If an agent wants to make $150k per year selling Final Expense, they need to spend about 6k-8k on leads and other costs per Month to do those numbers.


and

Our Lead costs are cut by 75% so our agents have more leads to call than they can ever get to. They have access to virtually unlimited high quality responder final expense leads for a few hundred bucks a week. 1 sale and there weekly expenses are covered.



Am I understanding you correctly? You're saying the 6-8K a month is how the other guys do it but your leads are only fraction of that cost?

Companies that generate own leads have a lot of potential. They have to
maintain a good research and development team that would study the different market trends and identify their profit optimization. Such companies have dynamic strategies to pull up their sales figure even under a global downturn.

Very few agents are willing to do that because of the risk so they just flounder by buying 10-20 leads per week and make there $20k-$50k/yr after expenses. And then they are off looking for the greener grass which never comes.


Maybe I misunderstood this statement, but here is what I get from it.

If I want to make 150,000...I need to:

Spend 6-8K a month on leads
Spend on other Expenses every month

8 x 12 - 96,000
Other expenses ~5000 a year or more??

That leaves me with 49,000 a year.

If I flounder and purchase 10-20 leads a week I will make 20-50K a year after expenses.

Is the 150,000 after expenses? Because otherwise it seems just as wise to flounder without the risk of paying so much for leads.


Can we please get an answer to this question?
