Failure is Not an Option. Please Help.

They are not captive, but want full commitment from their agents.

Does that mean they do not allow their agents to sell other products such as term life and health?

Get with Mark R or Todd K - they both can get you going.

You need to sell over the phone based on your limitations and schedule.

You can make a very nice living - selling via the phone.

The group out of thomasville is Senior Life. They don't want you selling other products and have a very, very restrictive contract - read it good. If you go with them - get immediate vesting - it's a separate contract. But, IMHO there are hundreds of better options out there.

Good luck,

Tom

Full Commitment is code for captive. My first health insurance incarnation was UGA, I know what full commitment means.

I'm not licensed yet and have no experience with insurance. How do you sell on the phone?

That would be super awesome having two kids at home myself?

Im in the same boat. Youll be running on scripts each day and improvising the rest of the conversation to fit the situation. You essentially build confidence in the product and realize youre doing them a service and let them know youre saving them money, time, hassle, and the rest will come naturally.

When you start calling have a mirror in front of you and try to smile at all times. Your voice will resonate much better when you smile. Also try standing up rather than sitting down while on the phone.

I'm in East Tennessee and I am an agent with Western & Southern. FANTASTIC COMPANY TO WORK FOR. I may be leaving the company soon, but it has nothing to do with the company. I could stay there until retirement, but my wife is taking a job in an area where they have no office, so I may have to leave...

What?

You certainly aren't saving them money. FE is expensive if they don't already have a policy. With life insurance - you are having to "sell" someone into spending money that they don't already spend.

LOL - it doesn't come naturally - it comes with practice and having access to training and leads . . .
