At the client's urging, the agent called me to talk about the Career. What she said about the Companies appealed to me more than what the other companies had to offer. I'm glad I made the choice, especially after earning Freshman Agent of the Year in my office. I can set my own schedule to work around my other activities. If you are single or your children are grown, you may want to work part-time to allow time to travel or relax.
Some agents have so much success, they only work a few months a year.
Even though I had no direct experience in sales, I had faith in my ability to succeed. I have good, repetitive habits, make calls and talk to people. I believe that by being forthright and honest with people, I will do well in this business. A couple recently wrote me a letter on how professional I was with them regarding their disability insurance. It makes me feel good when people trust me like that.
