No. Expect to get called out when it's deserving.

Who determines deserving? You?

The dude is 53 and acts like 12.
Get real. Let him handle his own battles, he doesn't need his mommy on the playground

That's not his real age. I think he's late 20's, early 30's.

He can handle his battles. My main point was, This is the FE Forum!!!

I am starting to see that. I guess I need to get on the train and play along. I was told that this forum is a rough group. Now I see what he means!

I find your comment embarassing to others and respectfully ask you to redact. If you have nothing nice to say, you should remain silent. It makes you look worse, then it does the person you attempting to insult.

I wasn't embarrassed at all and I highly doubt anyone else was either.

Another thing for you to think about as well: If telesales didn't naturally produce more lapses in and of itself, more companies would be adding the ability to sell by phone instead of taking it away.

I'm not saying you don't experience the opposite, but I'm talking about the industry as a whole. It is not a myth, it's fact!

Out of curiosity, you are an adult, correct? We are in a professional forum, correct? Why the name calling? What are you trying to prove? What is your motive? What are you hoping to accomplish? As you point a finger pay close attention to the other three and see where they are pointing.

You have had policies that were replaced.


I'm actually 12 how did you know

The call center industry experiences lower persistency. Doesn't matter what they sell..it's a higher drop off rate bc of the model. But hey, they make millions upon millions so who cares right?

The independent agent, who sells clean and compliant over the phone will always have a high persistency.

I 100% agree that there will always be a place for the F2F FE agent. You will always be able to doorknock and even set appointments. However, I believe the times are changing and the FE telesales agent per capita is growing. I feel that 2019 will see an explosive growth in Indy agents selling FE is over the phone.

What are your thoughts?

I completely disagree with this. Reaching seniors over the phone is going to get harder and harder. I don't think there is any factual evidence to make your case.

Actually anyone regardless of age is harder to get on the phone today via traditional telemarketing. We utilize text messaging, online calendar scheduling, and Facebook messenger..and you'd be amazed of the contact and response rate..for seniors. I think "more" agents will migrate to telesales for several reasons..primarily at some point along the way they get tired of the trailer parks, cat piss, ripped couches, cigarette stenches, and just the all day windshield hussle.

In the end, either model is profitable. It all comes down to preference.

Or they give up FE all together and just go to selling term .
