Struggling to Write Apps.

[Insuranceman]

What is up with this summer? I was averaging a app a day untill i got back from vacation in July. Now I'm stuggling to get 1-2 med supps apps a week. Both me and my telemarketer have beef up our efforts and still seeing a decrease in leads production and sales.

You're not alone insuranceman...the last 2 weeks have been awful for me as well. I don't know if its because it's Summer or what.....alot of people I've been talking to have taken off for vacations, etc. So that might have something to do with it. Internet leads have been awful too! I'm sure there's other agents having the same problem....hang in there!

Agree... the last 2 weeks ground to a slower pace. But, hay it's freaken 105 degrees out there. Can ya blame em!

One of the biggest mistakes agents make in the building process is getting used to "a" norm. Things change. Seasons, holidays, weather, etc. you must adapt. If things drop off the agent's efforts must increase.

I remember having to work twice as hard for weeks and months during certain times of the year to keep my 5-7 supps/week average going. It's tough.

Now it pays off. I write one/two per week without prospecting at all.

Don't get down guys... it'll pay off.

When things slow down it also is a good time to sharpen the saw. Tweak a few things. Get some office supplies. Knock a few more things off your to-do list.

It's kinda like a NASCAR race. Stuff happens and it can be a good time to take a pit stop. Accept the yellow flag. Change a couple of tires and top off. Then Boogity, Boogity, Boogity... Let's Go Racing Boys & Girls!!!

It is called summer. If you think seniors are hard to reach now, try getting that business owner who is getting in his family vacation before school starts again.

There is a reason many companies have a sales contest start after Labor Day every year.

The same here as well. It has slowed down during the last couple of weeks.

Had my telemarketer switch to calling small business owners for life ins quotes. She just called me to let me know she got 5 leads the first hour.

I have without a doubt had the two worst production weeks of my career maybe written 1000 in AP in the past 10 working days... So I'm gonna blame it on " the summer funk" thing..
