"99.5% WILL FAIL.." - SAM

[Rirwin]

He just fiercely defended the model put forth by FEX for the independent agent as being the best. A detailed road map compiled and taught by proven producers utilizing proven techniques. While being easily learned and repeatable as well as ongoing.
All this without taking a haircut in commissions. Is he wrong?

p.s.- Some are offended by feisty people, but I like feisty people.

Many successful agents fiercely defend their model, but most don't have to call others fos to defend their position.

I have spent over 40 years in sales. 18 in the car business, 15 in the mortgage business and going on ten in the FE industry. Most of my managers along the way were rude, crude and didn't take no for an answer. They were not even concerned about being Politically Correct. They were the best teachers I ever had. Come to think of it most of my good coaches over the years were from the same mold. They had no time or interest in being Politically Correct.

Sales is a tough business and those with thin skin usually don't make it. I am assuming most of us are adults here. Most of us are coming here to either get better at our trade or just for the comradery. I visit here daily for a little of both. I have no problem with somebody getting into my face if they feel I am doing something wrong. I have been told many times in this forum, by many different people that I was doing something wrong. Not always in the politest of terms. But sometimes that's what it takes.

Sometimes you have to hit somebody up the side of the head just to knock a little sense into them.

Hahaha, along with the meds. Seems like he said he's taking a med for a sleep disorder. I took that same med for 10 days and said f*ck that sh*t! Really zonked me out.

I had a meeting with my neurologist today. He's putting me on a sleep aid to go with my other sleep aide. Clonzepam and now triptipine or some other bull shit. I have wild dreams or maybe you should call them nightmares. I jump out of bed in the middle of the night fighting and throwing punches kicking etc. I jumped out the other night and hit my head on the end table. Got a big gash, bled all over the place. Man that did hurt!

Good thing I was all drugged up!
