How Much Initial Personal Investment Do I Need to Become a Succcesful Captive Agent

[dbuff]

Hi,
I got life/health license, but don't have any sales experience. Just about to be hired as a captive agent. But basically (except a few tools) I have to develop my own strategy to get leads. How much money do I need to start this kind of job (gas, ads, buying leads?, etc.) Many thanks

There are a lot of variables here. There are paths which might cost you very little, but may take longer to get rolling, or you may want to invest more up front to get things rolling. But there's also captive vs indepedent, your target market, how good of a salesperson you are, etc.

Can you give us more detail?

Ideally, you should have enough funds on hand to cover your living expenses for a few months - to allow your business to develop and grow.

Questions:

What kind of agency are you working with, and how large is the agency?

why is an experienced agency having the brand new agent develop strategy in the first place?
