Anyone here sell health or life insurance?

After my recent job loss and a close friend who's been doing very well at this for a while, I'll have my Health and Life license by this time next week. I'm still looking for a W2 job, but seriously considering a 1099 gig as an independent agent. My only real concern is springing huge money for leads. Anyone here do this and have some stories to share?

My sister was a middle school teacher that got fed up and went into selling insurance. She went back to teaching after a year. She hated the number or hours.

Yes. 15 years. PM me. I am a w2 at an independent agency. It’s a good living but the stress can be high.

I spend zero on leads. Don’t know anyone that does.

I would recommend PC as it pays better. Or, sell both - I do.

Crap. I just looked at the OP. It’s Rick. Dude. You are a professional salesman. You can kill this.

Get a w2 gig. It’s easy. I will give you a plan.

One of the guys in my CEO round table is an independent agent. He also is a mentor to new agents. If you want, I can get you connected.
