Peter Walker was a new agent at the time - March 4, 2016 and gave a really good interview about FE from a newbie's position. Basically, the sky's the limit. And even with his background in business, FE Sales is as much of a 'write your own check' opportunity that there is. He's with 360/Spur/ in TX.
Only 6 weeks in and he was talking with the Lead Jerk(Matt) and talking 200K - on their way to doing it.. Was quite a rah rah moment.. I wonder if they made the goal.. - I guess I'll never know.
An interesting part of the interview was the age old question for a new prospect looking into FE: How much do you need to get a good start/footing in FE..??
TLJ said, 5K's good but you can probably get away with 3K.. Then Peter chimed in and said, "I disagree with you.. I think 10K is a good starting point!" He went on to justify the cost vs his other restaurant businesses that have a 20K mo debt just to keep the doors open. 10K is nothing to invest and you'll get all your money back ten/hundred fold.
Then Matt went on to say how 'sad' it is to talk with new recruits day after day who don't even have 5K or 3K saved up as they're looking into FE. His tone was as if he was looking down his nose at broke people wanting to get into FE without a savings. Pompous.
Peter made another remark - says, "Hey, I've been there.. if someone has 1k or even only $500 - Matt, that's what your telemarketing leads are for!" It'll take longer but if you're hungry you can make it happen-may take a little longer but definitely doable.
Within one conversation I heard, you need 3-5 K to start, 10K is best.. -- But.. $500-1K can get the ball rolling!
Good listen -- I wonder if they hit their 200K goal..
