DEALING with Apartments with Security Buzzers!

Absolutely. Forgive the psychobabble, but the black community has always appreciated a finely dressed person. And religious people of all kinds associate it with clergy. Either that or they figure you for law enforcement and that gets their attention, as well.

I can't even count the number or times I found out that someone initially thought I was the PoPo. When they found out I wasn't, you could almost see a light come on and they would start to open up.

When I was an AFLAC agent working south-central PA, my coordinator made all the guys wear blue business suits when we were out door knocking small businesses.

I would show up unannounced at some shop and as I approached the front counter the owner would stare at me in horror. When I let them know who I was with, their first reaction was to let out a sigh of relief. (A few of them explained that they thought I was with the IRS, ready to conduct an audit. Small businesses in south-central PA love to skim their cash proceeds).

Then they would chew my ass out, since I was the 8th AFLAC agent that week to pay them a visit.

I deal with that AFLAC butt chewing about 1Xmonth! Those people are like ants. They are everywhere!

Ring the people in the office-show them the cards

Tell them "well EVERYONE tells Seniors NOT to answer the phone---so I cant reach them--do you mind if I just go by and drop off the info?"

90% of the time they will say "Well they asked for the info---as long as you are talking JUST to them its OK"

Oh my G-d .. please don't be head of security in any area of life.. :0)

Income filter your leads and move out of the inner city. But if you have that many leads, there are bound to be several in the same complex. Go have a discussion with the manager and sell her on what you do. That's always got me in the door.

Serious Q - how do you move out of the inner city when the market is low income?

You don't think people in rural areas have low income and the need for FE?

Yeah, go see some poor country people! Leave the inner city to the debit guys!
