Is Anybody Making Real Money Out There?

[helgaemines]

New agents always seem to think that leads are people sitting at home with their check books open just waiting for us to come by so they can buy a policy...lol.

You are completely right!

Decide for yourself if anyone is making good money:

2021 State of the Senior Market Independent Agent Report | New Horizons (newhorizonsmktg.com)

Agents who make more than $100,000 annually are most likely to work 50-59 hours per week. The only surveyed agents who reported working 70 hours per week or more make over $100,000 per year.

Assuming you are excluding P/C agents from this?

There are a lot of agents making $100K that work less than that. It all depends upon a person's desire, need, market and ability.

Do I get a lower response rate? Absolutely. Do I miss some sales, probably. Am I profitable? Yep. Are they more engaged? Absolutely.

Do I like to ask myself a lot of questions? YES!

j/k Travis...good input.

The good thing about asking yourself the questions is you can ask only those questions to which you know the answer...

Who works 50 hours a week at this job? If you do you better be knocking down 250k minimum. I started at Combined Ins. Company 1986 I made a whopping 20,000.00 how things change.

Well, in today's dollars that is $47K.. Not bad for a first year..

I think this idea is unrealistic. To work 70 hours a week, we are talking about an average of 10 hours a week (including Saturdays and Sundays).

Where is your family life?

Where is your personal life?

Where is it if you are sick or have an emergency in your family?

Thank you!

Some agents have very little family and personal life. They are obsessed with their work. There was a time when I worked 12-14 hours per day M-F and 4 or 5 hours on Sat. I did take off if one of the kids had something special at school, etc..
