Staying Appointed With Fe Companies

[WinoBlues]

Have had agents that were a pain in both.

yeah me too. Sometimes it was the guy in the mirror.

Fisher nailed it. Ink on paper. Maybe find a GA as opposed to going direct.

Unless I'm reading this wrong it appears you have written no business, correct? You don't 'build up' to sales, imo. Go out and put some ink on paper. If you have any company you can write for, that is.

Bingo. From what I gather on here, FE is pretty much a one call close. How do you spend 3 months "building up" to FE sales? Either you are selling or you are not.

I don't understand something. How do you build up to sales?

You don't.

ajmae1:

You need to get out there and knock some doors, do a mailer, buy some telemarketed leads.....do something to get yourself in-front of people. There's really no "build up." Find a prospect, set an appointment, and (hopefully) make a sale.

If you need to get re-contracted feel free to give me a call, but you need to be committed to get out and make it happen.

Something is getting lost in the explanation here.

FE Companies don't drop you in 90 days of no production.

There are either bad credit things showing up, flipping business, or poor quality business (deaths that when contested show that the person OBVIOUSLY didn't qualify.) Or smokers being written as non-smokers.

There is some reason they have dropped you. It may be a wrong reason but there is a reason.

It doesn't seem that it was for bad business as there isn't any business at all. Said something about upline termed. I was terminated once for the letter called a "hierarchy" termination. My upline was termed for something and their whole downline went with them. Whatever the problem was on that one was cleared up and I got a re-instatement letter. Never did know what that deal was.

 

[xrac]

What were the companies that terminated you?

 

[SportsNut]

Sounds like personal history issues; felony, theft, credit, vector, etc... Why they wouldn't catch some of this going in and refuse the appt, not sure, but it isn't production related at 90 days in. Also telling that two out of two companies have terminated him, so at least he is batting 1000%.

Good point. I had that happen once, called the company and had my appointment reinstated up the chain. That could be the issue here.

ajmae1: Did they both have the same upline?
