You know you're a Final Expense agent when...(fill in the blank)

I had to fire a debit agent years ago for stealing the customer's money. I had to meet him at his place cuz he couldn't drive. He was still coming down from the night before. He told me, "I got to my customer's house and there was a party going on. While I was waiting for her to get her money, I bought a little something to smoke. Then I bought a little more. Then I started buying for everybody there. Before I knew it all the cash was gone!"

Hope you are writing all these stories down to pass on. I figure at your funeral instead of the ordinary call of service, they could include some of your best stories... people wouldn't know to laugh or cry or maybe a little of both. :spinny:
 
When you walk in a house where the thermostat is set at 90 degrees and the client forgot to empty the commode as she will not let me leave the door open on a beautiful 50 degree day cuz she cold! Nothing like fermented stench baking into my clothes. I bailed within 2 minutes plus I stepped in some random liquid from the garbage bag sitting near the front door. Only in Chitown

Not only in Chitown. Dallas, too. A real insurance man would have written the policy, then get in the car and drive a little ways. Then pull over and vomit!:1laugh:

My first debit was serving clients in southeastern Virginia in the brackish backwaters around the Great Dismal Swamp. In the summer, the humidity was seriously intolerable. A lot of my clients had these big room-filling furnaces in their living room. The old people were scared to turn out the pilot light in case they couldn't get it back on when it turned cold again in 6 months! They were also apparently scared to open any windows! So, if I got there when they were boiling greens, it was pretty rugged! But on some days, I was about 20 minutes from the ocean, so I kept a pair of swimming trunks in the car. I'd take a break & go jump in for a bit, then back to work!

A good reason to prospect other than DM leads with a $0 income bottom... :biggrin:
