Important Message From Jeremy...

A Positive Mental Attitude Can Change Your Life!

Dear ~Contact.FirstName~,

Have you ever heard; "Whatever the Mind Can Conceive and Believe, It Can Achieve?"

It’s one of my father's favorite quotes. And, something I firmly believe in.

If you want to succeed, it all starts with developing and maintaining a Positive Attitude. You must believe, with all your heart, you were born to win. Understand that within you are all the vast resources, potential, abilities, and the powers you need to become a Champion.

Start by mingling with people who are Positive. Don't blame God or anyone else for your lack of success. Develop a burning desire to succeed. Keep your mind on those things you want and off the things you don't want.

Napoleon Hill said you need certain things to change your world. They are:

1. A Positive Mental Attitude.
2. A Definiteness of Purpose.
3. Self Discipline.
4. Accurate Thinking.
5. Faith.
6. The Master Mind.
7. Going the Extra Mile.
8. A Pleasing Personality.
9. Enthusiasm.
10. Team Work.
11. Learning From Your Mistakes.
12. A Creative Vision.
13. Maintaining Sound Physical and Mental Health.

These Principles are not theory, imagination, and vague realities. These were extracted from the lifetime experiences of 100's of the most Successful People during the past century.

W. Clement Stone pointed out, that you have to analyze yourself and learn which of these principles you are using and which you are not using. By doing that, you can maintain a positive attitude in your everyday life and you can change your life forever.

Yours In Success,
Jeremy Nason

P.S. One of the keys to developing and maintaining a Positive Mental Attitude is having confidence in what you are doing. And how can you be confident if you don't get the marketing and sales training, with the coaching you need!

Finding The Best Prospects To Successfully Sell Life Insurance!

During the past 30 years, most of the major life insurance and annuity companies, independent marketing organizations (IMOs), insurance agencies, sales trainers, sales system providers, industry support organizations, and it seems that practically everyone in the financial services industry has shifted their focus away from servicing Middle Income Families. They are now focusing the majority of their marketing efforts and training, on attracting and servicing prospects in the more affluent markets. They’ll tell you that they believe that’s where agents and advisors can make the most money, quickly and with the least amount of effort and expense. Everyone seems to want to believe that, because these people have more money and they have more discretionary dollars, they are an easier sale. If only it were true and that easy!

The Reality Of Their Decision…
To begin with, is there any question that there are a lot less prospects in the more affluent market segments? When we talk to most advisors they believe that we are talking about the top 10% -15% of the U.S. population, which if it were true, would give them an abundance of prospects to see.

However, the reality of the situation is that, only 4% of households have a million or more in assets including their homes. But, only 1 in 125 Americans have more than $1 million in financial assets such as stocks, bonds, bank accounts, real estate and businesses they own. That’s based on a study published by Capgemini and Merrill Lynch & Co. Only about 2.5 million Americans, or less than 1 percent of the population over age 15 are millionaires. The report did not factor in the value of people's primary residences, which obviously would increase the number of millionaires. And, because many of these millionaires have their assets tied up in their businesses and real estate, there are even less of these people who have liquid assets to invest in or purchase your products.

Think about it…
With all the insurance agents and financial advisors moving into the more affluent markets and chasing the top 0.5% - 1% of the population, is it any wonder that most of these agents and advisors are struggling to make a decent living? It has gotten extremely competitive in the affluent markets. You just need to take a look in your local newspaper, on a Sunday, to get an idea of how many financial services professionals are currently offering annuity and investment seminars every month to the affluent markets! And, then to compound the problem, isn’t it where you will find the most competition from banks, attorneys, accountants, investment brokers and all the get rich quick scam artists?

Now consider…
When Tom Stanley and William Danko, the authors of 'The Millionaire Next Door', decided to investigate how people get wealthy, they found something extremely odd. They found that many of the people who live in the upscale neighborhoods and drive luxurious cars 'do not' have extreme wealth. They are not millionaires. Most of them are living well above their means. They are spending more money than they are making in order to maintain the appearance of being wealthy. The truth is that, like most people today, these people are struggling every month just to make ends meet.

The Capgemini/Merrill Lynch report also broke out how these very rich people allocated their assets. These millionaires put 34 percent in equities; 27 percent in fixed-income investments; 13 percent in real estate investments; 14 percent in alternative investments like hedge funds, foreign currency and commodities; and kept 12 percent in cash or deposits.

The Spectrum Group survey found that more than 35 percent of the affluent are retired and 36 percent are business owners. The overwhelming majority, 86 percent are married, and the mean age is just under 56.

