Attention New Agents: Write a Business Plan

[rousemark]

I think Mah has "left the building". She hasn't posted since June 1st. She's likely moved on to greener pastures....or any pasture that better suits her.

Mah has been banned for whatever reason the case may be.

Mah was actually Ricks son...

While I don't exactly believe that, I am still not convinced Mah was real.

As a newbie to commercial insurance with only 1 year of experience and knowledge under my belt, I KNEW there was more to this business than throwing crap against the wall and seeing what stuck. I had a hunch others were in fact assembling business and marketing plans and that was something I needed to do rather than just taking the leads given to me at work and "cold calling" them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

If anyone has a plan they've done for themselves, as an individual producer, that they wouldn't mind sharing with me I would GREATLY appreciate it!

I am one of those who jumped into this business knowing nothing about insurance and with totally no kind of plan except to do what was necessary to make it happen. I blindly bought into the “we will train you and provide you with leads”. What more could I ask for?

My training consisted of being handed a Medicare Guide Book and my leads were a voter registration list for the county. It had dates of birth on it. I spent one day riding with an “experienced agent”. I saw him make two sales using what I felt were less than ethical techniques. That was enough of riding with him.
