Hi everyone, I've just gotten into the Medicare Supp sales biz after reading How to Qualify, Present & Sell to Seniors by Justin Bilyj. He's a really great writer who explains the ins/outs and its inspired me. But I'm really struggling with the math in my business plan. In the book he creates a model where you buy Medicare leads for $10 each and close 1 out of 12 to generate a net commission of $240 per sale. That's great, I could make that work (I know the plan will change soon as I hit the real world, but its just a baseline to work against for me).
But the problem is I can't find any legit lead vendors close to the $10 lead cost. If I look at the lead site that the book mentions, the price is $40 per lead. Assuming I'm closing 1 out of 15 for the first year at best (newbie + teles-ales), it makes it difficult.
Is there something I'm missing? I know the benefit of this biz is in the renewals, but it seems like the costs of real-world leads don't match up to what's in the book even remotely.
Appreciate all the advice and direction members of this forum share with newcomers.
