Hey everyone, just wondering… what’s been working for you to find solid life insurance leads? I’ve tried a few things but thought I’d see if there are any pro tips out there

Honestly, company leads have been hit-or-miss for me. Some are decent, but they usually end up being recycled… anyone else find that?

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. Feels like they get handed out to everyone, and by the time I get one, they’ve already been contacted a bunch of times

Same here. I’ve had better luck with third-party leads even though they cost more upfront

I’ve had mixed results with LinkedIn. I agree that groups help, but it takes time to build trust

It’s worked for me when I engage regularly. I try not to come across too salesy, just offering advice when I can

Anyone tried local networking groups? I’ve found a few clients by getting referrals from other professionals

Networking groups can be a good source. I even got a lead from a plumber who had a client worried about leaving expenses for their family

That’s smart. A tax accountant I know sends a few clients my way when they mention life insurance needs

Does anyone pay for exclusive third-party leads? I’m curious if the higher cost actually makes a difference

I tried exclusive leads, and it’s hit-or-miss. You get less competition, but they’re pricey

Agreed. It can work well if you’re good at closing, but if not, the cost adds up fast
