Let me give a new full time (4.5 months into it) FE agent perspective. I've written a few posts about my success but must mention the struggles also. Last week in October I wrote 5700K for the week. That was five weeks ago and November was a complete dud month for me personally. I had barely written 5K since October mainly due to working a new area with limited lead flow and unqualified buyers. Lots of no shows, unserious folks filling out the lead cards "just because", and others thinking it was "free". *Note: I'm on a set 25 a week lead program but only reached that number twice, only 13 and 24 leads came in the last two weeks as an example. Rearden had to "talk me off the ledge" from jumping off a tall building with frustration. Heck he was going to drive two states over to meet me for a ride along just to experience what I've been seeing in the field.
Which brings me to this week. Tuesday I had six appts set... same deal as the last five weeks... 2 no shows, 3 others non qualified buyers, and only 1 presentation... no sales. Nothing for wednesday, but had 3 appts scheduled thursday. Just to show how wacky this business is I sold all three scheduled appointments, not only that, but also sold two door knocks and another "be back" from a previous appointment. Ended up having my best day in the field ever, 6 for 6 with 5300+ AP. I did nothing different today except have qualified buyers who listened and were open to be sold. Had to work them but the many thanks and appreciation from the clients after the sale was great to feel again.
Moral of the story... do not defeat yourself, push through the rough times, and learn by doing. Don't "over think" your situation, give yourself room to fall down but damnitt get back up and start running! Many thanks to Dave Duford for having my back with endless support.
This Guy ^^^^^^^ has the heart of a warrior and the courage of a tiger, he gets it and will succeed.

Now THAT was a cool story.
It is a cool story, I think we can all relate, we all still have those "bad" weeks from time to time.
