i thought of a system:
1 - verified bad leads are credited for every agent
2 - agents have ability to mark lead as "sold", when this happens, that lead is not credited for anyone else.
3 - when a lead was sold, the selling agent could be a % off their next lead(s) (25% off) to encourage actual reporting of sales and not sandbagging. Maybe even knowing who is competing against you for the leads you are buying would be interesting. Possibly having a quality control measure: lead company calls some leads that were not sold to check if a policy was placed and by who.
4 - Price wise, I would not mind paying more for leads, I hate getting in touch with leads 2-3 weeks after only to find out it's a bad lead and I can't return it. I feel like I have been robbed.
Not sure how these would work in real world, but just simple brain storming. Interested in what others think.
You'll end up going to Germany to clear your head for five months after losing money and dealing with insurance agents (who I can only speak "highly" of) only to come back to America and open your own agency to work the leads.
That may sound extremely specific, but that's just conjecture.
