Is this commission based only?
Yes, this position is entirely commission-based. This structure gives you the freedom to influence your earnings directly through your sales performance.
What commission do I start at, and how do I increase?
You start at a 70% commission rate. To increase your commission rate, you must meet specific goals for the amount of submitted approved business for two consecutive months. We provide a full commission ladder to all agents once they come on board.
Can you give me an example of how much I might earn from a single policy sale?
Yes, let's break down a potential earning scenario:
Scenario: You sell a policy where the client pays a monthly premium of $100.
Annual Premium: The total annual premium for this policy is $100 x 12 = $1,200.
Your Commission Rate: Starting at a 70% commission rate.
Upfront Earnings: You receive 75% of your commission upfront. So, 70% of the annual premium is $840 ($1,200 x 70%). Then, 75% of that $840 is $630, which you receive upfront.
Remaining Earnings: If the client keeps the policy for months 10, 11, and 12, you receive the remaining 25% of your commission. This is the remaining $210 of the $840 total commission.
How much do agents make?
Part-Time Agents: Ranges between $45,000 and $75,000 annually, depending on performance.
Full-Time Agents: Ranges between $75,000 and $150,000+ annually, depending on performance.
Do I have to buy my own leads?
Yes, agents are responsible for purchasing their own leads. We have our own proprietary leads system and guide you on how to buy quality leads to maximize your success.
How much do leads cost?
The cost of leads typically ranges from $6 to $7 each, with the price decreasing for older leads. We provide strategies and guidance on purchasing leads to help you maximize your investment and increase your chances of success.
What is the typical return on leads?
As a new agent, you should aim to at least 5x your lead spend, if not 10x. However, there is no guarantee. The return on investment (ROI) can vary based on several factors, including the age of the leads, your sales skills, and the specific products sold.
What equipment do I need?
To effectively perform in your role, you will need a few essential items. A reliable phone and computer are necessary for communication, managing information, and conducting business. A printer is also recommended, as you will often need to print out leads and needs analyses. Additionally, having an appointment planner book is suggested to help organize and track your meetings and tasks efficiently.
How old do I need to be?
18 or older.
