I knocked on a door in a trailer park yesterday morning and after about five minutes of rustling, a 350 lb woman in a disgustingly filthy housecoat answered the door. The stench of urine and garbage almost knocked me off the porch. I am not even kidding. It was so bad that I didn't want to go inside without a hazmat suit. Seriously, it was THAT bad. I was so knocked for a loop that I told them that I was in a hurry and would have to come back tomorrow morning (today).
I almost blew them off this morning because I didn't think they'd end up having two nickels to scrape together. Decided to just go because it's close to my house. I feel pretty ashamed in even having had that thought. I've had it many times before. Turns out that they had more than enough money after expenses to pay for an insurance policy.
I ended up getting the guy a really great deal on life insurance and made $660 in about 45 minutes. That's the beauty of FE sales.
I can say in all honesty that I really don't even care about the money. He was so happy to have protected his family. Super relieved that his beloved toothless wife would not be in a bind when he dies. It was a really cool thing, beautiful actually, and I could tell how much they sincerely appreciated it. With the sunny weather, it was a great day. Remembered how important this is to people. Humbling.
The best part is that I never even went inside. I told them I only make house calls when it starts getting warmer because I am deathly allergic to cats and dogs. He rolled his wheelchair out onto the landing and we did the whole thing outside. I didn't want to make them feel bad and that was the best excuse I could come up with for not going in the house. The wind was blowing paperwork all over the yard. Stuck my head in the house before I left to say goodbye, and it actually looked even worse than I thought yesterday. ****, literally and figuratively, EVERYWHERE. Definitely one to remember.
I really love this niche!
