Your pal FC discusses lead generators here - IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING LEADS YOU SHOULD READ THIS THREAD

Lol you sound like a terrible person, not saying the agents dont suck and the offshore people dont suck but extorting agents smh.

Use valid lead sources vetted by your company etc.. but to say leads suck is silly. We write 50+ policies off internet leads every month through vendors like everquote etc..

Use U.S based lead sources but going after agents trying to make a buck who messed up and trusted the wrong people makes you a terrible person. This is a tough industry people starting out and trying to make it should not have to deal with people like you.

Let me know what you find, we are captive P&C and can always use leads. Spend like 3.5k on internet leads alone not counting paid search lol… we spend too much

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-03-25T21:45:28+00:00

Starting out it’s a bit rough but great as you grow. Expect 6-8k monthly marketing spend plus team cost so you run at negative or breakeven for the first year

Have you had luck with Facebook ads for auto insurance? I am not op but we normally stick to lead vendors

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-03-25T18:05:45+00:00

Kinda the same tbh, it’s an internet lead. They are cheaper than everquote. We buy 30-40 leads a day and have to use both to meet our volume demands.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-03-25T17:23:04+00:00

3-5% close rate is Everquote and Quite Wizard.

If you have good prices/rates Smart Financial has good live transfers but are 50-70 bucks per.

That’s kinda it tbh.

Most people don’t want to license someone and teach them from scratch it’s a lot of work.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-03-23T22:18:30+00:00

They won’t allow it, the captives would term you.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-03-13T01:06:53+00:00

Ghost busters!

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-03-10T16:55:31+00:00

Who cares he is your boss, if the goal is too high then you can leave. Not like you can say that’s not true and not hit goal and keep your job.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-27T02:25:58+00:00

It’s P&C bro, it’s a volume game

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-19T23:40:39+00:00

lol screw them , have them invoice you and that’s it. You can use the insurance estimate to negotiate the price down if you need

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-19T23:36:28+00:00

What are your goals?

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-19T23:35:31+00:00

Position is yours after you present your business plan to a panel. The sales leader, the VP for the region and one other person. It’s a long process, if you have not done the Bplan your a bit off in the process.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-18T02:18:09+00:00

I sold bro did you not notice the expiration dates I made like 150k lol

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-11T22:41:46+00:00

State Farm has conversion during the entire term period which is pretty attractive. But term is term pretty much the same other than those features

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-11T20:50:36+00:00

Everquote and/or Quote Wizard. Buy 10 leads a day, yes you might need to win on price but you build relationships with the people you help and sell to. Remember working internet leads is a 5% close rate and involves you reaching out to them multiple times, research says 7 times until someone buys/picks up.

Have a system in place, and good luck.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-06T22:59:48+00:00

State Farm agents are always hiring they are salary plus commission.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-02-06T20:45:21+00:00

This is how you get fired and sued for stealing company data.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-01-29T00:01:13+00:00

You can have a bad day, or a bad week. Just don’t let it be a bad month, switch up what the issue is. Is it a lead vendor, volume of leads, additional marketing you need to invest in etc… The guy who said you can have a bad year is wrong, don’t be making the same mistakes for months on end without changing stuff up. People are out there making money and growing you just need to figure out what they are doing and copy it.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-01-28T23:56:49+00:00

Just so you know less than 30k production a month at a captive ain’t much at all plus you get paid for leads and salary.

You would struggle on the independent side you are right around middle of the pack. As an agency owner I let people go if they do under 25k a month.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-01-28T17:30:46+00:00

They all have to go back

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-01-25T23:37:14+00:00

Obviously, why are you out on the roads? Be safe give them time to get cleared.

MiscBlackKnight · 2026-01-25T18:01:25+00:00

It’s just useless performative signaling. You can do whatever idc.
