Dear ~Contact.FirstName~,

Is the problem not enough prospects or is the real problem setting the appointment?

In the insurance business you LIVE and DIE by appointments. If you don't have appointments you can't make sales. With no sales, you're out of the business.

Appointment setting can be tough, especially the ways most IMO's, FMO's and other "SO-Called" Sales Trainers teach it! The "one-size-fits-all" approach, with canned scripts, that in the end just offers a product or a hot new sales idea... don't work... because very few people are looking for products or an idea that is going to require them to spend more money.

However, there are tons of people who would like real help to improve their financial situation and life. Remember no two prospects are the same; each situation is unique and different. So, you need a different and flexible approach!

There are no magic scripts or phrases that will guarantee you set an appointment, but there is a 'PROVEN' questioning technique, that anyone can learn, to set appointments with 9 out of 10 people you talk to! This technique can be used face to face, over the phone, or just with random people you meet!

Are you ready to learn a proven technique that can help
 you solve your largest problem... Setting Appointments?

In the next 30 days you can have more appointments than you can handle...
wouldn't that be a shame?

If you want that to happen, then join us at 1PM EST, Thursday, December 8, 2016 for a special 2 hour Web Class...

"Setting Appointments The Easy Way"

This class will share..

- Why "problems" are the key to setting appointments.
- Why canned scripts don't work.
- How using Questions, can make the prospect want to meet with you.
- How to make the appointment stick. No more no shows or cancelations!

At the end of the call you will receive a full recording of the event and our 28 page guide "Setting Appointments The Easy Way!"

Help Middle Income Families…
And Watch Your Life Insurance Commissions Soar!

During the past there decades, many of the major companies have been moving to the more affluent markets. They appear to have forgotten whom they served and what made them the company they are today. According to LIMRA this leaves the Middle Income marketplace wide open. And, in our opinion provides an exceptional opportunity for the financial advisors who learn how to help Middle Income families to 'find the money' to spend, save, invest, insure and plan wisely for the future, to "Live Debt Free and Truly Wealthy!"

Understanding The Problem
We believe that most Middle Income families have been at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to managing money and accumulating wealth. Most of the financial information being passed on by the major publications and 'self proclaimed' financial experts is really geared towards people who are already wealthy. These are the people who have their basic necessities covered. They have already built a strong ‘safe money’ financial foundation, so they can afford to take risks with much of their other money.

Consider, wealthy people live in a different world. They are not concerned about qualifying for college financial aid, so their children can afford to go to college. They are not concerned about eliminating debt to improve their cash flow, so they can afford health insurance or put braces on Mary's teeth. They don't have to worry about whether there will be food on the table or a roof over their family’s head, if something happens to them.

Solving The Problem
You can help Middle Income families by providing them with the little known, unconventional strategies that the wealthy have used for decades to accumulate and hold onto their money. The wealthy were able to accumulate wealth and build a strong financial foundation not by taking risks, but by taking a portion of everything they earned and putting it to work for them. They understand that the road to wealth starts when you truly understand that “part of what you earn is yours to keep.”

The reason most Middle Income families continue to struggle today is because the conventional financial wisdom that has been passed on from generation to generation isn't designed to accumulate wealth. The conventional wisdom our great grandparents and grandparents learned was designed to protect their assets during the tough economic times of the great depression.

A Change In Philosophy
We need to start helping families, instead of just selling our products and investment returns!

Unfortunately, most agents and advisors are taught to tell people they need to invest in (or buy) ‘this or that’ by taking additional money out of their current budget. The problem is that many Middle Income families are only one or two paychecks away from going bankrupt! They don’t have any savings or even an emergency fund!

We need to help Middle Income families to 'find the money' to:

  • Reduce Or Eliminate Their Consumer Debt

  • Maximize The Amount They Can Invest From Current Income

  • Reap the Upside Of the Market, While Guaranteeing The Safety Of Their Investment Principal

  • Position Their Assets To Increase Their Eligibility To Qualify For College Financial Aid

  • Minimize Their Income Taxes

  • Position Their Money To Provide More Current Liquidity

  • Maximize Their Investment Returns, With Safety And Guarantees

And, in many cases, we can help them do it all without taking additional money out of their budget or changing their current lifestyle!

