I tried to sell a Medicare advantage plan yesterday in my underwear. Needless to say they slammed the door in my face and said they were calling the police.
No Pictures, No pictures.
The only problem I see with that concept is that new agents are told that and they believe it because they want ot believe it. The result is they fail miserably and don't have a clue why. The "big guys" said it would it would work, so why am I broke? "I must be a failure."
I can't remember the thread title but it was started by Al3 and shows an ad where it is stated that an agent can make $250,000 a year selling using the internet. That should be illegal.

Frank - I have to second your comment - as a brand spanking new agent- it's so hard to resist the temptation of signing up for this annuity sales program - or that life ins. sales program - that PROMISES 200,250,300K a yr. I WANT it to be true.. But I have been down similar roads in the past (not with insurance but 'direct sales') and I KNOW better. I may be green in the insurance industry, but I know nothing comes without investing your time and hard work.

When I was captive the manager ran an ad that said:
Show Me the Money!
First year income $150,000
No experience necessary, work from home, free leads.
Call and get started today.

Call and get started today.
He was so proud of the ad, for real. I belive most of the calls came from pay phones and I'm sure the person calling had to bum a quarter to make the call.
I told him I thought that was terrible and he just laughed. This is the same guy who gave me a couple hours of training, if that, my first day, a stack of apps and a voter registration list. Those were my "free leads".
In case you are wondering, the ran the ad after I started and I didn't respone to that one. The ad I responded to only said $100,000.
