Best week!

Ryan, what kind of questions were asked to those two, health and placement?

both the questions were probably pretty similar since i had them bother prepared for my speed dial to them before going out there.. they were nice enough to be ready for my calls that day... I believe the one I called Tim on was in regards to a bunch of drugs this client was taking, and most of these drugs were absolute foreign to me... so he walked me through where to place them based on that... the one with Travis was a little bit more complex. These people had just taken out a policy with penn life and the agent had clean sheeted the husband who was on aricept and had given him an immediate death benefit... no one will allow this so i was having trouble explaining this to the clients so i called travis and put in on speaker phone and told these people he was my district manager and he just ran with it...


Some very impressive weeks! Mostly direct mail lead cards ??

All direct mail leads for me... back then i didn't have access to insta-leads
 
All I see are excuses for failing. if that's all you see, then brush up on your business acumen.Your list is the easiest to overcome. Where else can you have a business with easy solutions.

-"burdonsome regulations" CHANGE YOUR APPROACH
-"a ton of liability for the agent" ONLY IF YOU CREATE THE LIABILITY
-"advertising constraints" THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSTRAINTS ON ADVERTISING COMPANY PRODUCTS
-"a massive amount of competition" NOT TRUE, COMPETITION IN ALL LINES HAVE LESSENED EACH YEAR THE PAST 7 YEARS, ACTIVE LICENSED AGENT COUNT HAS DECREASED EACH YEAR. IF YOU ARE IN A MARKET THAT IS SATURATED, CHANGE YOUR MARKET. Mortgage guys had their market dry up and then moved to an FE market......and were successful.

These excuses are typical of Life/A&H agents. They always try for the easy button. ObamaCare killed my Group Health business and I will loose a bunch of commission.....What did I do.....I changed my primary market and built a new Brand and Market. I did not die on the vine....I just worked through it. Sh...t happens and then you do something about it.
:cool:

Don't take it personally. The insurance business is still great. The margins are out of this world.

You made the the claim that "This is the Greatest Business in the world." That is a bold statement and clearly you are wrong. The best business in the world right now is still software. Margins are huge, demand is huge (worldwide), and you get monopoly patent protection for 7 years. Little regulation and no licensing barriers. Minimum investment (Laptop, education)

If you are an entrepreneur that can sell policies AND write code, your time is better spent writing code.

Let me re state it so you can understand, "Insurance is a great business to be in" but it is far from "The Greatest Business in the world" by any metric.
OK MAKE ME UNDERSTAND?:mad:

see above...

And yet there are more millionaires that sell insurance (a hundred fold) than software code writers worldwide. PLEASE..... to through out something like that and show yourself as a know it all in Software...... Please..
 
Great so you had direct mail cards after your 3 appts and busted in on people you havnt called
And they were there during the afternoon?

Are you kidding me?

There are more BILLIONAIRE Tech entrepreneurs than any other industry combined.

Let us be real, the average Insurance Agent makes $40K per year.

Stop lying to yourself. Insurance is great, its not the greatest.

If we were having this conversation 100 years ago, I'd tell you that the oil business is the greatest.

I'll put up the top 10 Insurance Brokers 1099's and top Insurance CEO's salaries and put it up against Mark Zuckerburg's quarterly dividend check any day...

In general terms, software is the greatest business to be in right now.

You are talking a handful off guys that you can invite to your frat party especially the code thieving Zuckerburg. Most will get a pittance of what they do because they do not own their own work anymore.....10-30 years ago Maybe. I do not see many of the code writers that Zuckerburg had working form him to write all that code in the Forbes list.....That's right...He never gave them a fair share for their work......Only abused the working man....

I am talking the average guy. If you are going to go and look at the fortune 500.....Look again....the majority will be executives from the insurance industry.

Top of my list would be a guy name WARREN BUFFET.....

It is obvious you have hard disk envy. Go ahead, be a code guy.

My point is, I would rather see young people go into insurance than the instability of software and tech. The MAJORITY will do well in the insurance industry..
 
From my perspective coming into this business as an uneducated construction guy, this business is to easy.

It has been over a 100° for a few weeks back home. Workers are falling out from heat stroke. For a few hundred dollars a week. I am sitting in Las Vegas and did $1,200. From a call in this morning. No selling really, "just what can I do for you?" Here is what I recommend.

I do not have to build anything, I do not have to buy and try to resell anything, there is no spoilage or obsolescence. No employee problems.

Pretty great business to me.

Knocking on the door and asking to be invited in by folks that have requested information could hardly be considered as having "busted in".
