The holidays are busy times for everyone. January is bad too because of first of year stuff. February everyone is focused on snow melting and valentines day. March = too cold. April = too rainy. May and June people are too worried about their taxes. July and Augest the kids are out of school and it's too hot. September kids go back to school so too busy with that. October has all the Medicare enrollment starting and Halloween and stuff.

Agents that do well with FE don't worry about any of that stuff. They get contracted, get leads and go sell. TODAY is the right day. And it doesn't matter what day on the calendar today is.

I had a contract in Alaska. The worst time of year = January through March. I think the State shuts down for Iditarod. FYI, Alaskans are a crusty bunch.

If I had to do it over again I never would have left the car business. You get to work nights and Saturdays. And you don't have to decide if your going to work today as they make that decision for you. I find the less decisions you have to make for yourself, the better.

Come to think of it selling dope in college was also a very enjoyable time in my life.. I never should have left college.

But then again working at Cedar Point was also very nice. I'd probably recommend trying that first!

it does slow down in December. Then you could sell FE part time.

Hello All, I am brand new to insurance and currently work for a MLM captive company. I started doing my research and realize I need to find a FE IMO and go Indy.

However, I read somewhere that November and December are slow months. I know it takes about 3 weeks for a DM campaign to come back with responses and that will put me in November. Plus I don't know how long it takes to sign up with an IMO and get signed up with carriers.

So should I wait till after December or should I go ahead and take the plunge now? I was also thinking to maybe get my health license now before I sign with an IMO. Not to use it now but to get it out of the way now for use some time in the future after I'm more experienced with FE.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

I would also advise you to get your health license. It will come in handy and now is your best time to get it done before you get too busy.

As others have stated, I also did quite well during the last quarter of the year. 'Tis the season to buy!

Anytime is good, but my best months of the last two years were December. You are in New Jersey so I think you should definitely contact @Baseball7 Mr. Chris Smith. He is not my upline but I've met him and I've seen him at work and from what I hear he is over $300K in personal production THIS year. You want someone who is capable of big numbers on his own pen - can't argue with $300K in FE.

if your up line is shaky now, they will expect you to be too
get away now! GET FAR away
doing insurance the right way will always pan out in the end. I so enjoy sleeping at night.

I'm in the NJ so it does snow here. I've only worked 2 weeks so far in the field on my own. Once I got the job and before I was released in the field, is when I started researching and finding out I needed to run from this place. I've only sold 2 policies so was not making money. I did training in the field with my upline for 2 1/2 weeks and he sold 2 policies so that told me there may be something wrong from the hype of what they were saying in the meetings that you will make. I was pretty turned off during training when my upline did some pretty unethical stuff just to get the sale. That's why I feel I need to run now. I have money saved up to buy maybe a month worth of leads. I am a stay at home mom looking to get back into the work field. My income won't be needed for us to survive since my husbands income covers our expenses.

AIL?
