They don't pay 50-plus percent commission because it's easy!!! LOL.

Right. The companies don’t pay us 120% because it’s easy.

They would pay college students $10/hr to go around and pick up the applications if it were easy.

Then you have the ones that can actually sell but can’t run their own business.

They can’t work for themselves. Tomorrow I will be out in the field. Without anyone telling me to be there.

It has always been interesting to me that people in insurance
sales always say they are going to be in the field.
Like we are driving a tractor, or pickin cotton.

I have heard that term for years.
Nothing wrong with it, just curious how it came about..

When I entered this business, the only leads given were D&B

Fresh out of college I got to work as a cold caller on Wall Street, series 7 and all that goes with it.

When I was shown to my desk, it had two things on top: A telephone, and the corporate Yellow Book.

And look at you now. Yacking back and forth with us on a Sunday afternoon. We made the big time baby.

Nothing to do but post funnies to the FE MEME thread and light $100 bills on fire. Though since I don't smoke, I'm starting to wonder what's the point of lighting all these bills on fire?

No. It’s still my appointment day. But I also deliver policies on Monday for people not in the area I’m going to be working. And referrals the same.

I’m seeing a referral tomorrow that’s nowhere close to where I’ll be the rest of the week.

I don’t know either. When I got into this business it was referred to as field days and office days.
