How Can I Increase My Production?

[rousemark]

Don't get me wrong guys, I do get out there and work. I was just looking for some tips and tricks from the pros. I've been actively seeking advice around the office as well, and reading everything I can get my hands on. There's a lot to learn in your first few months (and I've only been writing since December) so I'm just seeking good solid advice. Thanks for everything you've all posted.

Now, that you have cleared that up.. the answer is practice, practice practice.. The more you put the knowledge you have to use, the better you will get.. Whenever, you leave a house, if you made a sale or not, spend just a few minutes doing an honest critique of yourself.. "What did i do that worker?" What did I do that I need to improve upon".."Did I do anything wrong?" 'if so, was it just unique to that prospect or would the result be the same when talking with others" "If the later, how do I change it?" You will find yourself getting better as the days go by and you will find yourself making more sales with the same effort.

Ok, I'm looking for helpful advice here. If you're just going to post 'Go out and work' then there's no point in posting at all. I'm currently a 1-3 app per week guy. I need to get up to 5 or 6 per week to start making ends meet a little more comfortably.

But here's the kicker: This week, my company is running a contest where they will pay out $250 cold hard cash bonus for EVERY 3 apps turned in over $30 monthly premium. Now, I'd really like to get my hands on about $750 - $1000 of that, so... how can I get my app count up fast? What are some practical tips for increasing throughput with door knocking lead cards or just cold knocking?

There are stories I've heard circulate around the office, from reliable sources, of a gentleman who worked the same area as I do who would turn in between 20-25 apps per week, selling nothing but 1 *guaranteed issue* FE product. How on Earth was he able to accomplish such craziness, especially with a high priced guaranteed issue FE?!

Any input is very much appreciated (especially input into my checking account from the turn-in bonus this week). Thank you!

As others are stating, your Lead Sourse is key. What all are you doing for leads?

Sorry I meant to say source.

Rob, you didn't tell us how you worked your leads, do you knock doors or phone for appointments? Where do you get your leads? How many leads do you get per week? Are your leads rural or city? OR, do you cold call by canvassing an area?

Rob, with all due respect what your hearing in the First Financail office is 99% BS. The social security leads they are providing you with are mostly junk. The best agents in this site wouldn't make much money working those leads.

Its great they are willing to pay a $250 bonus for 3 sales per week, But when you consider they are only paying you 55% and charging you $10 per lead, you my friend need to find a different company to work for, period.

The vast majority of agents working for First Financial are making minumum wage. Then when you factor in your expenses. Most of them are losing money. You need to jump ship if your serious about making money.
