I am at an agency that will not offer me any moines to buy leads or for marketing. I am looking to see if any agency owners in GB area are looking for an agent.
Well... first off you might need to change your mindset. If you are looking for a Just Over Broke (Job) then you are in the wrong business. You should have the mind set of a business owner not of a employee..
Secondly, who are you appointed with to sell (what companies). I would also have to ask if your agency will not give you any "monies" why did you sign up with them to begin with. Let me guess, they "promised" that you could make 100K working 20 hours a week?
I think you need to decide if you wanna "work for the man/woman" the rest of your life or do you wanna run your own Insurance business. If you chose "B" you need to spend an entire weekend reading on this board.
I am appointed with all the major players in the Green Bay area. I was a P&C agent with the company when the life/health agent was let go they offered me the book of business and told me to rune with it. The one thing they forgot to mention was that the agent that left did not have a non compete. He AOR almost the entire book.
I do think of this as my business ME INC. But I must rely on them for marketing money and they will not release any for the life health department.
ME INC, and how is that working out for you?? You do realize they "forgot" to mention the non-compete on purpose right? So, what would all the "major players" in Green Bay be? The "major players" does not reveal much information, what you consider to be "major players" and what everyone else considers to be "major players" could be very different..
Is this a nationwide agency or are they a local agency just in the Green Bay market?
If you have absolute zero money for marketing, then you will either have to start cold-calling or start going business to business..
This proves once again, always ask about their release policy upfront and get it in writing! before you sign anything!
clvndrocks,
I think that you are pretty full of yourself. Not knowing what I do. My attitude is great I am just looking for a company that will back me in what I am doing. If I had the money to go out on my own I would. But that is not possible at this time. So if you do not have any positive advice keep it to yourself!

You should re-read all of the posts because you are not listening. If you are waiting for someone to post what you want to hear you will have a long wait. The majority of the posters on this board will tell you the truth whether you want to hear it or not. If you are looking for a JOB try Careerbuilder or Monster.com. If you want help in building your ME.COM tone down that "good attitude" you think you have, put more effort in on your part (more searching in this forum), and cut the whining when a crusty old pro takes a swipe at you.
