for Life ,Health and VA in Florida. I have been trying to do some general research before making a decision on which direction I want to go in as an agent. I received several "opportunities" after posting my resume' on monster. I attended a few presentations which is how I decided to pursue a career in L&H.
I have not committed to anyone, but I am planning to work with an independent agency that primarily sells US Health Group and targets small businesses. I met them on a fluke and rather than give me a dog and pony show he invited me to his business meeting and had me speak to his agents directly to make sure this was for me. It just seemed a lot more above board than the captive agent positions I was presented.
I have a background in management, sales and business ownership primarily in construction. I am ok with commission only compensation, and my family is not going to starve or miss any bills if I don't earn a certain amount for the next few months. I am in this as a long term career. So my questions are ...
If you were in my position, knowing what you know now, what would you do as your next step?
What type of compensation would you expect?
What questions should I be asking agencies?
Thanks in advance,
JS

That is why I was asking if it was NAA. When I first became liscensed I responded to one of their adds and they told me I would get "b" leads and would have to pay for "A" leads

Speaking of NAA, just for the fun of it, I signed up to represent them and I received my first leads this past week. There were only four of them . . .
Two were dated in the year 2006 and the other two were over a year old. So, if NAA tells you that they will provide quality leads so "you can spend your time selling", you had better check it out.

NAA was where I started. I too received leads that were 1-3 years old and previously worked. I was not happy with them. Im sure some people had great experiences with them. I was not given the support I needed and was under the impression that the leads would be fresher.
