Final Expense Telesales

[theinsuranceman]

Guy, I'm going to warn you one time and one time only not to go where you're going. You don't know me and you don't know my situation at all. I've never once taken things to a personal level like you do to jd often, and I don't want to.

So I will say again, and I won't reapond to your statements, ease up.

I've said many times, your method is a legitimate way to sell FE successfully. What I wanted to see was some technique.

That is all.,

Tom...no hard feelings. The "technique" you refer to in your last sentence above is right where I said it was...."call Scott". Sorry if I sounded harsh but you have PMed me and called me every couple months about this issue. Pick up the phone and call Scott.

You guys must have a lot more appointments than me if you're trying to get the client to NOT talk.

You are so right.

Tom, Greg....

Wouldn't a commission statement prove the numbers, and leave out the inflation? I mean they can be edited to black out any personal information and they would prove the numbers that so many are wanting to see.

Just sayin

Is there anymore proof needed that telemarketing FE by phone is da bomb?

Newby , are you listening? FE agents everywhere get on this train. It's the wave of the future. If one guy can do $7000 ap in a week, everybody can.

Why is this falling on deaf ears? This is the opportunity of a lifetime. Don't think so? Just google the phone number and see all the places where they will tell you this the opportunity of a lifetime.

I wish they were having better luck recruiting FE agents to the new age. Again, Newby, are you listening?

After you get newby, go to Stratos, then Hoosierdaddy then agentbartlett. Those are some of the top FE agents in the US. Imagine what they could do if they would come into this century?

You'd think so, wouldn't you

I was just about ready to buy into it but then I got forwarded an e-mail last week from a Lincoln Heritage field rep.

He was trying to get a friend of mine who manages a funeral home to sell their Lincoln Heritage Pre-need Insurance.

When my friend had reservations about doing any business with LH because the LH final expense agents are telling families that they will MAKE the funeral homes sell funerals at lower prices...here comes the good part....the LH field rep sent an e-mail saying that they don't hardly sell any of that final expense product anymore. And the only people who buy it are (his words not mine) Mexicans.

Seems like a nice company with a LOT of ethics.

All I know is face to face. I would like to be able to an occasional phone sale though for people that are too far to drive to.

It would be interesting to see the statistics. Take 10 new agents of varying skills and backgrounds and have them sell FE over the phone.
Then take another batch of 10, same thing, varying skills and backgrounds, but have them sell FE in a more traditional way.

Also, both groups have roughly the same amount of starting capital.

I have a hunch that there would be some measure of success in both groups.

BUT, I also have a hunch that the 2nd group, selling FE the tradition way, would outperform overall. They would likely stick with it longer, and overall, as a group, would do better.

Like I said before, I don't have experience doing the telesales and I don't plan on trying it out. I'll stick to more time-tested ways. Plus, traditional FE methods "fit me better."

I'm not against doing things differently. I'm just hesitant to think of telesales as being better, in almost any fashion, than traiditional methods.

When someone needs to be sold on the selling technique...

Not everyone succeeds with tele-sales just like not everyone succeeds with face 2 face. However.....if you are successful with face 2 face (less than 20% of new agents during 1st yr.) then you would be even MORE successful using tele-sales. Just a more efficient way of selling FE.

Most people fail with tele-sales just like most people fail with face 2 face.

Just curious, if you write $7000.00 per week, and I have no doubt that you do, what is the $ amount of cargebacks per week and the $ amount of weekly lead cost? In other words, what is you net income per week?

Good idea. Only problem is anyone can make a fake comm. stmt., scan it on their computer, then post it so it looks legit.

I've had plenty of experience selling with face 2 face and tele-sales, so I have a good idea of what I'm talking about. If you like face 2 face keep doing it.

I don't ave. $7k per week. I can write it but it takes a LOT of work...just like writing $4k face 2 face requires a lot of work. Charge back % same as face 2 face if you know what you are doing.

I could see FE telesales as working BUT I don't want to sell Lincoln Heritage period.

Once a real final expense company like Settlers, Oxford, Monumental, or RNA make an easy way to enroll people over the phone, I could see some sales happening that way.

I would rather have a vasectomy by a weed wacker than be a FULL TIME telemarketer though.
