Setting DM Appts by Phone

[Newby]

Hmmmm.........I only recruit in Va. and NC, not nationwide. I like for my agents to come get some one-on-one training. If you'll notice in my signature line I train both field sales and tele-sales. Neither way is really superior than the other, it all depends on what the agent prefers. I've had agents fail with field sales and also fail with tele-sales. I've also had agents flourish with field sales and flourish with tele-sales. About 1/2 of my 32 agents do face 2 face and about 1/2 do tele-sales.

I think that I've offered some helpful nuggets up here concerning selling FE. At least the phone calls I receive and occasional agent posts verify that.

But Gordon, just because you failed at tele-sales with Sr Life and also failed at field sales with Lincoln Heritage gives you as much credibility being a FE expert as Ms. Jones telling you "her bank messed her up".

I can't recall you EVER giving any helpful info on selling, working leads, etc. All you ever do is belly ache about one of the places you've failed at.

Whenever JD criticizes you like to jump on the band wagon, along with a couple of others. I've stood the test of time and will continue to stand the test of time.

Newby, with posts like this from JDEasy and Gordon, do you really think it would be beneficial to do that tele-sales webinar you were thinking about?

Yes, I think JD is being too extreme. You add good info to the forum. I'm not sure why JD wants to keep the Hatfield and McCoys thing going. I keep meaning to ask him. I think mainly he likes yanking your chain.

I wish this forum would get back to more good exchange of information. The bickering back and forth is good if it's funny. It's often not funny.

I think we should do a good interview and I can promise you it will have your phone ringing as the go to guy for getting into FE phone sales.

Extreme?? What the hell are you talking about? He posted here at the forum that I recruited agent to EFES and Travis and travis gave me kickbacks for doing that.

That is an outrageous lie!!

And, no it's not funny and no I'm not just playing with him or toying with him.

His deceptive sales practices are one thing but telling out right lies about me is quite another thing altogether.

Yea, lets clear the airways, we want to know how your FE telesales approach is so successful.

I'll second this.
I'm one of the many forum member that enjoys reading Greg's little pearls of wisdom. I believe he is a great salesman that offers some unique advice that I often think, 'wow, that is good...don't know why nobody has posted that idea before'.
Greg, I do hope you go through with the Newby interview. I would look forward to it.

You agree that's it's exteme for me to call out his lying about me?

Nope, I ignored that part...I was speaking of his sales advice.

Same here. There are a lot more people on this forum that sell on the phone than admit to it.

My point is, you have made your case about that many times. You don't have to pounce on him everytime he posts because he is "recruiting."

It stifles good conversations from ever getting started sometimes.

JD, if you were in a bar and Greg was sitting next to you and you guys didn't know who each other were and started swapping stories, you would be fast friends. You just have pegged him as someone you hate. I really see it as a Hatfield-McCoy thing.

C'mon take it to another thread. This is gonna end up in the Fight Club.

You are simply wrong about that. And I don't get on him about his recruiting except to point it out when he posts off topic just to mention telemarketing.

Nor did I decide to just "hate" him. I would be the same about anyone that lied about me. And if we were sitting in a bar and he said that stuff I would punch him in the mouth, not be friends with him.

I already siad that it would be interesting to hear his interview with you. Those things are quite different.

If you go back through the archives you will find that he attacked me personally way before I ever said anything to or about him.

But, bantering back and forth over the business is one thing. And I think the way he does business is part of what gives all agents a bad name. But speading malicious lies is a whole different ballgame.

If you can't understand that then you know less about me that I thought you did.
