Nuts and Bolts of F.E.

[jdeasy]

Those were some fairly high toned insults they hurled your way. You certainly maintained a much higher degree of self control than I would have under the circumstances, you consistently take the high road, hats off.

The "high road"??? Damn, how low are the raods where you come from?

Most of them are under water after a sprinkle..

Thanks, more "amo" in my portfolio! I appreciate it, my Father was a WW2 vet, and I genunily want to help all vets understand and make a good decision. FYI I finished wathcing "The Pacific" last night, truly the greatest generation.

A bit off topic, but am I alone in thinking The Pacific had nothing on A Band of Brothers? It was good, but no where near as good.

Just curious, what travel team does your daughter play for? What age bracket?

She is a 16u catcher with Miami Valley Xpress out of West Carolton OH. She will be playing this summer in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. I'm on the road every weekend in the summer.

Do you ever make it into Sevierville or Pigeon Forge?

After reading my posts on this thread I realize I came across as a little hostile. Would like to take this moment to apologize to all for this hostility. Must be because I quit smoking recently. I'm sure any agents/mgrs., etc. that were mentioned in this thread are fine people. Good selling to all!

U have lost all credibility....u spread propaganda about a rival competitor of yours and semantics about how JD "worded" how he buys 15 leads a week....and u dont back up ANY of it! Apologize for the LIES u falsely spread too!!

I wonder how many pages could be discarded from this whole forum if the mods scalpeled out any fights....

my guess this forum would be a quarter of the actual size LMFAO

Yep. Played Sevierville a couple times with a team called Cincy Doom. One our favorites. When not playing you have a lot you can do, go carting and stuff.

Fellow F.E. agents, both new and seasoned, I appreciate all of the wonderful information that you provide on this board. I have nothing to contribute except questions at this point.

I do most of my calls via door knocking in a metro area. I recently heard a seasoned agent say that appointments set by phone would see you anyway, but many people say no on the phone that you could get in to see by just showing up, so I cancelled my appointment setter.

J.D. Maybe I need to start getting leads in a more rural areas and follow your path J (respect intended)

Here was my day, 12 door knocks, 8 delivery notices left, 4 call backs, 2 had excuses not to see me or no need, follow up with the others again tomorrow.

1. My first answered door of the day said " I we are heading out in a few minutes but come on in!" Of course I went in, and because of my perceived time constraint, got right to it w/o a proper warm up. He started talking about how he needs to take care of final expenses, has 2 plots etc. we discussed how that is just the beginning and that funeral homes and a funeral can cost 5 to 10K and showed him a GPO. He just said he can do better than that…… etc. And rushed me out the door.

2. Had a WW2 Veteran tell me he is entitled to up to $3000 for burial cost including casket, vault etc. when I showed him the V.A. Information sheet, he said he would call them and look into it.

3. Had a retired Postal worker tell me that the postal service has a wonderful insurance plan and has whole life through them (no she could not produce her policy).

4. Sold two polices.

I know these are mundane questions which we should ask our up lines but………. Being an F.E agent / salesperson / educator this is everyday life, and your experiences can benefit us all, including our prospects who need our products and services. Maybe I take it too personally, but I feel bad when I have a prospect that needs me and I can't get them to commit.

Thanks,
