Thoughts on the FE telesales biz

[Newby]

The cooking kind....oh wait....that could be either.

That's because you are cooking just the stems.

Todd, don't you just hate people like Greg that are always trying to "stir up shit"? Ramiz is another one. Like 2 peas in a pod.

HA!

Telesales is a tough gig unless you have everything in order. I sold f2f for over 15 yrs and went to selling over the phone out of necessity. I had an accident and couldn't walk for over 4 months, so the phone was my only option.

With the right lead source, and a commitment to do the phone time, telesales can be very lucrative. I have a friend who sells over 1 mil a year on his own pen selling term over the phone. It's just that most agents aren't willing to work 6-8 hrs a day to make things come together.

Yes, I'm new to this forum as far as posting goes....even though I've been here for a long time, and yes I make my living selling FE over the phone. In the last 3 weeks I've sold over 24K in good paper for 3 companies working 30-40 hrs a week on the phone.
