Work from Home?

[STIBROKER]

Last public office I had to go to work at was Jefferson Pilot ...1996

Yes. I do this myself. I have an office presence locally that my assistant goes to daily to get emails, voice mails and mail. But I myself, do the selling from home.

This makes ZERO sense...

do you not answer phones? You have to go to a location to get emails and VM's?

How in the hell do you run a business like that?

I have a mailing address I go to once or twice a week.

Yea I have a mailing address that I go to a couple times a week but all my phone lines come to me. ha

Why would I won't an outside office? The less overhead the better.

Did away with my office back in the early 90s when I quit recruiting. I now use a P.O. Box as my mailing address and list my cell phone on my cards.

I work from home but have an office I can go to with a partnering agency. I do joint work with them all the time and they have a spare room where I can meet people at if they want to see an office.

How often does that happen?

This is very much possible.

How often does that happen?

Very rarely. Like 2 times in the last few months, if that. It is more for commercial prospects that want to meet me rather than personal lines, they don't care one way or the other.

I am a bit opposite the norm it sounds. We closed our outside office about ten years ago. I have been looking at picking up a small office to get out of the house during the week.

With cloud based CRMs, mobile phones and Laptops, we can work from any where. My wife answers the business line and does all my admin. If I could figure out how to have my business line answered in the home office and transfered to my cell that would be great.
