To switch from a captive agency (such as State Farm, New York Life, or Northwestern Mutual) to an independent contract with BetterLifeQuotes.com: (1) confirm your current contract has no non-compete or non-solicit restrictions, (2) apply at betterlifequotes.com/apply with your active life license, (3) complete carrier appointments with our 34-carrier lineup, and (4) start writing business under your new contract — typically within a week. You keep 100% of any new business you write.

Are there production minimums or quotas at BetterLifeQuotes.com?

No. BetterLifeQuotes.com has zero production minimums, zero quotas, and no required activity reporting. Agents write at their own pace whether part-time or full-time, and there are no contract terminations for low production.

What are advance payouts on life insurance commissions?

An advance payout means the agent receives up to 9 or 12 months of commission paid up-front when a policy is issued, instead of waiting for monthly as-earned payments. BetterLifeQuotes.com offers advance payouts on qualifying carriers and products, allowing agents to scale their book of business faster.

Do I need experience to join BetterLifeQuotes.com as a life insurance agent?

No prior life insurance sales experience is required. New agents with an active state life insurance license are welcome, and BetterLifeQuotes.com provides training resources, carrier guidance, and a 30-minute Zoom with the founder to support new agents through their first cases.
