The wise course IL 10 have IRE

the working day. Then the a;ton-

without causing exhaustion.
BY this means. indeed. work can
be far better done and at TAR less

efficiency exports have verified the
truth Of this. Accordingly frequent
rest periods have been made the
rule In establishments where lnod-

How to Sell Life Insurance
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

l
II l were a life insurance agent I
would talk 10 people in their own Ian
guage, would speak only in terms they
can understand.
have been approached by many q life
insurance solicitor, and most Of them
do not understand the first principle Of
craftsmanship, which is to put yoursok
in your customers place.
They talk about mortality tables md
expectancies, investments, endowmsnt
policies, and thingumbobs, which Do
nothing but confuse the ordinary igpo-
ramus whose money they are after
The result is they awaken suspicion.
which is the natural protective instinct
IN a man against the perils Of what h
does not understand, just as a toad %
cretes an acrid sweat when frightened
just as the bee stings, the rattlesnaAs
buzzes, or the mephitis mephitica distrfb-
utes his defensive perfume upon the cir
cumambient air.
Hence / would be careful not 30 talk
to any victim about anything with which
he is not familiar.
How then could explain 10 him ths
ms and outs of life insurance, it's value
as protection and investment, the superb
ority of my company over the othsrs.
and so on?
| wouldn't explain. None of thsus
things is the reason why he buys life In
surance. Probably he doesn't ealiss
himself what the reason is-
SO would tell him II is this. He
buys, or ought to buy, life insurance b.
cause he wants to make his life, which
is for all mortals an uncertain quantity,
little surer ENSURE OF assure IT,.
Human life is not only our most pre-
carious possession. liable 10 be extin-
guished any minute, but il Is also far and
away the most valuable asset Of our
business. No matter what your business
is, nothing would injure it more than TO
take you out of il.
Hence it is every mans duty TO set
aside some portion of the product of his
living force 10 meet the emergency Of
that force being removed
My customer would understand. He
would grasp the money value Of his own
! life And about that I would talk.
Also the deepest instinct in man Is
the care for his own, for his wife and
children. His life energy is now feeding
and clothing them; he ought to insure
against the hardship that would come TO
them if that energy we're suddenly taken
away
/ would impress on him that IL is hfs.
not death, insurance; that the way to
beat it is to live, not TO die; that TO in
sure his life is TO prolong the advantages
of his life to his dependents after it hss
ceased.
The most interesting thing to any
man is himself, his own life, his own
( family; / would talk about that end of
/ the transaction, and not about my end,
which he cares for little and under
stands less.
probably could not sell as much in
surance as the agent who works away
without any Of this fine theory, but let
me think | could, it will not harm any
one The onlooker at a chess game al
ways thinks he can play better than the
