and comfortable, it usually comes with a hefty cost.

There were so many problems that appeared after training. I looked up their home office address in Miami and found that it was just a WeWork style mail drop set-up. The parent company is based in Canada. That doesn't mean much on its own, but when combined with the plethora of other red flags, I decided it wasn't a place I wanted to be associated with.
The guy who led the training at the time was as solid as they come, but he left shortly after I did with similar concerns.

Wow, thank you guys. I'm not slated to start to 11/14 so I'll check out AccuQuote. I've been independent for years but my lead cost are so high right now I thought I'd take a cut in commission for better leads and a solid company. Any ideas on lead vendors for Mortgage Protection or FE?

I personally have a great experience using agentadvantage.io and speakeasyleads.com for both final expense and mortgage protection. Only vendors I've found that have been consistent in the quality of leads.

Are interested in a list of people that own some insurance already?

Thank you for your replies, now I'm ready to stay independent as the word "micro managed" just made my skin crawl. I'll check out the lead vendors that were suggested and stay in the game. I know everyone is doing tele sales but I'm old school, knee cap to knee cap and being female certainly has helped lol. Seriously though, has anyone successfully made that transition from f2f to selling over the phone?
