Going through a rough patch

[moonlightandmargaritas]

Are you referring to Petrowski's IAHIA or something else?

That shot I would have taken since I've butted heads quite often, but John's IHIAA? Come on, seriously, it's not okay for anyone to do what goes on here and if you've noticed John (and I) have been a proponent of keeping it real for new bees!

How can you choose sides? We all cross lines, many get offended, many are out of line at times.

Just curious if anyone else is having a rough time out there right now? June was awesome...July sucked...and August doesnt have much promise thus far.

Pipeline is near empty (unless you count all the BS leads I bought last month)....Cant seem to get in contact with many of my prospects and the most promising ones keep dragging thier feet.

Alright, I feel your frustration. Lemme take a crack at some of this.

Why are you so fixed on each month being your unit of measure?

Were you doing anything in June that you're not doing now?
(make sure you get introspective - and honest with yourself).

What do you mean by BS leads? Who are you buying them from?

"Foot dragging" and "stalls" are generally due to to incomplete/improper qualification on the front end...

Will await your reply.

Rob I respect everyone's opinion and everyone has a right to state how they feel. If someone doesn't like what I'm doing and they want to vent, then vent away.

Well, he damn sure aint referring to me... I sit on here and attempt to gather knowledge of things that have happened in the market place... things like what is Humana doing what did Cigna do to a client last nigh... crap like that.... it dosen't matter one stinkin' bit what i know or don't know... If I think I can offer some type of wisdom about my past experiences than I will post it..FREE if i feel compelled to offer up how I sell a case... then I will, FREE... if u like what I say... use it, I hope it works....

In regards to what my 16 years of experience in only health insurance gives me.... only a few things that I feel are of value... 1) I have been lucky enough to build a large client base that pays me a check every month....YIPPEE!! 2) I have pert near tried every way to acheive my goals from writing with advancing MGA'S to dealing with companies direct... thaat affordes me the experience to shed light on the pitfalls agents face when dealing with problems. 3) I'm blunt as hell and I pull NO punches... I call a spade a spade, and if you don't like it the go pee pee up a rope... if I say something that offends yiou, then chances are my post are about you. See, I just dont give a rats arse if you like me or not.... I know who I am, what I am and where i am at in my insurance practice. t's called being compleatly confident and secure in my own skin....Am i a nut... oh yea, u bet... I never take anything or anyone to serious. Life is a game and i'm holding pocket aces, and the flop just came ace, ace, king... I'm all in!!

Peace

I agree, so I'll vent. I'm getting my E & O through the association, saved me the price of admission.

Should I have phrased that more angrily?

Careful Charlie...haven't you ever seen a straight flush made on top of those quads? Talk about a bad beat...
