I've been a work from home health insurance agent for over four years and this is my daily log detailing all the fun and bull involved in being an independent agent. My goal is to build a strong community presence and show other agents that the key to this business is generating your own leads.
I have started an association to train, support and unite independent health agents. See my link on the right.

Chamber - the gift that keeps on giving!
My phone rings and it's director of St. Stephen's Church which is about five miles from me. She's a chamber member and called me to come there tomorrow and give a presentation in front of the church committee. They dropped group due to cost and now everyone's on their own. Wow...I'm very excited to run that appointment. Wait! Maybe I should just do that on the phone - they can teleconference me in. Lol. (Ok, I'm a smart ass.)
In other news, the workforce exchange is turning out to be a total bust. I had two lined up to start, both bagged out. I have a lot of "resumes" (if you want to call 'em that) and about 90% don't return emails or return messages. My theory was some of them would really appreciate a home-based job. Guess not. No problem. I posted a regular ad and will simply go the proven route.
Yeah, it's a shame isn't it. All these agents across the country sitting at home making a fortune off shared leads and I have to put on a tie tomorrow.
Shoot you were ties. I don't I wear a nice dress shirt or even a polo shirt. When I have done my seminars for real estate agents I have not seen a tie in the room yet. Well I am from california so if I could I would do it in a t-shirt and flip flops.

Tell them to put you on hands free!
Sounds like a real nice chance to get your name out there.
Good luck.
