I was crippled for a few years but was determined to walk and get my life back. I busted my ass, rebuilt my body and moved to Oklahoma from NY where it's cheap and I'm studying for my test now. I appreciate all the information. I'm extremely motivated and I believe this field will reward my hard work and allow me to get back on my feet financially in a short amount of time. Thank you very much for the information.
This really motivated me because many people dont know much about insurance or how much you can actually make selling insurance and they will discourage you because their lack of knowledge
I’m completely new to Insurance. I’ve worked factory for 8 years I’m done. My health has declined and I knew I wanted a change. My best friend works insurance she still can’t get licensed but she got me a spot in her agency. I start Monday and I’m nervous as hell! The agent interviews many candidates even more qualified than me. He said I’m the one. Not sure what he saw in me but he’s been doing this for 42 years. Right off the bat he said exactly what you’re saying Cody. “Prospects and getting in front of people “ I’m a very social person and I posses charisma. I’m a hard worker and very ambitious and unsatisfied I want more. I think he sensed that enthusiasm in me. Thank you for this video and introducing insurance to us. Hearing you were once completely new and still having very ambitious goals your first year really motivates me to go in with my head right. I’m 32 but I feel like a 18 year old headed to their first real job.
@@kingakil777 Kaplans course, about 2 hrs reading/notes each day and another 1-2hrs taking the practice quizzes for 10 days. The test was very similar to those practice questions. Also study to pass the test and not to know every micro detail. You should receive a breakdown of the test structure, make sure you understand which sections have the most asked questions. Don’t stress king you will be fine 🤝🏾
Best video on this topic my guy. I have an interview today with an All-State family owned company. I'd be a Licensed Sales producer and one of the things they ask is are you motivated to bring in 6 figure income. It would be a remote position so I don't know if that's more difficult than the traditional walk in offices.

So say they agree to a monthly premium. Do you get half of that monthly payment at 50%? Compared to them paying in full? How many people actually pay in full?
It depends on the comp level your at depending on if your captive or independent.. life ins can pay you in advance, so they pay you 9 months of prem , some is as earned as well which means your going to get paid every month as long as client pays that month.
I was a "captive" Farmers agent for 8 years. I personally didn't like it but the one good thing was was the subsidy they paid me for the first 2 years which helped me get started. I sold my Farmers BOB and am now a truly independent Medicare, Health & Life insurance agent and I love it! It is way better than being a captive agent for sure and the commissions on life insurance is around 95 to 100 percent rather than the 40 percent Farmers paid me.
"the whole trick to this is".....number of work hours / week. you're talking 80 hours per week. average people want to work 40 hours per week, and they earn 50K. want 100k? sure work 80 hours/week.
@@CodyAskins I really appreciate your videos! I just started a couple weeks ago as an agent at all state but I’m still in the process of getting my property and casualty license. I’ve never done this kind of work before so I’m definitely Open to as much as I can get!

I have a question about WFG. Is this a good captive agency? All I hear in the morning meeting is recruit even without any clue about what am doing. I just passed my exam so I need to know what am getting into. Anyone been with WFG/WSB before? What’s your experience? Pls help a sister.
I am about to get into insurance, but I have doubts now, why, I think one of the person has taken a policy out without my permission, trying to see How can I verify it, he said ge wouldn't do it, yet I overheard him saying that he has 3 policies he's paying on and the person's do not know.I don't know if he was joking or not, BUT, You ever get the feeling that something is not right with someone? My guts turning everytime I see dude, How do I find out if he falsely took a policy out on me and my child without permission
Any recommendations of company's from rhode island? I just won my test and was hired by Fisher but just found out it's AIL and I'm not sure and worried!
It can be yes. I know many agents making good money selling remotely. My company produces some of the best leads in the country, give us a call at 833-402-4368 and we can talk more about how it works!
Yeah definitely.. Patrick Bet David is actually speaking at my conference 8% Nation later this summer. Would love for you to be there! www.8PercentNation.com or call 833-402-4368 and we can give you a good deal on tickets 🙏
Also, I just released an insane offer for new agents if you're interested in fast-tracking your success in this industry. I'm giving away my 7 best training courses (retail value is $3,300) for only $99.. this is a limited-time offer so let me know if you'd like to learn more or take advantage of it today... Here's the page where you can learn more about it: bit.ly/3ac6yGF
I train more on the life insurance side but many of the trainings I do can easily be applied to both.. we also have some P&C specific content as well. Thanks for watching!
@@DagnirRen FB Leads are simply leads that are generated with Facebook Advertisements... I have several programs for new agents to learn and grow in the industry. Let me know if you're interested in any of them!
Cody Askins I’m interested! I’m in Missouri and looking for as much training and help as I can get. Getting licenced next month and have a job lined up with agency.
How are you doing? My suggestion is choose a target market you'd like to work with. If you're trying to help everyone you won't get many leads. Narrow it down to a couple groups of people who you want to help.
You can always get leads to the closest city to you. Sometimes you may have to drive an hour or two to make this happen but if you know the numbers you need to hit, it can be financially worth while.. Also, you could look into telesales and selling policies completely over the phone. Let me know if you need any additional help or tips!
Making this much money through merely selling insurance shouldn't even be a thing, 50000 sounds like what they deserve, they don't deserve as much money as MDs
Doing my pre-licensing now, I appreciate how you broke this down! I will be a successful Life Insurance Agent, I refuse to be that 92%!
You got this!
