I have a lady friend picks up dog poop and makes over a 100k a year.

Sounds kind of sexy. Does she get paid by the pound?

Some people think that picking up their leads, is picking up dog poop.

Others think they just picked up gold pieces.

Do you even get what I mean by quality of life ?

Are you a millennial?

She lives near a wealthy community. All she does is put flyers out in that community and pass out business cards at a yoga studio. She has 150+ clients who pay a monthly fee.

No leads to buy,no sitter a computer all day dialing.No appointment setters. No overhead.NADA.

Would you do that all day?

What's better,sitting in a car day starting at 8am getting home at 6-9pm running 10-15 appointments driving 1000 miles a week eating road garbage ?

Sitting at a monitor chained to a desk at home doing telesales?

Do you really think any of these gigs are sustainable for any length of time ?

Great way to spend your life ?

I take several vacations a year. We just took the kids on a week-long camping trip last month. This month, I'm going on a short 3-day trip. Next month my wife and I are doing 2 weeks in Europe. And in July, we're going on a week-long Alaskan cruise. I am happy with my quality of life.

As far as what you described for field sales, that's not been my experience. I put in 1 (sometimes 2) long field days a week. And I pack my own lunch daily, so I'm not eating garbage.

I agree with your take on telesales. I did it for a year, when I was brand new with a captive company. It sucked. I have actually described it as being chained to a desk.

Are you going on the Alaskan cruise with CICA?

Are you going on the Alaskan cruise with CICA?

Yes. And Europe is also a carrier trip, but we're heading over there a week early to get some extra sight-seeing done

I have only had 3 claims with them that I know of. 1 paid. The other 2 are still being contested.

I've had 5 contestable claims with them. They have paid 4. One is pending. I believe they will pay it.

I had a guy with one of the top FE companies tell me yesterday that the industry average is 40% of contestable claims are paid.

That's the second time an executive at an FE company has given me the 40% number.

I've had two claims with them. One paid, though they tried to discourage the widow from filing a claim. But they did pay. The other has been in process since late Dec. and I doubt it will pay.

That's pretty strong they paid 4 as they got a lot of outs . I mean in reality based on their app they took so many ailments as long as they were having treatment of the ailment.I wondered how they took all those risks and I look at pitiful 1% renewal commission they pay . There basically saving 6-7% a yr over most other carriers by paying renewals almost like a Gi
