Terminated from Foresters for Persistency

Terminated for persistency

from Foresters in 2012

I imagine it's because I stopped writing all together after going into another line of work and my Planright persistency wasn't good at that time. I just got re-licensed after 3 years of not writing. Anybody ever been re-appointed with a carrier after this?

Yep, but be careful with Foresters. After you switch IMO's the 3rd time, you'll never be able to move again!

Why? Who cares? There's 9,378 other FE carriers besides Foresters...

They will take you back if you submit new business along with the contract in most cases. After you get reappointed then you can get the telesales approval.

Actually it is not as rosy as you think..... 226 of that number dropped FE altogether.

That's why no one sells FE over the phone...

That is not why "no one" sells fe over the phone. The reason why the "perception" is that no one sells over the phone is because it's a different dynamic than field sales and no one's been able to crack the code on successfully implementing telesales in a non-call center environment. Don't worry though, it's coming.

I foresee much angst and gnashing of teeth in the future for JDEasy and the good ole' boy field sales network because of it.

I agree its coming but its going to be a long ways out before its a mainstream thing. Telesales is hard period. The selling process isn't easy and the lead situation is even more challenging.

Ive done telesales for years with various degrees of success and I can tell you for certain it can be done. However in my opinion, it will be at least 10 years before the shift starts to really become noticeable.

I predict differently. And I'll still be here when the chips fall. Doubtful you will.