Most Families Are Being Misled
The truly said part is that, in order for agents and to make money, most Middle Income families have been sold policies with low deductibles and all sorts of unneeded expensive riders! They’ve been sold supplemental policies that aren’t really needed. They aren’t being told about quantity discounts, price breaks and tax saving ideas. This keeps many families from saving money and building a secure financial foundation!

Also, in many cases they are being told to put their safe money in the wrong places. They are losing money in the stock market. They are disqualifying themselves for the free money available for college financial aid and paying more taxes than necessary.

Watch Your Sales Grow
Now the question you may have is: “Can you really make money helping Middle Income families?”

The answer is a resounding “YES!”

…If you learn how to conduct a thorough fact-find and you help these Middle Income families to reposition their money to have the financial security they want and deserve!

We have many agents, advisors and planners that are working with Middle Income families, using our Found Money Management system and they are:

  • In front of 3 to 5 of their 'IDEAL' prospects every week…

  • Earning an average commission of $3,000 to $7,000 per household...

  • Earning $25,000 to $50,000 per month. (Every month)…

And, you can do it too!

Yours in success,
Lew Nason

P.S. Here is just one example of the success people are experiencing...
 

"Lew and Jeremy, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication over the years. It has been a great pleasure working with you and your team over the past 8 years. You have provided me world class training and support. You have helped me immensely with my newsletters, booklets, PowerPoint presentations, and so much more. The masterminding in the live classes is priceless. Recently I did a seminar with the PowerPoint you helped me customize. I created over $80,000 in commissions from that one seminar and business keeps rolling in.  The Found Money Management program that you teach goes hand in hand with what I do. We help clients to dramatically improve their financial situation. Thanks again for all you do. God bless you and the Insurance Pro Shop!
Your Friend,"

Improve Your Attitude And Change Your World

The Success System That Never Fails

Part Five - (8:58 Minutes)

By W. Clement Stone

Be A Self-builder. It’s important to inspect yourself, in other words, to be aware of which areas of your life are going well and which ones need improvement. That also applies to your character -- which features are positive and which ones need improvement or elimination.

W. Clement Stone also mentions how important self-motivators are. Self-motivators is in his phrase meaning “affirmations”. If you keep affirming something positive and useful to yourself every day, eventually that affirmation becomes you – you will live such affirmation every day of your life.

 

 

Stone also talks about the “unseen walls” that so many people build in their minds. People build such walls by not listening to or accepting any new concepts and by refusing to step out of their comfort zones. To avoid such walls, you have to expose yourself to new ideas and keep abreast of what’s happening in the world.

"Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met."
W. Clement Stone

How To Become The Most 'Trusted Advisor'
In Your Local Community!

Newsletters Build Relationships, Increases Sales and Get Referrals!

Here’s what Master Marketing Guru Dan Kennedy had to say in his 'No BS Marketing Newsletter' about marketing with newsletters:

"Please Listen up: if you are not arriving at your clients’ and prospects desks or doorsteps by mail (not e-mail) with a newsletter or similar piece… you have no fence around your herd; no foundation for asking for response to specific offers. Recently a client showed me two virtually identical direct mail campaigns for two almost identical businesses, each to the same number of customers. One got a great response; the other got a nominal response."

"The difference: The one that got a great response, mails a monthly newsletter to those customers; the one who got disappointing results does not. So one who shows up regularly to say “hi, how ya doing?” as a foundation, thus being more welcome when occasionally dropping by to say “hey, buy this”, the other one only shows up when he wants to sell you something."

Kennedy continues: “Pleeeeze do NOT be a penny pinching fool about this either. Incredibly, people try every imaginable way to scrimp on this. What if I only mail every other month? What if I just put ‘em in a pile on the park bench in front of the local post office? And on and on… Frankly that sickens me."

