A Little Help for the New Guy

[jdeasy]

Many agents have "tried" final expense and failed. Some of them aren't going to make it in any form of insurance sales due to one of three things
1. Poor communicator. Doesn't interact with people well
2. Lazy. Not self motivated. Always "getting ready to launch."
3. Have a job/employee mentality rather than a business/ owner mentality

But a whole lot of agents that fail with FE COULD do it but they can't focus. They spin in circles from this opportunity and that opportunity. They contract with 8-different companies and don't really understand any of them. They won't consistently buy direct mail leads because they are too expensive even though EVERY successful FE agent appears to make their living off direct mail leads.

Just focus. Make sure the person you contract under is doing what YOU want to do successfully. Then do what he does. Make sure the commission levels you get make sense for the product. You can't make a living at FE at a 50% commission no matter how good you are. And you pretty much deserve to fail if you didn't research the industry any more than that before you jumped in. This forum has all the information you need to know. You just have to filter out the BS.

Well none of that sounds as easy as I was promised.
