Quick Answer
Life insurance live transfer leads from CFG cost $80 to $180 per transfer in 2026. Caribbean nearshore fronters pre-qualify prospects on age, coverage interest ($100K to $2M plus), term vs whole life preference, beneficiary structure, and verbal health-class self-disclosure. The warm-transferred call goes to your US-licensed agent who handles underwriting interpretation, carrier matching, final-premium quoting, and policy binding. Fronters operate strictly inside the state DOI marketing perimeter. The licensed close stays on your payroll.
Why life insurance uses the live transfer model
Life insurance is a high-ticket vertical with a long sales conversation (typically 30 to 60 minutes for a fully underwritten term policy) and a sales cycle that often spans multiple calls. The fronter-closer split fits the economics: licensed agents earning $400 to $1,200 per bound policy cannot afford to spend hours qualifying suspects, but they need to be on every conversation that has actual buying intent. Live transfers solve that constraint.
Three operational realities:
- Higher coverage targets justify higher per-transfer pricing. A $500K to $2M term life policy generates first-year commission well above the per-transfer cost. The unit economics work at $80 to $180 per transfer when close rates run 10 to 20 percent.
- Beneficiary capture is structural data. The buyer needs to know whether the policy is for a spouse, children, business partner, or estate. This determines product type, carrier match, and final-premium math. Fronters capture beneficiary structure as qualification data.
- Health-class self-disclosure (not interpretation) is fronter-scriptable. Prospects describe their health in their own words. Fronters capture verbatim, do not interpret. Licensed agents make the underwriting interpretation on the warm-transfer side.
Life insurance qualification rubric
CFG fronters pre-qualify life insurance prospects on five gates: age, coverage interest, product preference (term vs whole vs universal), beneficiary structure, and health-class self-disclosure.
- Age. Typically 25 to 65 for term life, 50 to 80 for whole life. Outside the age band, calls do not bill unless the buyer has specifically opened a wider band.
- Coverage interest. $100K to $2M plus stated target. Fronters capture the prospect's verbal coverage target ("I'm looking for around $500K to cover my mortgage" or "$1M to protect my family"). Filters out unqualified shoppers.
- Product preference. Term life, whole life, or universal life. Some prospects know what they want; others ask for guidance, in which case the fronter captures "needs help understanding products" as a flag for the licensed agent.
- Beneficiary structure. Spouse, children, business partner, estate, or other. Determines product fit and carrier match.
- Health-class self-disclosure. Prospect describes overall health in their own words, smoker status, recent hospitalizations or surgeries, current medications. Fronter captures verbatim, no interpretation.
Compliance posture: state DOI, no underwriting decisions, no policy binding
Life insurance is a state-licensed product. The licensed US agent on the warm-transfer side must hold a producer license in the prospect's state. CFG fronters operate inside the state DOI marketing perimeter. Three hard lines:
- No underwriting decisions. Fronters capture verbal health-class self-disclosure but do not interpret, suggest a health class, or comment on insurability. Underwriting interpretation is licensed-agent work.
- No final premium quoting. Fronters capture the coverage target ($100K, $500K, $1M, $2M plus) but do not state final premium. Premium is carrier-specific, age-specific, and health-class-specific, all of which are licensed-agent territory.
- No policy binding. The licensed agent handles application completion, underwriting submission, medical exam scheduling where required, and policy binding. Fronters never collect SSN or driver license info beyond the warm-transfer handoff.
Buyers approve every script variant against their own state DOI compliance posture before any outbound dial. For the broader compliance read-out, see the nearshore fronter perimeter.
CFG life insurance pilot terms
Standard pilot is 30 days, 50 to 150 transfers per month at the agreed pricing band (lower volume than final expense given higher per-transfer price), exclusive transfers only, with a 7-day onboarding ramp. Close rates of 10 to 20 percent set the baseline economics. Buyers can scale to 300 plus transfers per month after a successful pilot.
What CFG life insurance fronters do not do: interpret health-class implications, quote final premiums, recommend specific carriers or products, complete applications, schedule medical exams, or bind policies. The licensed US agent handles all underwriting interpretation, quoting, application, and binding. Fronters pre-qualify and warm-transfer only. This is the state DOI marketing perimeter.
