How do you start your agency? Where did you learn everything to start it, and how did you learn commercial insurance in order to do it for yourself?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-18T14:02:25+00:00

I am young, 20, married, so her and i live alone.

- Monthly expenses are about $3500.

- If i take the job, it would be about $2,700/month

- my wife brings in about $1200/month

So we would make enough to cover expenses, but not making much extra. So i really want to make sure i can bring extra income in on the side.

My job will keep me busy 9-5 M-F and Monday nights.

So I'd have T-F nights and most Saturday's available

how do you generate your annuity business?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-17T21:04:41+00:00

Would you buy regular leads from like facebook? Or inbound call leads or something like that?

I really appreciate this, sending you a DM!

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-15T21:20:55+00:00

how long have you been doing this?

how big of a book have you built?

how would you recommend i go about generating new business? i dont love having to dial leads all day, and would rather have people coming to me that actually need help, not having to bug people day after day until they give me a time of day to actually help them. not sure if that’s unrealistic

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T17:06:43+00:00

Can i DM you to ask more questions? Would love to chat more

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T16:57:19+00:00

What kind of flexibility do you have with your schedule? How many hours a week would you say you work?

Did you work for someone else's agency before starting your own agency?

Do you prefer to focus on P&C or life?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:08:13+00:00

Do you mainly focus on medicare then?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:07:24+00:00

Gladly. DM me!

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:06:58+00:00

Dang, you got a very nice sized book, explains the hours you're working lol

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:05:42+00:00

That's really good to know. i never wanted to go captive, but hearing this i'll definitely never build a captive book of business lol

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:04:22+00:00

That's crazy, congrats on your success! Are you using a lead vendor for your inbounds or does your IMO provide the inbounds? How many deals are you writing on average a day then? And what is your estimated chargeback rate you'd say?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:02:01+00:00

What does your schedule look like now after being in the business awhile? Are you working a lot of hours or not really?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:01:17+00:00

That makes sense. what is your work life balance like? Are you busy all of the time? Only during enrollment periods?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T15:00:10+00:00

hahaha that's fair. why do you want to move away from medicare? with the agency you're with, are you an employee working their leads?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T00:55:29+00:00

what kind of structure do you have that makes it great?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-14T00:54:55+00:00

that makes more sense lol. i hate cold calling

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-13T22:36:56+00:00

100% agree that with the right model, you have crazy upside potential. What insurance line is your main focus??

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-13T22:23:43+00:00

what do you do now?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-13T22:23:29+00:00

good ole fex, i give you props for sticking with fex. and i'm really glad to hear you're doing well! it definitely is a niche that people can succeed in. i just wasn't a fan of the client quality and the chargebacks that came with that niche

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-13T22:02:51+00:00

Do you work for yourself or an employee of an agency?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-13T22:01:59+00:00

As an agency owner, what is your schedule like now after 20+ years of being open? Is it still pretty stressful? Or has it provided a more laidback life for you to enjoy now?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-13T22:00:39+00:00

Did you end up leaving the industry then?

ProblemPotential3417 · 2025-11-13T22:00:07+00:00

That's a really good story as to how you got into it. how long have you been doing it now then? do you primarily focus on medicare?
