I'm 22, just got into FE insurance. 3 years sober and very motivated to retire early.
The issue is, i'm not sure where to start. I work with a certain company and i'm curious on whether the commission structure, leads given, and training is industry standard.
These leads are all mostly 70-85 years old
I get around 5, one year old leads every week, (they call them fresh leads)
Is all this standard for anyone starting out in LI?
Another question is: Is door knocking a much better use of my time than calling? What class of neighborhood should I knock in? I'm working on a flyer, what should I put on that flyer? How should I market myself at community events?
I won't give up sales, a lifelong role model of mine has provided so much for his family by being successful in sales and never giving up. I will emulate that, but for now, does anyone have a guide or advice on what to do moving forward?

My company's commission structure:
I get paid the first year's premiums.Leads given:
Recycled leads from around 3-4 years ago that have been called 2-6 times already.These leads are all mostly 70-85 years old
I get around 5, one year old leads every week, (they call them fresh leads)
Training:
My boss is 71, is very comfortable in his knowledge about how the company works, but is extremely hard to learn from. Cussing and 20 minute explanations about very simple concepts like not double booking or booking appts that are 4 hours away. The training sucks. He's a very good guy but I know it would take me years to fully understand the company structure and products if I stuck with him.Is all this standard for anyone starting out in LI?
