Looking for f2f upline

[DHurd]

Started off with final expense phone sales. Got some sales under my belt, but I really cant stand doing it on the phone when you're at the mercy of them hanging up. I think its alot harder for someone to tell you to get out of their house than it is to click the phone off on a stranger. So I'm looking for a f2f upline for me and my brother, because he just got liscenced too. We are in maine. Dont care if you're not locals virtual is fine for that.

We are also starting at our dad resturant to help them out. We would be doing cold knocks one or two days a week. Not interested in a lead vendor.

I'd call Todd King and Matt Mungia first on that.

You are green and talking about working part time. An upline is not going to pursue you. You are going to have to work it from your end and convince them why they should invest time in you. I suggest you be on the phone working them like you would a lead, rather than waiting for them to come to you here. Best wishes.

Yeah man, filling out a piece of paperwork that takes 5 minutes or less and then getting a slice of comission from everything that person you spent 5 minutes on to fill out a sheet goes on to produce, is pretty rough bro.gotta work em like a lead bro. Gotta prove to them that you're worth taking thousands from for 5 minutes of work bro.

OK IMOs, the line forms to the right. No shoving.

Something tells me the PM at the moment is not performing social distancing as directed by the CDC.

Matt Mungia @SPUR CITY here on the forum has been a great upline for me and he was an actual top producer and still writes business himself face to face servicing his book and referrals. FEX Contracting is worth talking to as well (reach out to @jdeasy or @NAF1138 here on the forum through DM if you want to find out about their experiences).

I'm entering my 4th year with Matt and I'll answer your questions if you have any - PM Me. If you aren't working leads and you are going to cold knock then the two big things will need from your upline are 1) FE specific training (sales is sales, but FE sales is a special subset - don't assume you know it all just because some folks hung up on you on the telephone), and 2) making sure you get street level contracts to start and your upline won't screw you.

Also, if you really are going to cold knock, look up some of my posts. I've knocked some cold doors over the last few years and there is definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about it.

Neither myself nor the two agents I mentioned (JD and NAF) are recruiters.

When I was green and ready to start part time I had no shortage of recruiters wanting my contracts.

I made the mistake of going off forum for contracts. If I could do it over again, I'd have gone straight away with @SPUR CITY.

Actually, I had talked to Scott "Newby" Burke first and I did want to go with FEX initially beffore I spoke with anyone else, but @NAF1138 was mailing to my home county(ies) and @Newby wouldn't take me.

It all worked out. I'm happy where I landed. I made some mistakes before I got here but since I got on The Squad, its been smooth the whole way.

That's the hardest part of being a good Upline. Not taking on a good agent simply because I have the area already covered by another good agent. Many agencies never get that part right. They just stack them up on top of each other.
