Stop Selling Insurance!

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Whenever I conduct a workshop or give a talk to a group of agents, I ask how many of them are in the business of selling insurance. Inevitably about 25% raise their hands. My response to them is, “If you re in the business of selling insurance you ll have a hard time succeeding because NO ONE WANTS TO BUY INSURANCE!”

Believe me, if people could get the benefits they wanted in some other way, they would. So,… if you “sell insurance” success will be tough. On the other hand, if you re in the business of helping people it s a different story.

This difference affects pretty much everything a person does along with how they do it. (more...)
