Would He Be Successful?

I think he can do it. The question is is he disciplined enough to do it?

That is always the key to any success in life.

I have worked one day/week and I think it's possible. I was not consistent with buying leads, but if I had been, two a week would be doable. More so if he is willing to catch an appt on another day of the week after work.
I also think after hitting 2 sales a week for a few weeks in a row, his view on the situation may change
I will be making the move to full time on 8/1/13. I certainly will be consistent with leads now that eating depends on it I really like to eat LOL

Call me wrong, but I was always brought up in this business as it being a full time only gig. If there's guys out there doing the business as "part-time" and being success, then cudos to them, but Its mainly about focus. For example hold your thumb out in front of you and look towards the wall, then hold it out and focus on your thumb nail only. You realize your perception can't do both at the same time. Either your focused on your thumb nail or your wall. Kind of an out there analogy, but think abour it a little. Its all about focus and perception.....

That would depend on your definition of success.. If you expect to be a company leader working one day per week, you probably aren't going to make it. But if your goal is to make a decent supplemental income then you can succeed working one day per week.

From what I gather since he is a youth pastor his goal is probably to supplement his income. Part time would not interfere with his duties as a pastor so I would assume he would rather stay part time than go full time. 2 sales a week is very doable. Some days they may come in the first half hour. Other days it may take hours to get the first one.

Why not solicit to the senior market that attends the church. I know alot of prospects that would feel a lot more comfortable dealing with a pastor or someone im ministries.

That could possibly be very limited. In our church my wife and I and one other couple are the "seniors". None of us are older than 50

Very true. Really depends on the demographics of the church congregation...

However, the church youth will have grandparents.

I can see that youth group or service now, 'kids I need the names and numbers of your grandparents so I can solicit them' Amen
