If you plan to do BPOs you should ask him if he has a problem with you doing bpos first of all. You should also address up front whether he will allow you to keep your BPO money or whether it is subject to the commission split.

And ask if s/he will have a problem providing a copy of the Brokerage's E&O Policy to your BPO Mills . . . . as most now require proof of Coverage. Some also want the General Liability and Auto Policies as well; but E&O is the most common.

The best thing is to create your own brand.

BPO's are great but if your broker is unfamiliar with them how will he oversee it from a liability standpoint?

Nice thread! Keep it coming..

There isn't much else that needs to be said in this thread, IMO. Training, splits, costs, and supervision.... I can't think of anything else.

But, I can think of a question new agents ought to be asking themselves: Am I willing to prospect daily for business. Without a definite 'YES!' answer, there is nothing any broker could do to help a new new agent.

This is great..... All the best...
