If all you're going to do is sell in your life, then get the license and take the job. Make it work and you will be amply rewarded. You can always go independent once you learn the ropes. This is a little different type of sales than you are used to so be open minded and you will learn how to be successful.

Very, very true. Been there and done that.
Coincidentally ANL was my first experience of that.
I broke out after I had quit. Got the back end for two months, then was informed it was to be stopped, reason being that I was not producing any new business, and was writing for companies in competition with them.
Stan Firebaugh was the FMO. Very ethical guy

Did it cost you a few bob, or could you roll them to your new gig?

You got that right, it did cost a few bob.
But not for long, two can play at that game.

BTW a bob used to be one shilling, 12 pennies, back when the English pound had 240 pennies per.
I don't know if they still use that term since they changed to the decimal system, which I may add, makes far more sense to have 100 pennies to the pound.

I've usually heard it used in wagering terms as in, "the punters were keen to sport a few bob."

Much more than a name and number. By the time it gets to the Writing Agent - we have the name, address, contact info, height / weight, age, medical history and meds, occupation, their income, their budget, family members and their present carrier if any. Most importantly - we ask "why" they are seeking information on a health or life plan.
" ....now then there is the whole world of marketing groups that will screw you with advances and steal your renewals because you are green....where is that on your list of things to do..... "
We're with a solid marketing group that has been around a while and isn't that far away if we need to make a visit. We utilize the group for marketing support and solid commissions. Not worried about this portion.
I'm just sharing our system. To each their own I say . . .
