.Feels like, for me, I'd have to weed out roughly 30% of the people I talk to if I went with choosing my clients.
Not opposed to it, but curious if there's a better way to obtain leads to begin with.
Telesales specifically.
I wasn't bright enough to know I could not do it.
I used to write anyone that could fog a mirror. I sat on rickety chairs with jelly on them, stepped over dog chit, smelled some funky stuff. Then dealt with ever changing banks and lapses. Driving 30,000+ business miles a year. F orget that.
Best thing I ever did was starting to walk from or refer out some prospects or letting some lapse.
In the last several years 100% of the policies I've written were call ins or referrals. So I am not the guy to ask on bought leads. If I choose to use the lead credits I have I am adding a bottom income filter and no top income filter. I am to lazy to work that hard.
There are a lot of guys here that work leads mainly. And are killing it.