According to a report from the Economic Policy Institute, The State of Working America… “64 percent of American households have stock holdings worth $5,000 or less, or own no stock at all.”

So, Where Can You Make The Most Money Selling Life Insurance?
If you want to find and make more money selling life insurance (or annuities) then you’ll want to serve Middle Income Families. We are talking about the top 50% or more of the US population, that is 50 to 100 times the amount of prospects available in the affluent markets. Obviously, that means there are a lot more prospects for you to see. And, there is a lot less competition from the other financial services professionals.

The only real problem with servicing Middle Income Families is that in order to find the money it requires you do a lot more work with the prospect. Many, if not most of these people are living beyond their means, and they are drowning in consumer debt.

At first glance it would appear, that the majority of these people do not have any discretionary money. But, in most of the cases appearances are deceiving. They do have discretionary money! You just have to learn how to help them find it! It’s about helping Middle Income Families to understand the problems they face today and then helping them to prioritize where they spend their money.

In most cases, you can help them to find the money ($3,000 to $12,000 per year) if you know where to look. And, you can do it all without taking additional money out of their pockets or changing their current life style. It’s simply a matter of helping them to re-allocate where they are spending their money unnecessarily.

Studies on the problems facing Middle American Families…

US Savings Lag - 64% of full-time U.S. workers are either behind in their retirement savings, or haven’t yet started. Widows in particular are likely to be behind - 70% are living “paycheck to paycheck.” MetLife Employee Benefits Trend Study

Americans Gripped By Fear – 95% of Americans have some financial-related concerns when it comes to retirement. 42% expressed fears related to retirement income: either that they will run out of money prematurely, or that they will have to downgrade their lifestyle in retirement. NAVA Financial Retirement Fears Study

Americans Have Wrong priorities – 70% of Americans are most concerned with short and midterm financial spending, while placing retirement savings at a distant third priority. Prudential Financial “Roadblocks to Retirement” Study

A message from Bob Kerzner, President and CEO of LIMRA International, 5/8/06.

"Retirement is more than simply income planning. People must also prepare for the potentially 'dangerous highway ahead' that may include outliving one's assets, health risks and long-term care needs, inflation and other pitfalls. Most Americans have not saved enough to retire as comfortably as they would like to.”

"We need to respond to their failure to save. To point out, especially to younger consumers, that the way to a great retirement is through systematic savings, not hot investments that boom today and bust tomorrow. Companies should do more to educate consumers about retirement. They need to know the risks they face or they will not be able to create that retirement paycheck, plan for long life, or rely on their personal savings for retirement.”

“I believe those companies that start looking more at the totality of retirement are the ones that will do better. People want a lifestyle, a great retirement, not a specific product. They will buy a product only if they see how it will get them the retirement they envision."

“Serve the classes, live with the masses.
Serve the masses, live with the classes.”
John Jacob Astor

The more you learn, the more you’ll earn!
Do you remember your Mom and Dad telling you; “Study hard and you will earn more!” It’s one of those irrefutable facts of life! Is it possible that a few simple changes in your marketing could make a major difference in your livelihood?

Think about it... If this business were really about having the best products and sales ideas, like people are telling you, then why are 90% of the new advisers failing and why is the average income for advisers only $40,000-50,000?

Don't wait to get started, take action now! You'll get everything we've promised, and much, more! Go ahead and hold our feet to the fire to provide you with cost-effective life insurance marketing, prospecting and sales training that really works - your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

"I just got off the phone with my CPA – I increased my bottom line 2 and half times over last year! He wanted to know what I was doing differently. He’s impressed – and wants to do a joint venture with me. You guys are right on the money. Your system absolutely works! My clients are happier and better off and so am I. I’ve said the same before but this is real proof. The bottom line doesn’t lie!" Audrey Sendrowski - MA (10 years) 

"I wish every agency and professional association would use your systems. While they are far from basic they do remind me how vital the basics are to my business and our industry. They reinforce the fact that questions, not products, help people to see you as an expert. The first time I used your two page presentation template I closed a 12K commission term conversion. After reviewing it the client literally said, let's go with the second option that you proposed. That's it! There was no closing, no cajoling and no begging. All the work was done during the first meeting. Thanks for all your help and coaching and please know that I appreciate your commitment to our industry."
Brandon Green, ChFC, CLU, CAS, CLTC, FSS, LUTCF, Allstate - TX, (13 years in the business)

Coaching Corner

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…
