You hit the nail on the head. What amazes me is some agents think every area is the same as far as appointments, leads and sales, they are not the same in every area, some areas are vastly different.

Why don't the agents in the bad area move to the good areas?
If I dream of being a farmer I better not live in New York City.
There is a solution to every problem.

You nailed it. Let me sell my wife's preschool, up root my family, move away from my parents, my in-laws, my friends etc... Man, I wish I had thought of that!
OR maybe some of us discovered this path after they were settled and life isn't as easy as packing up and moving.
Besides...I never dreamed of being a FE agent

My wife and I have had this conversation but we LOVE our home...
We drive 20 minutes north to Downtown Fort Lauderdale
The Miami Dolphins stadium is 10 minutes west of us
A 30 minute drive south and we can see The Miami Heat play
We are 2.6 miles from the beach

You only have the two choices. Battle the demons and make it work or move to the easy pickins areas.
I guess the third choice would be figuring out which products are hot in your area.
I have great funeral home connections there if you ever want to get into pre-need. More affluent class of people.

You have definitely made it work for you. But let me paint a beautiful picture for you...A house right on Southern Indiana's finest beach! Miles of pure white sand all to yourself with that warm tropical breeze blowing in off the Indiana ocean. It doesn't get any better than that. You can build your dream house where the leads come easy and the road to prosperity is freshly graveled. These Hoosier honeys usually fit nicely into 5-Stars height weight chart and for the few who don't...there's always Transamerica.
Football Stadiums are for tourists! Get into the heart of Amerika! Come see the country's 2nd largest street festival every October where you can sample Bar-B-Q Bear Balls and deep fried what-nots. Ride your motorcycle through the Indiana mountains and meet the finest ripest FE prospects the world has ever seen. They all have checking accounts and know how to use them. Their only objection is "Why do they only let me buy $25,000?"
Let me know if you need a referral to a good realator.
This offer is of course open to Gooner too or any agent stuck in a heckhole of a state. Come to God's country. You'll never look back.

Thank you. I did get into a bit of a zone on that tale.
If I ever learn how to write one of those e-books I do probably have one or two inside of me. Half fiction and half non-fiction. It'd be up to the reader to figure out which is which.

I don't understand the barage of negativity here. Doug put up a good day. Why is it hard to fathom 5k from 7 apps or is it 5k in a day?
I'd bet he ran 14 appointments and sold 7 apps for the 5k...that is perfectly reasonable. He's said over and over again he runs 3 days a week...why wouldn't he have time for service work?
Good job Doug! Matt has invited me to the AL showdown...you guys let me know where you're going...I'd love to meet up with you guys. That's of course if Ben oks it
Man I only fight with you and John Galt because I know all 3 of us can handle it. You are more than welcome to come hang. Just leave the Settlers checks and Georgia shirts at the house!
