Is the old school way of insurance sales- gone forever?

Haha. Man... this makes me miss the good old days of selling face-to-face.

Almost every time I've had a gun pulled, it was rural. But that's just how they answered the door to any stranger.

The only time I felt like someone was actually going to shoot me was in a nice suburban neighborhood. The guy was early 60s and had a newer Corvette in his garage; no idea why he sent in an FE lead.

We had an appointment, he tried to cancel, and I showed up anyway. When I pulled up, he ran inside his house and ran back out aiming a pistol at me. I was parked in the street in front of his house, and he kept daring me to set foot on his property. I told him to f*ck off and got out of there.

Nut jobs are not exclusively younger thugs

Almost every time I've had a gun pulled

What? Is this on the regular?

Man I appreciate phone sales

But seriously is this really that common now?

Most days Mildred doesn’t ever point the gun at you. She just shoots a warning shot into the floor.

Not super common. I could probably count on both hands how many times it's happened, and I've been at this almost 4 years.

Closer to 3 times a year for 4 years lol. But yes, l agree.

It's usually when I'm out door knocking leads, and these rural rednecks think they have to answer the door with a shotgun or pistol aimed at me. It's a bit overly cautious on their part in my opinion.

Never had a gun pulled on me ever =)

I know tons of door knockers all over the country that work mostly rural . I work 90% rural and have knocked 7k plus doors . I might have heard 1 or 2 total that had gun pulled , I’ve never had a gun pulled . Jewell must be super aggressive pissing people off to have a gun pulled 3-4 times a yr .
