I live in Boston and work all over eastern MA. I don’t care what anyone says it’s getting increasingly more difficult to get people to answer the phone and book appointments. It’s got so difficult for me to book appointments over the phone that I depend mostly on doorknocking and the Calendly appointments at this point. The doorknocking is really starting to burn me out and I’m working way too hard for the number of appointments/ applications I'm getting. The calendly appointments have been huge for me lately.
I know some of you are going to read this and be like well maybe you just suck at your job. I don’t, and I’m not a new agent. I can feel that it’s just harder, seniors are so skeptical and guarded especially in my neck of the woods. This is not new I just feel like seniors are taught to trust no one these days. Anyone else feels this way? I’m thinking that I need to start working in western mass in more laid back rural towns. I have a couple of agents in Maine and they still live in the days where they can get a stack of DM leads and book their whole week up in a couple of hours on the phone. Those days are long gone in my area. Sad but true. I need to get a badass appointment setter or work in a rural area. For me, that’s a 2-hour drive. Any other ideas?
