Agents should purchase life insurance leads for many reasons. But before you do you, you need to have a good system in place of exactly how you are going to work the leads. Buying the life insurance leads is one thing but turning them into real sales is something else entirely. You need to have your plan in place and make sure that it can work to your business’s advantage.
The best and most obvious reason why agents should buy life leads is to drum up new business. Purchasing leads means that you don’t have to spend valuable time trying to generate them on your own. But if you do consistently generate some leads on your own you can always add those leads to the ones you buy. Then you will always have a large pool of potential prospects to draw from. Then filling your pipeline will not be a laborious and painful process anymore.
One more great reason to purchase life insurance leads is that the process is fairly straight forward and easy to do. The key is finding a consistent and reliable lead generation company. Once you have found a quality provider then all you do is set your up your lead filters, the quantity you want per day and then deposit some money into your lead account.
Buying life insurance leads also keeps you in competition with the other agents who you have to contend with for business. It keeps you “in the game” per say. More and more agents are beginning to use online insurance leads in their business on a regular basis. They already know that paying for qualified, verified leads is much easier then trying to generate them from other, more conventional sources.
In all purchasing life insurance sales leads presents agents with many benefits and options. If you are a insurance agent that is looking to write more life insurance policies, then purchasing leads from an online provider might be a good idea.

There are two types of Insurance; Permanent and Term.
Permanent Polcies remain at the same monthly cost for the rest of your life.
Term policies remain fixed for a set number of years. After the set number of years the policy either terminates or can be rewriten for the same length of time, but you'll now be evaluated at your new age, not the age you are now.
Permanent Policies are similiar to buying a home. The policy builds Cash value and could potential increase your death benefit. You can take a loan out against your own cash value or should you cancel the policy at a later time, you will get the cash value paid out to you at that time.
Term policies are like renting. After the set term (5, 10, 20, 30 years) each party walks away. You don't get any money back, but you'll have paid less over the course of the 10 years.
If you were to get a 20 yr term policy now, at age 50 your policy would end (unless you had already died). You could then get another policy, but they'd rate you as a 50 year old, not a 30 year old. and at each of these 20 year renewals, you'll have to go through medical screening again.
If you were to get Permanent Policy now, you'll have a higher premium now, but at age 50 you'll still be paying the same amount as you are now. At age 70 you'll still be paying the same amount as you are now. At age 90? Same amount.
To figure out how much coverage you'll need, here's a handy tool: L.I.F.E.
L: Liabilities: mortgage, car note, student loans, credit cards
I: Income replacement: 5 to 10 times your annual income (though in your case, each of you have another 30-35 years working life in you, you might want more)
F: Final Expenses: Typically $10-25 k
E: Education: Education for your spouse, should they need to change careers to maintain their standard of living after you pass and/or college tuition for any childre you may leave behind.
So, with a $200k mortgage, $25k car loan, and $15k Student Loan, your "L" is $240k.
If you're making $50k annually, you'll need $500k for "I."
Let's call "F" at $15k
"E"? Well, 2 kids at $20k per year for 4 years each translate to $160k.
This mean you'll need $915,000 worth of Life Insurance.
I have my Life with State Farm. It's also giving me a discount on my car insurance.
Life insurance is insurance on your life. If you die the insurance company pays money to your beneficiaries. they could be family, friends, the company you work for even a charitable organization. as long as there is an insurable interest.
If you are dead the money from the insurance can pay for your funeral, your debts, mortgage, medical bills, car payments, children's college education, your families survival if you are no longer here to provide for them, as well as pay for inheritance taxes, probate taxes (life insurance is tax free)
if you are single, no family, no responsibilities and don't mind being buried by the state then you probably don't need life insurance. Try this site to find the best life insurance

13 Reasons why Primerica is Sub Par
Reason 13: Keeping in mind everything I have said thus far, the ones who get hurt the most are the clients. If a family has to sit down with a person who offers few insurance and financial products (few of which are cheap), has little grasp of the OTHER options the family might have, is simultaneously trying to recruit them, and has to leave by 6 so he can be on time for his full-time job at the GAP, then the family isn’t getting a good deal.
