The best free advice you will ever get.

You are wrong. The best advice is "buy low and sell high" followed closely by "Plastics." (hope someone gets that)

Now, you wouldn't mean "The Graduate," would you? (Mrs. Robinson)

I sent you the money and I can still see all my posts. What a ripoff!!

At 'Software that doesn't work 'R Us', we strive to provide world class service.

Please call our tech support line, they will help you. Your call is very important, but not important enough for us to actually answer it. Your expected wait time is 8 days, 3 hours, 16 minutes and 12.43 seconds. Of course, this could vary.

If you prefer, please leave a message that we can ignore.

If you would like to have a refund, we will gladly evaluate it. Please have the tech support representative refer you to billing. Please understand, our goal is to make you happy with our product, so our tech support lines are much more efficient than our billing phone support.

We are happy to report, that so far, nobody has ever asked our billing department for a refund, so I'm sure you will be happy with the product, just like our other customers.

Please enjoy the distorted obnoxious music while on hold.

Hey do you recomonend any good books to buy on the business?

If you are on this forum you are reading it. Just not in the usual format for publishing.

I find that if an agent will read the brochure, he will know everything he needs to know to get started. The brochure works as a script. Memorize the features and benefits. Your presentation has to be the same everytime or else you will fail. Stick to the script. Follow basic salesmanship. Qualify, present then assume close. Know the objections and cover them in your presentation. Be personable and listen to what they want. You can check out books from the library on sales. It's like writing a story. You start with an outline - opening, body and ending.

Best advice I've read here recently. Exactly on point.

This forum is great because it allows for the free flow of ideas, experience, new concepts and really good information. A book is static and unchanging (at least until it is updated and a new version is released). This forum is continuously updated and the ability to ask and answer questions makes for a great combination of reading room and Q&A session.

"buy low and sell high"

A quote with similar sentiments, but stated differently . . .

"Buy some stocks. When they go up, sell them. If they don't go up, don't buy them."

If you are new to this business and want to sell Life, Health, P&C, Annuities or even pet insurance. My advice to you is to take a weekend and read ALL of the posts pertaining to your chosen field. It is truly amazing how much useful information can be gleaned from this forum.
When I found this site I spent a weekend doing exactly that. I have sold heath and life for 17 years, and still I was able to cut and paste 19 pages of notes, articles, links and general information. Some of which I had used in the past, but as it worked so well, I quit using it.
Believe me this will be time well spent, and will be of immense help to get you started.
There is a wealth of information here, read it, takes copious notes, utilize it and you will be off to a good start.

I couldn't agree more. The internet has really made a change for the better, with blogs and message boards and other interactive websites. People searching the net are looking for a place where they can get honest opinions and advice from other like minded people and this is a great example of that.
