New to Insurance, Not to Sales.

D2D, Take it from us. It's rough out there. It takes hard work and money and support and a hundred other things to get started and be successful enough to pay the bills. No one here wants anyone to fail and I don't believe anyone is trying to deter someone from getting into this business. It's more of learn from our mistakes and our successes and go into it with realistic expectations. Be wary of recruiters promising that you'll make a bazillion dollars in your first year. Find a mentor or an IMO that will give you training. Nothing's free and you may have to give up a few points to get that training, but it will pay off down the road. Good money can be made, but it takes time.

PS, Go Hawks!

Update. Started knocking last Thursday. Since then a little under 5k in premium. What REALLY gets me excited is the referrals coming in. Gotta be patient and take a few days off for holidays.... After tomorrow

Are you door knocking off a list or just cold door knocking?

Are you door knocking off a list or just cold door knocking?

Pretty much cold. Just a plot map of an area.

What's your pitch at the door

Just did another $2900 this morning. I go "hey, what kind of dog (tractor, boat, lawn ornament, whatever) is that?" Then we BS until they ask what I am there for. Then I go into my routine.

50% of the job... is just showing up and doing it.

My motto is: 50% of the job is showing up half the time.

My motto is: 50% of the job is showing up half the time.

I call it in 80% of the time.
