I'm 53, got my license in december of 2023, joined a mlm with a pletora of carriers, borchures, badges and a ton of apps. As of the 20th of January 2024, I've watched 100s of youtube videos of Pat Ben David, Andy Elliott, Cody Askins and the like and have yet to make a dime in this Industry. This one video has helped me beyond belief on what to think about and what to put forward as far as what's important. Thank you so much for making this video. I feel like I've wasted the last 45 days feeling utterly frustrated and worthless. Please continue to make videos for us beginners, because it seems a lot of these MLMs just wanna take your money, make you captive through contract and not lift a finger to help.
I feel your pain. I'm on my second go around. I learned a lot from aligning myself with an MLM. That's not a business. This video has given me a lot of insight on how to approach this business this time
Those aren't MLMs. Most of those people make money from you using affiliate marketing. Their primary business is not insurance. You need a good FMO. That is still not an MLM. An MLM makes money from YOU buying the product from them, then reselling it. They don't care if you resell it, just that you buy it from them. You don't buy insurance from your FMO to sell it. You just work under an FMO who has the contracts. You have to figure out how to write business.
Love this. Today was my first day. I realized what he said about finding the category with the products that match. 1) category , final expense , carrier, policy. This based on income. The basic ingredients of a salad and finding the dressing that pulls it together.
i am new in health insurance and life just got a job in a company and you all are helping me calm the anxiety and understand this so much. thank you so much. Blessings.
I’m past 30 days now, this is extremely refreshing and every ounce of it is Gold. Thank you, to the both of you, for taking the time and effort to educate and inspire us noobies all across the globe. Much love 💪🏻
Hello, I live in Turkey. I am a sales consultant for one of Turkey's largest insurance companies. I came across you while preparing a presentation for my managers. It is difficult to find resources in this field in Turkey. But thanks to you, I learned very valuable information for my presentation and my team. I am considering evaluating your page in my presentation by citing it as a source. Thank you very much for sharing really amazing information!!
Thank you for this video. I am 52, had multiple successful carriers in several industries and now without any source of income, I have 2 daughters 11 and 7 and for the last 30 days since I started in insurance, I am going back and forth doing meetings, planting seeds and no application yet. The key subjects of your video that hit me directly are: 1- The pity meeting 2- The “solution” instead of the “quotation” 3- “If he can do it, so I can”
Loved this! I was especially reassured when he said to choose a niche! I do IUL's specifically for kids as a MUCH better alternative to a 529 and customers LOVE it! I wouldn't offer something i would't get for my future kid so on top of the great income it brings me joy to know i'm providing families with a big financial push for their children! My coach once said "Your income is directly proportionate to the amount of value you bring to society" and I can proudly say I bring HUGE value!
It’s not better at all ! Are you that stupid at math ?? I can get twice the return on my money using 529 or mutual funds you have to be a total idiot at math
@@ximenaandino5848 he would not make as much money! See that’s why he pushes this dumb scam ! The extra money you pay in the first year is what he gets paid on ! He can mane half a million a year with this scam ! Look at the ones pushing velocity banking scam ! Sim of them are making $100,000 a month
I've been on a hamster wheel... wondering did I make a mistake by getting these license. Thank u for such a motivational video.... INSURANCE IS NOT FOR THE WEAK❗❗❗✊I feel encouraged
I was actually discharged from that job on Friday April 19th due to not meeting the 20% close rate despite doing EVERYTHING that I know of to be able to get there..
Glad I found this video. I just switched from supply chain management to supply chain sales but really wanting to switch into life insurance or any insurance. I hope to learn alot.
You have to learn how to lie and tell people that insurance is an investment when in fact it’s not a good investment at all you always lose money by buying this crap
Geez I wish I found you guys back in July. Selling insurance but I have yet to break 1500 a month. Will definitely watch you guys. Thanks for a great podcast!
Looking forward to the lead portal guys...still in my first few months as a part time agent with a captive company and lead generation is definitely my biggest hurdle so far. I agree with Rogers statement on warm market struggles and pity sits from family and friends...lol.
Amazing pod. I'm a sales agent for Palig in trinidad. I've only joined the company about 12 days now and my biggest challenge so far is leads and how to market myself as an agent. Currently, I am just posting on my socials with little to no interactions and I'm cold calling businesses to offer my services with not much luck. It is difficult and I'm hoping to find ways to build an audience plus expand my network to people that I can do business with as I'm only randomly calling right now.
Do not randomly call . First , know what product you sell, second know who it is for , third know where to find such individuals your product is for and fourth develop an approach at meeting such individuals whether online or face to face and pointing out the most important usefulness of your product which the prospect values the most , fifth invite them to make payment for your product , sixth if they don't make payment for your product find out the real reason why , seventh if they make payment for your product , get to know why they made payment and then look for more and more prospects like the ones who made payment , finally those that didn't make payment , get to learn from the mistakes you made , a mistake could be they lack the purchasing power so you learn not to waste time with those who lack the means to purchase your product. As You Do The Sales Work More Often, You Get To Learn And Discover Some Sales Experience And Insights Which You Won't Have If You Didn't Do The Sales Work.
@@ChrisNkemnacho Do you know what's crazy. I'm now the highest producing agent in my agency for the first quarter this year. God is so good, I'm so happy I stuck with it.

