I'm basically semi-retired off my book of business. I need to write the occasional deal to replace drop-off but that's it. How 'bout you? Looking for your next lead? If you're buying internet leads, don't worry about your book - you won't have one. Then you'll be like the other "experts" here - 15 years in the biz and staring at their inbox.

I am sure your are semi retired.
Its funny I sometimes run into you semi retired guys and there is always the story about how you closed this deal and that deal. Sometimes the stories are legit but they were 20 years ago.
I have a good block of group business along with steady sales with both individual & group. I have only lost 2 group clients in my 10 years and they were both to AOR's. I will be getting one of them back this 4th quarter.
I am always looking for the next lead. I don't care if it comes from my website, cold calls, referrals, or anywhere else.
Oh sure I could sit back and coast on my current block but forget that.
The only people that coast on there current block is the semi retired guys.
Do you even remeber what its like to be hungry for new business?
Let me add one more thing I have taken at least a dozen group accounts from agents like you.
I don't understand the statement or question. There is no punctuation so it makes no sense. Did you want to write, "Gee Rick. Did you get the point?" If so, then I could understand it.
My point is that if you want to say you are a professional, write like one. If you sound like an idiot, what do you think people will assume?
As far as semi-retired, I too work as little as possible. I earn in the 6 figures and perhaps put in 10-15 hours a week. Sorry, during MA "season" I do work much harder.
Learn to express yourself and people will think much more of you.
Oops, sorry I think my ADD and took me down a notch. I can't afford that but I promise it was funny before.
Y'all, I mean all of you gentlemen are a hoot!
Can I (I mean may I ) hear (I mean read) some more about
How to make those telephone calls from home
Profitably? I am broke right now waiting on an FMO to hand me "50 or 100" leads I can work as soon as I get them.
He does have them right? He will get them to me like he promised right?
Of course he will. So please as I mentioned ... fill me in on the preparation I need for dialing leads I am going to call tomorrow. I have to set appointments for SNP then, and I really want to prepare now, to do it right. If you don't mind.
If you do mind , then just keep on going, because it is extremely entertaining and enlightening either way.
I am curious, why do ya"ll get dragged down in these confrontations, seems to be a total waste of time. I would rather watch a good hunting show with some great kill shots.
Does anyone really care how much business someone else does? One can say they do such and such and it is just talk, who cares?

I agree with you about respondees going off on tangents when we are trying to get info to an issue or question. Especially the friendly, non-insurance banter. It would be more professional and helpful if agents stuck to offering advice.
But, I disagree with you about how much business someone writes. I realize they are all sales people (meaning you cut their claims to 1/4 ), but, if they are good at what they do, they can give tips to help us improve. And, isn't that why we're reading these posts in the first place.
