Criteria to sign w/networks

[Rikker]

Hello everyone! I am new to the WSR bus. Is it true you must have one year experience or be in business one year before you can apply to the networks? This is how i planned on starting out and gradually working toward COD jobs after i honed my skills. Your response is greatly appreciated!

Yes, it's true unless they've changed. We bought a guy out who was retiring soon, so we could use his tax id number to get around that small issue. It's costing us about 10% for 1 year to buy him out and to get established/get your feet under you. I'm not sure if it was worth it or not. We do not do a lot of insurance deals as most customers around here want to pay out of pocket. We gladly honor their car insurance rate though.
