The Hidden Reason Surplus Agents Stay Broke: They Don’t Control Their Pipeline

Most surplus agents don’t fail because they lack leads.
They fail because they don’t control the flow of those leads.

There’s a massive difference between “having leads” and “having a pipeline,” and until you understand that difference, you’re stuck in the same cycle every beginner faces:

• You find a few leads

• You call them

• You get discouraged

• You stop

• Then restart from zero
  

That “start-stop-start-stop” loop is pipeline poverty — and it kills momentum.

Pipeline = Predictability

A real surplus pipeline looks like this:

• New surplus cases entering daily

• Contacts being made weekly

• Follow-ups firing automatically

• Documents flowing into attorney review

• Claims stacking

• Payouts cycling
  

When your pipeline fills itself, you stop “hoping” for claims and start planning them.

Most Agents Have the Wrong Pipeline Structure

They collect leads…
But they don’t organize them.
They follow up…
But they don’t track their touches.
They talk to claimants…
But they don’t document what was said.

A pipeline is BUILT — not guessed.
