Is FE only popular in certain parts of the country?

The odds of being first are generally slim and none. But there is almost always room for one more. The question is are you willing to do what it takes to succeed. Kind of cliche, but it is. If other people are doing it successfully, then so can you. The only question is will you? What are you going to do to stand out enough to succeed?

Very true. There is a successful final expense agent making six figures in every state in the continental United States (and probably in HI and AK).

More or less, people are people.

I bet Alaska is wide open.

Any of you telesales guys ever call up yonder?

Up until recently I was appointed in Alaska. I didn't receive a lot of leads from there nor did I do a lot of business. I'm not sure why that is, but I get the feeling that it was more the "individual attitude" of the state's population.

I used to do a lot of business in Mississippi but most of that was AIG and Gerber GI. Even though I am still licensed there I've found it's not really worth it financially for me. It's a product they seem to want but can't afford.

It's not about it being "popular" as much as some parts of the country are a lot easier to sell in than others. When I worked Jackson Mississippi, it was like taking candy from a baby. Then half of them were NSF's.

Has anyone ever heard of a "Top Producer" in Miami? Of course not. There was one several years ago. I realized he was an agent I worked with @ The Hartford so I tracked him down. When we got together, he flat out told me that he was rolling out (twisting) everything he sold to the next carrier, and doing that over and over, every 9 months or so.

Isn't that illegal?
