Improve Your Attitude - The Success System That Never Fails - Part 6

Important Message From Jeremy...

Dear ~Contact.FirstName~,

Please Read And Consider The Following...

You take a few income tax courses at the local college and decide you want to open an income tax service, in your home. You buy some tax preparation software. Your company's name is John Smith Tax Services. To get clients you call your friends and family, cold call people, and run ads in the newspaper offering to do income taxes for families for an extremely low fee. If that is all you did to bring in customers, what are your chances of making a good living doing income taxes? How long would your business survive?

What are you missing?

Why would anyone call you or agree to meet with you? How do they know you are qualified to do income taxes? How much experience do you have? Are you reliable? Aren't there a lot of well known companies you are competing with, local accountants, H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, etc.? What sets you apart?

How did you get started into insurance sales?

Did you take an insurance course to get your insurance license? Were you recruited by an independent agency or IMO? Did they train you on a few products? Is your company name something like John Smith Insurance Services? To get clients are you cold calling people and running ads in the newspaper offering low cost insurance? (Or, are you buying leads from people who run ads on the internet offering low cost insurance!)

Or, were you recruited by a career company? Did the company help you to get your insurance license? Did they train you on a few of their products? Instead of having a company name, are you telling people you represent ABC Insurance? To get clients are you calling your friends and family, cold calling, and running ads in the newspaper offering low cost insurance? (Or, are you buying leads from people who run ads on the internet offering low cost insurance?)

What are you missing?

Why would anyone call you or agree to meet with you? How do they know you are qualified to help them? How much experience do you have? Are you reliable? Aren't there a lot of better known people you are competing with, P&C Agencies, banks, and probably another hundred or so agents, advisors and planners in your local community? What sets you apart?

Whether you are an independent agent or career agent, if you want to make a good living and build a business that will survive long term, you have to create your brand... then market and advertise your services!

Your brand is why they should choose you over your competition... Simply put, your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from that of your competitors. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be, and who people perceive you to be.

  • What does your company name tell them about what you do?

  • What is your tag line?

  • Do you have a unique selling proposition? (USP)

  • What do you say to the people you meet about what you do? (Your Elevator Talk)

  • Do you have a handout you give to the people you meet, that helps them to understand who you are and what you do? (Company Brochure, BIO Sheet)

  • Once you build your brand, how do you get the message out to people about you and the services you provide? (Market and Advertise)

How do you learn about all these important fundamentals of building your insurance business?

You can learn how to brand, market and advertise your business by trial and error. You can search the Internet for free information and try to apply it to the insurance business. You can write articles, create your own newsletter, and information booklets.

Or, you can learn from people who have been successfully training agents for over 30 years!

We have put all these important fundamentals and the tools you need in our Insurance Marketing and Sales Resource Center!

Yours In Success,

How To Earn $100,000 Or More Selling Mortgage Insurance?

If you’re new to mortgage insurance sales (or, if you’re just tired of selling the lowest cost term insurance and barely making a living) and you want to “crack the code” on the ‘Cutting Edge’ mortgage insurance lead generation, prospecting, appointment setting and sales skills that will get you off to a quick start... so you can start selling mortgage life insurance like a pro immediately... then this will be the most exciting thing you ever read.

We’ve Made It Easier For You... And Much More Profitable!
Every experienced sales professional knows there are just three basic things behind making consistent sales…

  • Being In Front Of Your 'IDEAL' High Quality Leads…

  • Turning Your Leads Into High Quality Sales Appointments...

  • Consistently Turning Your High Quality Sales Appointments Into Insurance Sales!

The problem is that most insurance agents are being told they can buy their way into a sale. They are being told that they can buy tons of mortgage insurance leads, tell the prospects that they have lowest priced term life insurance products and they’ll get lots of appointments and sales. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way, and the vast majority of these agents are struggling to make a decent living selling mortgage protection. Shameful!

If it were that easy to sell mortgage insurance, wouldn’t every one of those agents be making a six figure income?

“If You Want To Succeed In Insurance Sales, Then Stop Selling Products! Instead Help People To Find A Solution To Their Problems!” Lew Nason

Obviously There’s Something Missing...
There’s Something You Aren’t Being Told!

You Can Consistently Earn $100,000 Selling Life Insurance!

It’s EASY Once You Know And Apply The Insider Secrets!

Proven 80% Success Rate…
We‘ve been training and coaching career and independent life insurance agents for over 3 decades. For example: As a branch manager for Met Life, from 1989 to 1994, I hired 23 brand new agents. Each of these agents started their careers by selling mortgage protection insurance. Over 10 years later, 18 of those agents were still selling life insurance and they are making well over $100,000 per year. Today, many of them are making $200,000, $300,000 and much more.

Consider, according to LIMRA, (Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association) the failure rate for new agents coming into this business is over 90% in the first 5 years. I was able to achieve an 80% success rate.

Why Are These Agents Doing So Well?
First, we taught them how to get off to a quick start, with very little expense, using ‘Cutting-Edge’ prospecting and appointment setting skills. They are 'Attracting' their ideal prospects, instead of chasing after them.

Second, they learned how to consistently close 3-5 life insurance sales each week by helping their prospects to ‘Find the Money’ to pay-off their mortgage 5-10 years early, to save thousands in interest payments! (Minimum commission $1,000 x 5 sales x 50 weeks = $250,000)

Consider, it doesn’t matter how many leads you have, if you don’t have the skills to turn those leads into an appointment and then into a sale!

“The Main Reason So Many Advisors Struggle In Insurance Sales, Isn’t From A Lack Of Qualified Leads. It Is From Their Inability To Turn Those Leads Into An Appointment, Let Alone A Sale! ” Lew Nason

We’ve made it astonishingly easy! Simple to get!
And, best of all... We’ve Kept It Affordable For Everyone!

