Part Time Agent

[Arno]

Mary's version of part time

Hey Mary, also I like how you are working part time. You set your own appointments and you go on 5-10/day. + drive time to the appointments. How exactly is that "part time" Just out of curiosity. And Mary, by the way I am finally selling med sup. Was supposed to get leads yesterday but maybe today.

Hey Arno

I apologize for not calling you --- i got your message but was unable to call you back -- i brought jim home from the hospital today -- his parents are here and -- i have to take them back to the airport on monday... -- all this driving time -- ill probably be able to call you back on my way back -- anyways

to your question about part time -- when i said that -- it was working 2 days a week -- anywhere from 5 to 10 appointments a day

it sounds like things are rough right now -- but you have to remember -- it can get great real fast
everyday is a new day -- think positive -- and remember when you are on the phone calling people -- smile -- you can hear a smile -- and have fun
that is the only way you can do this
if you arent having fun and enjoying what you are doing -- it wont work -- believe me i know!!!!!
jim has been on oxycodone for a year now -- now that this was hopefully the last back surgery -- he can get off of these drugs so i can calm down on the phone -- seniors can really tell when theres a problem --
maybe thats how i can relate to them i dont know -- seems they have all had back surgery or knows someone who has....

but hang in there and keep me updated -- if you need anything i will try my best to help out.

I was in that situation a few years back. I got a full time "regular" job when I started to run out of money. I kept my insurance licenses, sold a couple of deals here and there, but I was not building up my book at all. I got laid off, jump back into insurance again, but I did it with a lot more knowledge.

So, I would say, no. Unless you have a full time job that allows the same flexibility that being a broker does, then maybe, depending on your knowledge.

I'm part time, but I get 15 days off a month. 13 yrs ago I was with Bankers Life and I told the manager I would sell as much as his full time agents...and I did. I did lots of home work, and stayed on the LTC, med sup and FE.
I also bought some Tom Hopkins tapes, and learned to close em like a pro!

Ask anyone who ever tried A.L.Williams or Primerica parttime. It's very, very hard to do insurance unless on a fulltime basis. If selling P/C you have to be available for customer service, unless your broker agrees to handle those phone calls for you.
