Thoughts on Cross-Selling?

[Newby]

I was referring more to the income ceiling that comes with FE. The very best in FE sales are usually between $300,000-$500,000. A great living, but on the low side of income compared to other products in the industry.

You are correct. If an agent can't budget himself on that he will need to move on to something else. Great info.

The average highbrow agent is just as broke as the average FE agent. The exceptional highbrow agent can make more than a FE agent can, sure, but for some people (me) It's more about lifestyle than money. You couldn't PAY me enough to spend my life kissing up to trust fund aholes at the country club. I'd rather go sell a bunch of small policies to broke people and go play golf without having to impress some *** that never worked for his money or some 75 year old that was a superstar in the 70s and hasnt done anything since.

Bingo. Many people here think I hate the FE deadbeats. I really dont, deadbeat is a term of endearment. Id much rather work with these....mostly salt of the earth blue collar and low income people than that of the nose in the air morons and trust fund babies. I have already done that in life and I hate those buggers.

Best move of all is for that specialist to be your wife to keep it all in the family.

Yep yep yep, I know, but until that happens.......

Yes. Almost everyone else is making $300,000+ in the insurance industry. I don't know what you low achievers were thinking.

I believe the top annuity, life, and D.I. salesmen make a lot more than $300,000. Never said everyone else was low achievers. Saying best can usually make a lot more in other venues.

Who even cares about average. I can see you want to paint extreme pictures. An FE agent, talking about other insurance clients lack of work? You lost credibility at that moment.

So I take it you are not going to draw any more money out of your trust fund?

You are the one spouting off the nonsense. Between the two of you one of you has no credibility and it ain't Biggin.

I don't know that I've seen someone more clueless post here. Unless it's the LH people.

I don't understand why anyone is responding to an obvious forum troll. He just joined and all 7 posts are insulting.,

I'm the only one here that's allowed to insult FE agents!

Actually you are the one that is painting extreme pictures.. The agent in annuity, Life or DI that makes more 300K is about like the proverbial hen's tooth. So, is the agent that makes it in FE. However, there area few agents in every market that are in the top 1% of income earners in the US so when it comes down to it, an agent needs to make a decision based upon working the market they enjoy.

Yes, you have to pay your child support.. You get in trouble if you don't.