Think about it, you can keep stumbling and fumbling around, searching for a good source of mortgage insurance leads; spending a thousand or more per month on leads; and struggle to make a living, to become one of the 90% who don’t make it! Or, you can invest in a mortgage life insurance lead generation and selling system that has a proven 80% success rate.

And, because our strategies are based upon you really helping people, you will 'ATTRACT' prospects to you... instead of chasing after them and begging for an appointment!

If you’re looking for a ‘Magic Formula’ that doesn’t require study, practice and hard work… this isn’t it! (Because, it doesn’t exist!)

However, if you’re ready to stop listening to all the hype and false promises out there!

If you’re ready to learn what it really takes to start making $10,000, $20,000, or more each and every month, selling Mortgage Life Insurance the right way! And do it in the next 90 days or less… then you must invest in this detailed ‘turnkey’ system TODAY! Click Here to Learn More!

Norman Vincent Peale Quote

It’s entirely up to you. You can continue to believe all the hype out there... Or, you can invest your money, time and effort in a Mortgage Insurance Sales System that has a ‘time tested’ proven history of helping agents to double or triple their life insurance sales and commissions in as little as the next 60-90 days!

There is a reason why over 30 of the most trusted and respected names in this industry, the IARFC and hundreds of successful advisors highly recommend our insurance marketing and sales training.

"In Just 3.5 Months I Sold $44,000 In Life Premiums" 

"I have been looking for a "magic" system for selling insurance and leads. It doesn't exist! However, within about 30 days the Insurance Pro Shop's Mortgage Protection Sales System and training has changed my practice! This is a complete system that if applied can turn anyone's practice around in 30 days. The simple facts are... from Jan 1/2011 - Mar 31/2011, I sold $30k in life premium. From April 1-18th I sold $14K in life premium and 2 annuities for $57k.  I also had a client call me and we are working on a $300k annuity which will be the largest I have ever moved.  I have looked everywhere for a system that works, and bought a lot systems. This is the only one that really works.  There are some simple truths to this business and you cannot work around them.  The key to the selling Mortgage Protection is in showing people how to pay for the coverage the want. 
I think this is a must have for any agent.
It changed my life."

Coaching Corner

BE FIRST, BE DARING, BE DIFFERENT!
Sandy Schussel

I opened up a fortune cookie last night and read: “To Be Successful In Business Be First, Be Daring, Be Different.”

I dropped the little slip of paper into my near empty coffee cup. As I was discarding the cup, however, it struck me that this fortune extolled the exact advice I give many of my clients - not just about business, but about careers and as a way to live their lives. It really did say something about someone’s future! I dug the wet fortune out of the cup with a letter opener to look at it again.

In the last twenty years, a great many products and services have become commodities. If you’re not sure what I mean, think of apples. When you go into the supermarket for an apple, you are not likely to care what orchard it came from - you just want it to be sweet, juicy and reasonably priced. No apple stands out as being First, Daring or Different.

Twenty or twenty-five years ago, if you wanted a computer, your choices were an IBM (First), an IBM “clone” (Daring), or an Apple Computer like the MacIntosh (Different). Today, however, if you want a computer you may still look for a brand name, but you’re unlikely to care which brand name it is. In other words, name-brand computers have, for most of us, become... well... apples.

This has happened with services, too - probably with the service you provide. Too many of us are “apples.” Too few of us are First , Daring or Different.

But when you’re an apple, the only way you can compete is by price - and that means smaller margins for smaller businesses.

The solution is to stop being an apple. When you’re First, your competitors are the apples. When you’re Daring or Different, you’ll attract the people who don’t want just any apple.

Here’s what you can do:

(1) Change your business. For instance, many of my colleagues have told me I’m crazy to include unlimited phone and e-mail contact in my coaching fee.

(2) Articulate your unique value to your customers. While, like most coaches, I’ll work with anyone who is serious about bringing success into his or her life, I specialize in helping professionals and entrepreneurs who are struggling to get more clients.

(3) Get professional assistance. Turning yourself from an apple into anything else is never easy. That’s why coaching has become so popular. It costs you nothing to find out whether coaching might be right for you. Give me a call toll-free at 888-289-5551 or write me to set up a time for us to talk.

In the meantime, start working on being First, being Daring, and being Different and keep REACHING...

Improve Your Attitude And Change Your World

The Success System That Never Fails

Part Six - (4:41 Minutes)

By W. Clement Stone

It takes less work to succeed, than to fail. You can achieve success in less time by focusing on the right things. You should learn a lot about a little rather than a little about a lot. Learning a lot about a little makes you an expert and you don’t waste your energy for nothing. Time spent this way is time well invested.

When you do something, focus completely on a task. But you should do tasks that count rather than those which cause you to waste your energy and don’t give you good results. You should put your heart in your work and give to the task everything you have. Then, once it’s done, completely take your mind off the task and relax. That’s how Clement Stone went about selling and this brought him amazing success.

When you find out a lot about a little, you can develop a technique. You can keep trying to do new things until you discover a success formula. Then all you have to do is stick to it – do the same thing all the time – and it will consistently bring you great results.

When you have proper knowledge, know-how and inspiration to action, it takes a little time for you to succeed because you possess a success system that never fails. That shows that it takes less time and work to succeed than to fail.

It’s important to do what you are afraid to do because whenever you do something you fear, you become open to an opportunity. However when you let the fear take over you, you let the opportunity pass you by. Whenever you step into the unknown, you become more confident and you become exposed to the new environment that can teach you something new and improve you.

"No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto."
W. Clement Stone
