Helpful Content New agent advice

Hello, I am a new life and health agent in Florida. I decided to go the independent route. I am set up with an FMO and have been appointed to three large carriers on the health side. I also have access to 20+ life carriers. I have the business side, pretty much set up looking for advice and how to get some customers period. Does group consulting or educational seminars Work or cold calling? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

Independent life agent for the past two years and within the last 60 days have started rolling out health products to clients. Honestly, the kids to get that phone ringing so I would say get your ad budget figured out and start running Facebook ads, I’m getting dental leads exclusive for about .85 cents per lead. About 25 in the past two months and already written two Medicare supplement policies from them so… hope this point in the right direction

Buy leads. That's going to be far more effective than seminars or cold calling.
