Old P&c Agent Looking to Do Final Expense Over the Phone

[guiedojim]

I am a agency manager of a p and c agency. I am looking to do something on my own. I previously owned(allstate), sold, and moved due to child's medical issues. I did well at one of the big name companies, but didn't want to do the captive again. I would like to do final from my home and have been researching the forum. UNFORTUNATELY I don't have a large bankroll for leads and I don't mind reduced commissions in trade for leads. I'm hoping I could do it part time and build up enough to transition to full time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why not just contact your current customers for med sup and life insurance?

That would cost you just about nothing.

I'm the manager for an agent and I want transition from this job to my own full time.

Doing FE by phone is no easy endeavor. I would highly recommend that you avoid this pursuit unless you can find an IMO who can provide you with rock solid training and support. Training is key.

The main issue I see for you is that you have a full time job and you would need to do this part time to start with. FE by phone isn't easy, and in my years of doing it over the phone, I have never once seen someone do it successfully part time. I personally have tried doing it part time and it didn't work out. Only with a full time effort (40 hour per week with at least 35 hours on the phone), am I or my agents successful. In my experience, its full time or no time.

If you are really committed to doing this by phone I would recommend you start by cold calling for leads. After you make a couple sales from cold called leads, then buy leads or get them from your IMO on a reduced comp.

There is a really really good reason many many try phone sales and fail. It is not a simple as 1, 2, 3.

O ya and did I mention that training is uber important. Cant stress that enough.

GL out there bro hope this helps.

I will probably wait and see about doing full time.

you need to tell every PC client that you will do a free life insurance quote with every policy.
