I do 100% agree being a great producer doesn't mean your a great trainer . Training takes patience in addition to knowledge . I saw a video Matthew Murray uses for fe to present . It's a flip chart with 7 lamanated pages . It's really cool and would be super easy for any new person to learn . It essentially lists the 3 ways to be buried . Your money , $300 a month prepaid and a fe policy . They don't Have the $10-$15 k ( check mark) , They don't have the $300 a month ( check mark ) . Then he shows the fe at $70-$90, $100-$120, $130-$150 a month . So now they think compared to $300 that's cheap . Of course you can always adjust to $50 or even less if need be . But the flip chart also has the different types of ins and several other things . It gives a new agent a road map .


JD I know you call for appts almost exclusively . You seen any difference since stir and shake ( call blocking software) went in effect ? Are you having harder time reaching people ? From what I understand if somebody presses a span blocker on a # it's flagged as spam in the database .

No real noticeable difference for me. Nor among other FEX agents. If they are having problems they aren't mentioning on our calls or on the Groupme chats.

I'm doing more DK'ing now than ever but it's by choice, not necessity.

Hey JD,
I remember in times past you would say you hated door knocking leads, just as you hated door knockers at your front door.
Now you say up above that you that door knock more by choice not necessity. What caused the change from hating to do it to doing it by choice?
Kentuckians must not have caller ID if they're picking up the phone just like always. I can assure you that agents in several states have seen a drop in % to answer their phones.

Door knocking and telesales. You really have come full circle.

I'm winding down my career so I don't want to adhere to a schedule. It's that simple. I still hate DK'ing though.

FEX has agents I'm sure in more states than you do and they do not experience the problems that you have with calling. I was not speaking of just Ky.

Maybe you should look inward at your training processes vs trying to insult?

You're always whining about being attacked. Maybe you should look in the mirror on that too?

Not really. I've always sold by phone and always DK'ed.

I've heard agents up here also mention that people pick up the phone less. There's not a whole lot of training needed for dialing a phone #, unless maybe you're from Kentucky? lol. Just joking with you. You sound like a grumpy old man...no insult intended.

How many more years you going to roll

I won't stop completely until I have to. But I plan to shut off my leads this year. Probably in the last quarter? But I have a lot of lot of leads to work once a stop getting new ones. I'll work my book. Work my lead files down. Work referrals. As long as my health is good I'll work. But if I don't feel like working I won't.

I'm far from grumpy. Anyone that knows me would attest to that. But since you don't know me all you can do is insult.

You're right, I don't know you.
