Insurance Is A Tough Business

Re: Tough

The old saying what goes around, comes around normally holds true in this business.. The crooks and shysters normally don't last.. Unfortunately they do hurt a lot of clients along the way.

...and make it a little harder for the rest of us.

Ins is easy. Most all my carriers direct deposit.

I do agree that there is tough competition in the insurance business due to availability of large number of insurance providers. Selling is a tough part of it and finding new ways to help existing customers and potential customers is also really complicated.

Very insightful Ryan! Thanks for weighing in!

This is a tough business.

When I first started I wondered why everyone wasn't doing it.

I have ran three different businesses and all of them were tough. Tell me what business isn't tough? Just ask Kmart and Sears.

I called Kmart and the lady that answered said it was really easy... I'm confused

I drank the koolaid when I started. I'm making about 1/3 of what they claimed was the first year average.

I feel like I was better when I was new. Almost full time for a year now and debating on even renewing my licenses.
I'm not stupid. Just feel that perhaps talking to people is not my strong point. Analysis of data is more my forte.

Sheldon - how many appointments are you running each week? This is a numbers game - the more people you see the more sales you make and the money you earn. You don't have to be super-salesguy, just set lots of appointments and the sales happen,

I have never found the insurance business to be a "tough business", especially when compared to other types of business.
