Just curious where agents are going for their capital needs to grow, purchase additonal leads, obtain a new technology solution, hire additional support people or simply retire?

Is this a trick question. I saw you link. Are you going to tell us that we should go to you since you offer this?

For more money I go to the bank, use my credit cards and hit up family members that already owe me money.

Not a trick question. Updating a white paper and wondered what the avenues are currently for agents. Our model fits many but not all, and with the current financial climate, I was just wondering where everyone is going to access the cash.

I go out to find clients to grow capital. If I want more technology I work for it. People start out in this business every day without any of the luxeries you're talking about. Most of us avoid going in to debt...we just work harder.

I don't if I agree with that. I have been around a while and I know many that use debt. Of course, it depends on your business. If you are brick and mortar with storefronts, most people at sometime use debt.

Totally with briko3, when I need extra capital I just work harder and smarter. I think that is how many agents become more successful. I am basically pretty lazy, I love to play, but when my capital runs low I am forced to use my brain again. I am at that point now, want to move my market to a different level, starting to do things differently, I KNOW I will be successful, because it has always worked in the past.

And I am totally with you and Brinko3. That is the beautiful part of this business. If I want more money I just work a little harder

Why go to the bank and borrow it when all I have to do is make a few extra phone calls. If I want to buy a new "toy" I just calculate how many additional policies I need to sell.

Keep it up COCOC your posts are good for if nothing else a good laugh.

I understand the need for additional capital that comes in the form of loans from lenders. As an agency principal, I have additional expenses in the form of office overhead, staff, etc... Additionally, new agents starting out in this career who are not financially strong should take a look at raising capital to support their business in its infancy.

I for one find it a very interesting and creative way of building his post count. He can't get into a lot of "trouble" that way, that's for sure.
