Number of Days in Field

[KRobby]

Because we are talking about working your butt of six days a week and paying your dues vs working two days. Neither makes sense unless you have a goal. If you don't have a number you are trying to hit how will you know when to quit?

You should not only run 2 days in the filed if you only wrote 2k ap but need to write 4k to pay your bills even if you have 20 presentations in 2 days you should probably go out for a 3rd 4th or 5th until you make what you need.





Spoken like someone who has never missed full night's of sleep because you gave your leads over to a person and don't know if they will work them correctly. Mental health counts for something. I have learned to work around my mental illness for the most part, but I tried a setter for 3 months and the stress almost killed me.

Just to clarify, he didn't say not to have a number, he's referring to having an activity number that's controllable rather than a $ number. When the activity number is met it's quittin time. Of course, the trade off is you'd have to be ok with some lower $ weeks knowing that it'll all even out in the end if the mathz is right.

Addressed.

Don't parse. Keep reading.

For starters, you don't know me, so don't pretend that you do.

3 months was too long. You should have figured this person was not qualified in 2 weeks. 3 weeks tops.

Seems like you have all the answers.

You can put me on ignore if you want.

You will be on my ignore list so it is only fair we ignore each other.

I have a P/C agency with 6 other employees, Producers and processors Why do I have them?
1. Because I can't do it all.
2. Frees my time to do the highest value activities (SELL)
3. Allows for specialization so you don't have to know it all.
4. Frees up time to sell Fe or what ever I want.
5. Lowers your STRESS LEVELS.
I can't imagine doing high comp levels and not having help.life is to short.

Yup.

I don't make $$ unless I am talking with a prospect or client. All other activity is necessary and may eventually be productive. But the ultimate goal is to find someone to talk with.

Agents are just like regular folks. They don't want answers. They just want someone to confirm what they BELIEVE to be true.

I did. It wasn't. You didn't read what I wrote. Or I wasn't clear? That's cool. I'm on ignore anyway. So this is for everyone else I guess?

LOL. She was qualified. She always set me all the appointments I needed. I still didn't sleep. So I took it back. You are projecting. I'm also not sure where I asked for advice.

But I don't plan to put you on ignore. I'm not really sure why you are so angry.

I addressed having an activity goal in my post. I just disagree you should stop when you hit it. You should stop once you hit both.

Activity doesn't actually pay my bills. It only theoretically does.

I didn't imply that you didn't, I was addressing when you said "If you don't have a number you are trying to hit how will you know when to quit?" The premise of his post was working towards activity goals, which does have a number. Just making sure both parties have facts straight before moving on to the insightful opinion pieces.

Yea I don't know why he got upset.

I know. I was told that that was insufficient.

Here is another one they told me: If the client doesn't mail the policy delivery receipt within 90 days they will cancel the policy and return the premiums and charge back the agent. But they mail the policy directly to the client most of the time. Policy delivery receipts are easy if I'm the one delivering the policy. Not so easy if the policy is sent directly to the client.

If the company mails the policy to the client then there is no policy delivery receipt needed. Americo should know that.
