I live out in the boondocks as well. Check out nomadinternet.com it's who I use, was a game changer for me. Satellite is awful. They work off the cell towers.It’s definitely solid advice, and something I have definitely considered. The problems with it though are that where I live (rural mountain town in Western NC) unfortunately there are no captive agencies around here. And anything virtual won’t work because (also because of location) internet services out here are really limited. I interviewed with eHealth today and all was going right as rain until I had to divulge that I only currently have access to satellite internet. Works great but apparently a big no no when it comes to call center work. Which leaves my own options that much more limited. I do appreciate the suggestion though.
Surely there is at least a Bankers office near you?
They are horrible people that work there, but have a decent training program to at least learn the business. Just have an exit plan for about a year out when you start feeling confident in the business.
If that doesn't work, search the internet for local Medicare brokers, and try to reach out to them. See if you can work out some kind of a deal, get in their downline etc..
