I was in the mortgage industry and have now switched careers to the insurance industry. I am working in my home town where I have a TON of personal as well as business contacts. I just passed my property and casualty test so as far as production, it's still a couple of months out. I have already sent an email to the people I know letting them know about my new endeavor. I am looking for some help from you (the professionals) regarding what I should do to start ramping up my business and contacts before I start producing. I am working for a national insurance company and need to concentrate on branding my name rather than the company name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am not an independent agent. I work with a large branded company. I do not/can not afford to pay for tv, radio spots on my own as of yet. I'm looking for the cheapest, most effective way to get business.
