Who Only Works Appointments and Makes a Great Living?

[lgreen]

I ONLY work by appointment...until I don't.


Here's what I mean by that. The only time I typically door knock these days is if I am training somebody or the wife did not schedule the amount appointments she normally does (might happen 1-2 a month).



Today I only had two appointments on the books. BOTH rescheduled. So I had to dust off some old leads with no phone numbers in the hundred degree heat and door knock, because if I do not sell at least 1 policy a day I get hemorrhoids.



Ended up selling a Forester's for $107 a month.



Sometimes you got to do what you got to do.



When I started in this business however, I would come home with bloody knuckles on a regular basis. And it's not because I'm a knuckle dragging Neanderthal like Gooner would lead you to believe

Just curious if you are getting 40 leads a week then how many on average don't have phone numbers? Not door knocking the no numbers would add up the dollars over time.

would be nice to see you take over as authority figure on this forum over JD... You seem UNBIASED from your videos to posts..

Authority is given, unlike power which is earned. Ill take either but I think you got it all wrong about JD. Do I agree with everything he says, nope. Most, yep. If you think for one moment he is a shill you absolutely dont know the first thing about the man, furthest thing from a shill I have ever had the pleasure of calling a friend and a great fellow agent. You dont know what you dont know, oops, there I go again, repeating a JDism

Sshhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't spell it out for BCrane. I've got JD silently recruiting him.

Pretty amazing there LA007. You do a quarter of a million in AP all by door knocking.

I haven't averaged out the entire year yet but I did just submit proof of production for my previous quarter. Just over $60,000. Got me some contracts to boot :P

You should write a book about how you do it. You should have plenty of time to write this book since you don't have any friends.

I'm sorry, I don't know you... I guess that means you're an expert on my social life...

Just a Forum joke...I don't know you personally but cold door knockers are typically friendless.

He was joking. One of the FE experts told one of the door knockers that any one that cold knocked was some kind of low life with no friends and lived in a trailer. He was not joking. He was trying to belittle him.

I'm pretty sure PCB was joking around with you, as I was. He was referring to a door knocking thread from last week(as was I) where someone said the things we did. We were joking with you and making light of those comments.

I never called him a shill. He probably is a great agent but there is no question fex is taking care of him for his services in some form or fashion for herding sheep by making this business seem full of lovely people who answer the phone and love having agents in their house soliciting insurance.. No one is excited about buying burial insurance. JD literally makes it sound like people are waiting by the phone ready to have a lovely conversation about their burial expenses and if they are not ready to buy one is incompetant. Not to mention his disrespect for todd daviso. Todd is a final expense superstar and great person.

TT's style of humor just goes way over your head.

That was kind of funny.

Must be a VERY dry type of humor.
