Tommie, you are simply a leech. You've been in and out of a number of schemes in the past 2 years and the only loser are the agents you work with.

My "job" is to make certain that as many agents as possible know about you. You are in for Tom and only for Tom. You are the worst of this industry.

If there is a god, you are so screwed.

He doesn't like the fact that I remind everyone what a leech he is.

He's told us that that insurance isn't brain surgery, basically telling all of us that with his months of experience, he could do better. He decided that high priced insurance was fine because he could justify screwing clients because ... well, I don't know why.

He's had a call center where he charged agents a bunch of money to join. That folded along with his life insurance crap, final expense crap, and probably his marriage, and I'm most likely forgetting a bunch of his recent "can't fail businesses."

The man is constantly looking at ways to make money on the backs of others. He's never paid his dues and basically is on this forum simply to solicit business from people too nieve or stupid to realize he's a jerk.

Other than that, I have a lot of respect for little Tommie.

Actually Rick - I still set up Call Centers, Recruit Agents, Personally sell insurance, etc . . .

I just concentrate on leads since it's the easiest and most profitable.

You're just jealous - but God and I love ya . . .

I have been reading this forum for about a year now. I find Tom's posts informative as well as his experiences he shares.
"He's told us that that insurance isn't brain surgery"
It sure isn't! This is a MARKETING business.

" He's had a call center where he charged agents a bunch of money to join. That folded along with his life insurance crap, final expense crap, and probably his marriage, and I'm most likely forgetting a bunch of his recent "can't fail businesses."

This just makes you appear as a child attacking anyone in this manner. We are all here to shares experiences, ideas or services.
What lead companies don't offer their services? Not all are good, but their are a lot that are. Bottom line is it can be hard to make it in this business without marketing through various vendors and finding out which combination works for you. I prefer to market as the above poster and call myself, but I have bought various forms of leads and am very sure I will again in the future. As Tom or any other lead provider will tell you, you have to adapt in this ever changing world of advertising.

A veteran once told me that if you don't have any leads, your out of business.

PS: A lead is just that, it's not a SALE!

No need to respond. If Tommie can get people to pay him for services, that's their business. On the other hand, I have a right to express my opinion and I will continue to do so.

I'm still holding out for a response from 5pill. I can't figure out if you're trying to sell appointment setting services or trying to help people with a script that's been successful.

Don't forget competitive pricing. Then again, if they take anyone, I might make a trip to hospice
