Hi folks,
I signed up here way back in 08 when I started with Aflac. Reasoning I went that route was my recent move to NC and no contact (200) list. I did a lot of business door knocking and did pretty well but it was a short time period. We moved back to calif in 09 and did loan modifications.
In 2013 a good friend of mine was ripping the cover off the ball doing FE and took me on a few ride alongside so I came aboard. It was with Lincoln Heritage and we never set appointments, just took the leads and cold knocked and got in. We went to Vegas for a week and wrote quite a few folks but within a week or two about 3/4 fell out. A month later I got sick and was diagnosed with dermatomyosites and have been sidelined until now.
I actually like helping seniors that are financial challenged but the chargebacks and trying to outrun the crap i feel would burn me out eventually.
I was thinking LTC as I took care of my mom for 5 years as she had dementia and didn't plan for that. So the question is what do I want to target? Maybe it's better saying what I don't want to do and that is, Med supplements, health. Everything else I'm open to. I don't have a list of people and I'm not afraid of cold calling, starting fresh. Selling your friends and family isn't going to make you successful.
I'm on SS disabilty and even when I start earning I have the 9 month trial period where I still get my SS money. This will help me get going without the financial stress.
I'm not looking for someone to hold my hand, just guidance and a plan to succeed, I can apply the actions.
I know sooner or later I'll want to be independent but in the beginning a captive may be better? I've also thought about the PC route which prior was never a consideration. Maybe because I feel it's more stable if that's even possible in sales lol
My prior experience was 20 years in the auto business from service to sales. Starting at the bottom and leaving as a gsm
I've rambled enough
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
