No pressure.
No vague promises.

01Why work with an independent agency?+

An independent agency can compare products from multiple carriers instead of forcing every need into one company’s lineup. Availability still depends on state, health, age, and underwriting.

02How much does a consultation cost?+

There is no charge for an initial insurance consultation or quote comparison. If a separate professional service ever carries a fee, it will be disclosed before you agree.

03Can you help outside South Dakota?+

Built Different serves families nationwide where its agents are appropriately licensed. Carrier and product availability varies by state.

04Do I need a medical exam?+

Not always. Some products use accelerated or simplified underwriting. The best path depends on the coverage amount, age, health history, and carrier.

05How quickly can coverage begin?+

Some qualified applicants receive fast decisions, while fully underwritten cases can take longer. Coverage begins only after carrier approval, required delivery conditions, and premium payment.

06What information should I bring?+

Income, debts, current coverage, major goals, beneficiary information, medication and health history, and a comfortable budget range make the conversation more useful.

07Do you work with unlicensed career candidates?+

Yes. Licensing guidance is part of the builder path. The opportunity is independent and commission-based; results vary with skill, effort, activity, and market conditions.

08Will I have to sell to friends and family?+

No. Personal relationships can be part of a business if you choose, but the model is not dependent on treating your contact list as a sales requirement.
