Hi everyone. I have been selling life and health insurance since 1996. I live in Georgia and have a wife of 15 years and two awesome boys. I started out with Bankers Life and Casualty back in '96 and stepped out on my own in '99 with no support or friends that were independent. I struggled hard my first year but haven't looked back since. I work mostly the senior market doing Med Supps, Final Expense, and Annuities.

I started out mostly doing MedSupps because of the great renewals, but the last couple of years have moved more heavily into the FE market and I love it. I have been searching for new marketing (lead) ideas and found this site while researching that. I have tried contacting jdeasy's company but they are shut down with the weather in Dallas, so I can't wait for the first of the week to talk to them. The last couple of years have been a little lean due to inadequate marketing. I have been spending a lot of time this year getting that turned around. We all know if you don;t have anyone to see, you ain't selling no 'surance!

I look forward to learning from those that know more than I do and helping those that are just getting their start. This is a great business and it is in my blood - my father was a very successful insurance man for 35 years before he was taken in a car accident in 1999. I am also a professional sax player and love hunting and NASCAR (yes, I'm a redneck, and the 48 is for the 5time Champ - Jimmie Johnson). I am also the band leader at my church.

I look forward to getting to know you guys. Thanks for having me.

Welcome, you sound like an interesting individual.
 
Welcome. Just a thought..

Why not do life insurance in general and door-knock neighborhoods? I imagine you'd find a wide variety of needs, and quick to close. Term, perm, kiddy policies and FE.
 
I thought we had hit our quota of agents from GA, but apparenty an exception was made in your case.

Welcome to the forum.

Let us know how you have been successful in FE.

Rick

If you want to be in JD's group I would contact Travis Tubbs directly. He goes by Hoosier Daddy here on the forum.
He is out of Indiana not Texas.
