I am in a dilemma that I'm hoping someone here has some experience and advice for me.
My license is being reviewed right now by DOI. I had a misdemeanor a long time ago and I know that it takes about 45 days for them to give me an answer. I'm confident I will be able to eventually get the license once I go through all the procedures. It's been 10 days so far.
In the meantime, I've been working with an insurance company and they have been training me although I can't do anything other than cold calling and have an agent go to the appointment. I'm having a hard time making cold calls since I'm disappointed about my license and knowing that I won't make the comission until I get my license.
I have some modules from the company that I'm supposed to complete prior to becoming an agent also.
I guess I'm not certain if I should focus on learning the products and taking the modules, or cold call. If you are thinking to do both, I tried it and didn't do either one well. I don't seem to have the confidence to sell with the amount of product knowledge that I have.
What should I focus on now?
