Glad your here. Proceed with caution, most folks here aren't licensed agents they just pretend.

Great post!!Welcome
Organize files, design cards and sharpen pencils on your own time. Business hours are for selling.
Aggressively getting ready is expensive.
The color of your shirt, type of pen or an expensive case mean nothing to your prospects and less to your clients.
Embrace the new technology but don't discount the old tried and true.
Yes, old agents do sound grouchy. You will too.
Know that you will hit a slump and it will suck. Bad. Figure out your way to get out of it. Some of us power through, some of us step away for a family vacation, some of us choose a weekend of drunken debauchery. Slumps happen.
Notes - keep client notes so they are clients over customers. Beneficiary relationships, DOB, Jobs, kids, cell and emails. The clients are making them beneficiary for a reason. Notes on the client, they love golf, they are crazy for Chubby their Bassett Hound, religious, Veterans, and so on. Why? Because when you speak with them the next time (and if you don't someone like me will) you sound like someone that knows them not just what's his name the insurance salesman. All of those notes may add 5 minutes to your conversation and the questions are sprinkled into your presentation and fact gathering.
Everything that agents do today, some agents said couldn't be done yesterday.
A.L Williams - 'Just do it'. (Great speech)
Lastly, use the search function here. There is some great stuff in there. I wish this was around when I started.