The last thing you want to cheat on is the foundation of your entire business: Relationship"

---Dan Kennedy - 'No BS Marketing Newsletter' February 2006

Newsletters help you maintain contact with clients, referral sources, and prospective clients at a reasonable cost. Regular contact with such people provides many benefits:

Newsletters Help You To Keep Clients
Your current clients hold your best opportunity for future growth. A monthly newsletter helps you keep top-of-the-mind awareness with your current customers. When your newsletter arrives, your clients start to think about you. Issue after issue, your newsletter reinforces your relationship with your clients and gives you a way to tell them about products and services they may not know about.

Newsletters Help You To Get New Clients
Your newsletter will help you to get new customers. Informative articles give your newsletter what marketing pros call “pass-along value.” Your newsletter makes it easy to pass on the information. Because people read newsletters as a publication and not as a marketing piece, a newsletter is a great way to tell potential clients about your business.

Newsletters Help Build Your Credibility
When people read your brochure, they treat it as a piece of marketing literature. But when they read your newsletter, they treat it as a publication. Your newsletter also gives you the opportunity to tell people success stories about what you do and how well your products work. You can illustrate the benefits of your product or service with statistics and customer testimonials. Credibility is a huge benefit of a monthly printed newsletter.

Newsletters Help You To Stand Out from Your Competition
Since you are providing valuable information, you are differentiating yourself from other agents and advisors, especially those agents and advisors that do not send out client newsletters.

Newsletters Help You To 'BRAND' Your Image
Branding is the art of making people aware of who you are, what you do, and how you’re different from... and better than the competition. You want to have a little bell go off in people’s heads when they hear your name. You want them to say, “Oh, yes, they’re the people who...”

So there you have it, I simply can’t say it any more clearly! Publishing a monthly customer newsletter is just smart business. Not doing so, no matter what you offer, is simply not smart.

Don’t let another month go by that you’ll lose more commissions and fees to a competitor, because they paid more attention to the people you know, than you did!

Yours in success,
Jeremy Nason and Lew Nason

Don’t PURSUE Clients, ATTRACT Them!

Do you pursue clients, or do you attract them?

While both methods of finding new business work to some degree, finding the right prospects through attraction is a lot more fun and - for professionals and entrepreneurs who provide individualized service to their clients - it’s usually more effective than finding them by pursuit.

Attraction methods involve drawing prospective clients to you: People who relate to you, people who have an interest in what you have to offer, people who share your values and beliefs, and people who believe…in you. If you do it right, the people you attract are your ideal prospects. It’s a natural, comfortable, professional, and self-perpetuating process.

Pursuing clients, on the other hand, means spending a great deal of time and money on efforts such as social media advertising, e-blasts, or casting a huge, expensive fishing net of direct mailings to catch the next great client. One of the problems associated with this method is that people are so inundated with marketing messages that repeated mailings and advertising are necessary before someone will actually respond. This means more and more expense.

When the growth of your business relies on pursuing prospects, rather than on attracting them, the effort to find new prospects through these same methods is continual. If you stop the pursuit, the flow of prospects stops, too.

Attraction, on the other hand, has just two self-sustaining components:

~Being “attractive,” and
~Giving your target clients an opportunity to connect with you.

Being attractive.

By being attractive, I don’t mean having an attractive appearance, although you do need to have a professional appearance. An easy way to understand this is to ask what kind of people you are attracted to–in the business sense. Who do you enjoy being around and working with? What character/personality traits do they have? What is it about them that attracts you?

Some traits are universally attractive: personal integrity, having a life purpose, and passion, for instance. People want to be around a person who is clear about who he or she is and what matters to him or her. Such a person is often viewed as a leader.

If you want to be attractive in business, become clear about what matters to you, and then work to develop a clean and concise way to let others know what that is.

Giving your target clients an opportunity to connect with you.

There are a number of ways to give others an opportunity to be with you. Most of these involve getting out of your office and interacting with them. That means going where your prospective clients can be found, talking to them, and letting them know what you are all about - not just as a professional or business owner, but as a person.

Attraction methods include serving your clients on a level that makes them want to tell others about you, and learning to ask them to connect you with more people like them. It also includes speaking and writing about what you do.

By sharing about yourself, you allow others to understand who you are. Once people see who you are, you will attract the ones who relate best to you.

In the meantime, keep REACHING…
