Just as soon as I posted my answers there'd be a dozen brokers up here criticizing me...lol.
Wait...aren't you the one who suggested agents share their greetings?

You suggested it so I would think you would lead the way..I did suggest that
You're right I did suggest that. So far no one else has shared anything but me, and I haven't shared that much yet.

My phone rang this morning.
Caller: "Hi this is James from Example Insurance and I'm calling today to discuss life insurance. Can I ask you how old you are?"
What an awful cold calling opening line:
If you called 1,000 people and said you wanted to "discuss life insurance" with them, how many would be interested? Doesn't every single marketing book say that you want to spark some interest, highlight a need, or otherwise turn on the caller? The idea of "discussing life insurance" on the phone with sounds insanely boring. Always be closing? James just wants to banter.
- Mentions insurance twice (once in the company name, which was something-something-insurance). Insurance isn't a dirty word but hardly something that makes people immediately want to talk to you.
- Says he wants to "discuss" with me, which sounds like a long conversation.
- Asks me how old I am, which isn't much of a rapport-builder. Call a bunch of middle-aged women and ask them how old they are as an opener and see how you do.
Anyway, the call continued:
Me: "Well James, I'm a life insurance agent myself. How's the grind going tod--"
<click>
Well, OK. I guess you could look at that the ultimate efficiency - no sale possible, move on to the next call with maximum speed - but I would have at least thank you before hanging up. I mean, he could have at least pitched me to join his downline!
You’re right, I haven’t really been on the forums much today. I’m mainly F2F in the field, and still run a sizable debit agency. Got in kind of late tonight.Shonceman said he does quite a bit of tele-sales yet he must have not been up here either this afternoon as he's not shared his techniques.
