I have been around.Haven't had a whole lot of time to play around on message boards.
I thought you got locked up for bass fishing in someone's pond. Did you get out on an early release programs?

The only way to make it in this business is to get out of bed, learn as much as you can about your product, be honest with people, and work every day with the same enthusiasm that you came into this business with. And as emptyeternity said, "treat seniors like your own Grandparents"
Here's the deal. IMO, anyone that has "sales ability" can sell FE but selling FE requires that you have someone to sell TOO. If you are a good salesman and you want to start selling FE today you have to get leads. So you can call a mailing house and give them your money today and "bang zoom" three weeks later they start rolling in. Your in business right? Well, after you run those leads this week, you are out of business for another three weeks until the new leads roll in. Orrrr, you start out the "right way" and order 2k every week for the first three weeks and every week thereafter. So lets see, 2k is roughly $750/week so you are gonna be $2,250.00 in the hole when you get your first lead. After you've worked your first set of leads (let's hope we got a good return) for a week, you are now $3,000.00 in the hole. Okay week four is starting and you haven't gotten one thin dime in commission yet, but your smacking your hands together to get yourself psyched up to run your leads and your now $3,750.00 in the hole and your wife is wondering were your going all day and why the mortgage isn't paid. Week two of selling and your a good salesman so now you've got 7-10 apps written and waiting on commission from those and then you need to order more leads. $4500 in the hole and you get your first commission check. $660 instead of $540 because you were "smart" and got a 110% contract instead of 90%. The most I've been "in the hole" with Hoosierdaddy's group is $400. My second month was last Dec. and that was over $12,000.00AP. BTW the reason that I know the numbers on DIY is because that's what I did last fall. I am known in these here parts as a great salesman, but when you surround yourself with guys that are better than you, it pushes you to to more. The only production requirements I have are set by me. Nobody tells me what to do or when to do it. I'm just sayin.....................
By whom?Glad to see you back SAI! You have been sorely missed.
Does anyone have information on a lead source other than Equita that allows you to go on a pay-per-lead program instead of just sending out 1000-3000/week mailers? I use a pay-per-lead program I have for other health/life but that company does not send out FE. Suggestions?
By whom?
