Even if you dedicate 3 days in the field, you need the other days to do follow up calls on applications to all the insurance companies, setting apts and being on the phone, getting calls from clients that you need to take care of. If your in class and your phone rings or you don't have access to there file, how is that going to work from a client prospective?
I am sorry, but a professional insurance agent needs to be full time in my book.
All imho of course
Well I have access to my home computer from my phone and ipad. I saved everything between dropbox and sugarsynch so that I am connected with all my devices wherever Im at. Being in class would be no different than you being at another appointment. Your not going to stop in the middle of an hour long appointment to return a phone call.
So I think it still looks possible to buy 15-20 leads per week, work 9-9 in the field 2 days a week and set appts and run other admin stuff the other 4 days a week. And still give me time to work around the few classes I will have come this time next year.
Personally, it seems like every sales job I've had has given me the experience I need to succeed at selling FE. Im good on the phone, Im a good door knocker (if necessary), Im a good closer at the kitchen table, I work hard, and a majority of the people I run into can sense that I am trustworthy. I have been sucessful at whatever I have applied myself at, and I can see no reason that would be any different with selling FE.
I appreciate all the comments guys. Now, what should I do to get prepared for starting to sell this come next June? I think I will go with EFES, but that's not set in stone yet. I would like to find a local guy that can train me come spring time.
