Door Knock Vs. Phone Calls

Some people try something one day and then say it doesn't work. They haven't done it enough to even develop a little bit of technique or comfort level.

That is so true. When I had my medical equipment business, I canvassed doctor's offices for about 3 months everyday before I got them calling me back wanting me to help their patients. However I will say that FE insurance is a whole different beast. It has been much harder for me to start this business than my medical equipment company.

I'm sure it is - tangible vs. intangible.

The medical equipment business was a much narrower defined since you were able to go at it through health care providers.

Yes; a person can see they need a wheelchair because they cannot walk. However with life insurance you need it just as much (maybe even more), but not as in your face until later when death happens. But by then it is too late to get.

Too late??? if dead people can vote, they should be able to buy life insurance...

The market for FE is much larger and continues to grow. You're right, you need to get them to sign before they're cold. At least 12 months before so you avoid the chargeback.

But when can their beneficiary collect the money? When they die again, like a cat with 9 lives?

So true! I forgot about that.

I believe they are paying taxes as well, there goes the saying, death and taxes are unavoidable

When they quit voting.. That means there will never be any claims paid in Chicago..

Sounds like a new niche.
