Insurance Agent Forum

Hi, I have been a licensed agent for 7 years. I am good at what I do. I have recently left the agency that I was working at. Since then I have been forced to do it on my own. I have ran ads in the paper and tried to market myself on line. the problem is... cash. Is there an inexpensive way of getting leads? I have tried Net Quote and many others. Any ideas???

I have been told that, since i will be in front of many business owners, I should also sell other insurance products. Any suggestions on what other companies I should look into?? I live in Houston Texas. Thanks!!
