Sounds like the "Health Benefits Direct" story...they lost several million executing it as well.

Turn-over will be massive. Most agent cannot write business regardless of how many leads you give them. Solid agents who can indeed write aren't gonna pay you to drive into an office.

While there are indeed some great ideas, this is not one of them.

This was the exact thing I was thinking when I read this thread.

So am I safe to assume this call center thing didn't work out as planned?

Some of us like the insurance business - - we like to sell.

I am not sure others should be here.

Just my opinion.

I agree, take the training for example, it's fun but I'm looking forward to getting back to selling, building back the book of biz, it's in our blood!!

[quote=robliano;89276]A call center will work if you take the proper steps to do it the correct way.

Remember the 6 P's of success

Proper
Prior
Planning
Prevents
Poor
Performance

Or just use this philosophy:

Keep your agents happy and everyone will be happy!!

Always heard it was prior planning prevents piss poor performance guess ur way works too
