What kind of information are you searching? Why do you want to purchase final expense leads online? Do you really wanna go for selling final expense by phone ? I know its booming business but there are also many fake sites available too. Most often the lead selling sites forward a single lead to all its listed agents. Hence, you may not receive authentic exclusive links from these sites even when you are paying the price for it.

Answering how to sell final expense insurance is not anybody's cup of tea. In my opinion, you could go for outsourcing final expense insurance companies which specializes in selling final expense by phone (even the good ones out side the U.S.). You'd just need to check out their final expense leads conversion rates as compared to the contemporary tele-sellers across the U.S. Also, make sure of the probable taxation changes and updates on outsourcing. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

Hi.. I'd rather tell that most of these agents today know that nothing comes good for free..agents know that they can't really deal with selling final expense by phone if they are operating for free. Data security is also one major factor that hits final expense insurance companies so hard if they are operating for free...so most of the good agents won't like to work for low!

Just putting my '2 cents' in again. I'm still trying to decide if it's best for me to have Life Insurance or just Final Expense. Trying to weigh the 'pros' and 'cons' about both.

IMO there is no question sd...life policy rather than the other (or both)...final expense policy covers that only...(nothing left over for your boy)...a life policy you can use the proceeds to pay for your funeral and have money left over...I'm not a fan of 'final expense policys' _________________ "Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well being of a person or animal is at stake.

Selling final expense leads by phone from home is a tremendous way to go! We have lots of agents making a GREAT income just working 3 days a week and a few hours in those days. Think about it.. you can contact 4 to 5 times as many people in a given time as opposed to driving to their houses. You can mail to the parts of the country that are currently bringing in 5 - 8% response instead of 1% response in most saturated areas with many agents. Lead costs? You're ALWAYS better to go on your own here (we have a discount with a major mail house that handles it all.) This way there is no middleman making money from selling you overpriced (and resold) leads. See more at: (site removed by moderator--Chris you can link to your site in your signature if you want, or you can post something in the pub 'pitching your wares' but not in thread--ok?) _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

Although I still do most FE appointments face to face, many of the carriers I have are bringing portals online. This is how I primarily sell health insurance and so far it has been working out well for me. As far as free final expense leads are concerned there is no such thing. Either you will be getting something that has been worked over or you will get a lower percentage commission. _________________ http://newagentsolutions.ampminsure.org

Yep.. today many people are searching how to sell final expense insurance . There are now portals for selling simplified life (like Final Expense) by phone, the problem is that those online portals (like Assurity's) require a digital signature to be obtained by corresponding with your client by e-mail. 99.95% of our senior clients do not have e-mail. Final Expense, then, by telephone is best achieved by sending the still-suspicious senior a paper application that they can see, touch, and feel. This is far greater than a 100% telephonic enrollment (Balt Life/Shen) because it stays on the books when the senior feels safer about their purchase. Having investigated all of the enrollment options, obtaining a "wet" signature through the mail after a telephone close is definitely best. It takes more time, but it's most in line with the "old fashioned" way of doing business that seniors really appreciate. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

Hi all, We might call this 'paper-application' an 'old-fashioned' way of doing business but we'd need to know why we feel its better! Either emails would go unnoticed or the 'feel good' factor is not associated with them. That's the reason number of approaches are less as its time consuming but the conversion rate for final expense leads is certainly more.