I earned my life insurance license on January 3rd, 2024 and my first three days of making agent calls have SUCKED!! I have at least 6 rebuttals that I need to use, but I can't seem to memorize them, nor how to effectively bounce between the various applications and other programs.
I am an agent working in Kenya and the biggest challenge is leads. I don't know how I will go about that coz we don't buy leads here and insurance penetration is really low.
Hi, Githinji am a Kenyan agent in US, just started, our people here are very hard to sell to at the moment but that is due to lack of the knowledge understanding.
I just got started selling insurance and was told to buy leads, then just dial, dial, and dial because " I'll learn as I go". Granted, the leads I start with are cheap, but it's incredibly disheartening to not know what im talking about and waste my and the customer's time because i sound ignorant only to get hung up on, told no, etc. I need a tribe! I won't give up because I know the pot of gold is our there.
3 weeks in the business here. I am selling IULs, how am I suppose to sell if people don’t pickup the phones??? In the meantime should I continue to gamble buying leads? All comments are much appreciated. I get leads across all 50 states, no door knocking here.
You have to learn all of it in order to pass the exam and you have to be licenced. Im trying to learn all of it in 3 months and i am kind of freaking out. Im studying life and health through an online program thats 3 months long.
Life insurance is the one thing EVERYONE will use. Everyone dies. Setting the ones you love up to not have to scramble to make and pay for arrangements for you and have something left over, is something everyone should want for their loved ones.
@user-pf6mw3su2h You make it sound like life insurance is the only option available to leave $$ for your heirs. It is not, and I think you know that. In my own case, because I did not waste money on whole life insurance when I needed life insurance (Ibought term), I had money to make investments. I now have a net worth that greatly exceeds any death benefit I would have if I held a whole life policy till the end, and I don't need life insurance any longer. Also, 80% of whole life policy holders surrender their policies early. Where does that leave their heirs then?
About 80% of whole life policy holders end up surrendering their policies early. That should tell you something about whole life. A term policy can be ended at any time with no severe consequence other than the loss of coverage. Surrendering a whole life policy can result in a huge financial loss. But who cares right? The salesperson got their commission up front!
This guy is believe actually has alot of success in insurance. Theirs people on UA-cam talking insurance that are so far up their own arse i dont believe their any good. Very good interview 👍
These are the new leads. These are the GlenGarry leads. And to you, they’re gold, and you don’t get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They’re for closers.
@@jasonstone7584 why would I regret not having life insurance? I have not had debt in 20 years! I own three houses with no debt! Several vehicles! My mutual funds total $1,600,000.00 ! And I have other assets! All my children are adults with children! All grandchildren are living comfortably! So what do I need life insurance for ??
@@jasonstone7584 I’m still waiting on you to tell me just how I’m going to regret not having life insurance! I’ll sit here and watch you lose your money in whole life while I bask in the money my mutual funds have made while you was feeding an endless pit of trash !

not to be to blunt, but if you arent getting the training and support you need, maybe you should consider moving to a better company.

What company pays the highest commission?
Americo pays 80% if the client is above the age of 60
Senior life company pays 90% commission for new agents.
Wouldn't it be nice to sell a good product that people actually wanted to buy?

80 20 rule always applies. 80% of term ins owners wish they would have bought permanent coverage.
