Hey everyone,
I’m relatively new to the insurance business and I’m trying to figure out the best way to build a book of business without just buying random lead lists or burning through money on ads.
I’m currently focused on **group health/employee benefits for small businesses**, but I’m also working with individuals on **life insurance**.
I have a pretty strong background in project/account management and working with businesses, so I’m comfortable talking to owners and building relationships. The part I’m trying to figure out is consistently getting in front of the *right* people.
For those of you who have been doing this for a while:
• What lead sources have actually worked for you?
• Cold calling/emailing local businesses?
• LinkedIn?
• Networking?
• Referrals?
• Buying leads?
• Reddit/social media?
• Something completely different?
I’m not looking for a magic button. I’m willing to put in the work. I’d just rather spend my time doing things that actually have a chance of producing results.
Would really appreciate hearing what worked for you when you were starting out, especially if you’re an independent broker.

THANKS!

I deal with individual/group health and life. I don’t really know anyone or dabble in P&C. Do people collaborate in this world?

Does anyone have any real advice to land group health leads? I have a book full of individual life/health insurance but am looking to get into group. Anyone have any recommendations on even landing a meeting for group? Thanks !

I’ve worked in construction here in NY for 15 years for 3 different companies. From project management to operations and estimating. My most recent company just downsized and let go of a good amount of employees. Tbh not too mad I was becoming overly stressed and frustrated with the industry. Thankless job, hours are insane etc etc. I want to jump into a new career and landed on insurance. The issue is, I can’t take tests lol I took it twice and failed twice. Once by 10 missed questions then again by 15. I’m getting pretty frustrated. If anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated!!
