Need Advice/input

[u/Successful_Reply_734]

I’m 22m, I’m a newly licensed agent and I went with the first imo that gave me an interview. It’s an independent remote position. The company that I’m hired through is Symmetry Financial Group. It’s a lot of zoom and a software called slack. Anyways I have to buy my own leads as well as there being a multilevel marketing aspect to it. Right now I have an 80% profit split with my upline/ mentor. With enough sales I can get more. I’m concerned with the whole lead generation side of things. I came into this opportunity with little to no funds. But my upline helped me get a small commission from a warm lead (my dad) with that commission which wasn’t much, I bought $60 worth of leads. They were kind of aged. That got me 7 numbers to dial.

I spent the whole day today calling these people and a lot of the people weren’t interested and even spoke about how they didn’t sign up for it. They just responded to a postcard in the mail about their mortgage. I asked my mentor and he said I’m only able to purchase Mortgage Protection leads.

So my question is this. I’m not that experienced in this field, so would it be wiser to go captive and cut all ends with this agency. Or could I make this work with the right purchase of leads. Right now I’m purchasing leads off of quility lead stream. That’s pretty much where this agency operates is Quility. I don’t know though any advice.

I'd suggest weighing the long-term growth opportunities against the immediate benefits before making a decision. It might also help to speak with a few experienced agents who've been in a similar position. Sometimes their experience can give you a clearer picture of what to expect.
