Ok so here's my spill. I just got hired onto State Farm in October. My agent sent me through the licensing class real quick and now I have my Life license. He was quite behind on his life insurance quota (he had 12, needed 40) and I jump in about halfway through October. Note: I have never been in a sales position before. Bartending is the closest I've been to that. Im 25.
He says "go through my book, call everyone, and sell them life insurance." I says "Yes sir." So I call about 60 people a day. I raked up about 15 appointments a week in November which I failed miserably at because I didnt have the slightest clue what I was doing. By December I had sold about 6 policies.
Long story short I got friends to cover me for 6 more and I ended up with 12 policies. We got our quota. My question is I CANT STAND THAT PHONE ANYMORE. What can I do to make it where these people want to come see me and not just say "forget it bud, we don't want to talk to you." Everyone loves my agent but doesn't want to talk to me that much.
Sorry for the long wind. I'm pretty exasperated.

P.S. Have heard alot about using E-mail, Twitter, RSS Feeds, and Facebook to make leads, anyone have any luck with that?
btw I LOVE Insurance and being there for people.
