7 Buying Checks for Independent Final Expense Agents

← Final expense lead buying guides

For independent and multi-carrier agents

Access to multiple carriers gives you choices, but a lead purchase still needs to fit your practice. Evaluate the audience, economics and workflow before you add another source.

  1. Map the offer to your actual products

    Review the products and states you can serve. Ask the vendor how final expense interest is identified without assuming every life insurance prospect fits your available coverage.

  2. Ask what exclusive really means

    Get the definition, duration and any resale rules in writing. Do not assume a label prevents a consumer from contacting other agents independently.

  3. Choose useful data over extra data

    Ask which fields help you understand the original request. Avoid collecting or transferring unnecessary sensitive information just because a vendor offers it.

  4. Protect follow-up continuity

    Keep source, delivery time, consent references and dispositions attached to the record in your approved CRM. A clean handoff is easier to assess than scattered notes.

  5. Review carrier and agency requirements

    Check that your advertising, scripts and follow-up process fit applicable agency and carrier rules. Buying from a third party does not replace that review.

  6. Calculate cost per placed policy

    Divide total acquisition cost by placed policies for the same cohort and reporting window. If none place, report the cost and zero placements rather than hiding the result in averages.

  7. Scale from observed results

    Review persistency and chargebacks as the cohort matures. Increase volume only when you can both serve the consumers and understand the economics.

Considering Mothership?

Mothership currently advertises 50 life insurance live transfers for $2,499. If you sell final expense, confirm that the available audience, states and delivery setup fit your practice before ordering. The general life insurance offer is not a promise of final-expense-only inquiries or guaranteed sales.
