Important Message From Jeremy...

Will You Survive The Coming Changes In Our Industry?

Dear ~Contact.FirstName~,

Unfortunately, the new DOL rules are just a tip of the iceberg of the coming changes in the insurance and financial services industry.

And for the most part we, as an industry, deserve what we are getting. Too many companies, IMOs, Agents, Advisors, etc. are focused on just selling as much product as they can, to reap as much profit as they can. They are just pushing products, with little or no regard whether it is best for the client. 

Obviously, there are agents who are doing the right things, the right way, for the right reasons for their clients. These agents are reaping the financial rewards and will survive the coming changes, because they are actually helping people to better their financial lives.

“When you help enough people to get what they want,
you’ll get what you want.”

If you want to survive the coming changes in our industry…

It’s not about the products or investments you offer!
There is no one product or investment that is right for everyone. And, none of us has a crystal ball and knows which products or investments will perform the best over the next 30 or 40 years.

It’s not about the company you represent!
Many of what appeared to be the best companies through the years, like Executive Life, E.F. Hutton, Kentucky Central and others, are completely out of the business today. Other companies like Met Life, Prudential, The Equitable, Allianz, Northwestern and others have received a lot of extremely bad press in the past twenty years, because they seem to have forgotten they serve the people.

It’s not about a slick new sales idea or product!
New sales ideas and products come and go. Some are good and some are bad. Most new sales ideas and products tend to go too far and get into the grey areas of ethical conduct, income tax laws, etc.

And, it’s not about your credentials.
Your credentials alone won’t attract people to you, get you an appointment, or close a sale.

It is all about YOU, and your actions when you are with prospects!
It’s about your total belief and commitment in what you do. It’s about your knowledge, your ability and your willingness to really help people!

To quote the ‘Father of Financial Planning’, Loren Dunton, it’s about you… "Helping average people to learn how to spend, save, invest, insure and plan wisely for the future, to achieve financial independence."

It’s about YOU learning as much as you can, to become the expert in what you do. It’s about you understanding the financial problems we all face today and finding solutions that you would feel comfortable doing for your own situation. If you were in your prospect’s situation, what would you do? If the prospect were your own mother, father, sister, brother or best friend, what would you recommend?

It’s easy to survive in our industry… When you are totally committed to doing the right things, the right way, for the right reasons.

The truth of the matter, is that the best producers, those taking really good care of their clients, will survive and capture even more business, no matter what changes come down the pike!

Yours In Success,
Jeremy Nason

P.S. Consider... There is big money in selling shortcuts. (Selling Leads, Sales Ideas, etc.) We see many businesses that gladly sell short-term shortcuts to people looking for a magical, quick fix answer that makes them feel good. While this is definitely not our business approach, those companies are filling a genuine market and emotional need even though the long-term outcome is usually very unpleasant for those people that get involved.

“Successful men are influenced by the desire for pleasing results.
Failures are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are
inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by
doing things they like to do.”
Albert Gray, 'The Common Denominator of Success'

Providing a Lifetime Retirement Income
A few weeks ago, my wife and I had a wonderful time visiting with family that we don’t get to see very often. It was great talking to them and catching up on the news about them and their family. During one of the conversations, we briefly discussed their retirement income and they made the following comment - “As long as we earn an average 8 to 9% return our money will last forever.”

Are You Missing This ‘Little’ Secret To Closing More Annuity Sales?

There is a simple reason why the top annuity producers across the country are not having, or even seeing the problems that most of the other advisors are having. There is a ‘little’ secret they know and use. A secret that when most advisors hear it, they just think it can’t be that easy.

Would you like to know the ‘little’ secret to success in annuity sales? (And success in any sales for that matter!) 

In almost every article we’ve had published during the past 17 years, we’ve revealed the ‘little’ secret, and unfortunately only about one in hundred agents ever picks up on this secret and uses it. All the best sales and marketing trainers are always telling people about this ‘little’ secret for whatever product they are selling. Yet, very few people ever truly understand the power of it, and use it. 

Here’s their little secret… if you want to have more annuity prospects than you can possibly handle, to set more appointments, and close more sales: 

“Then, you must stop selling people a product, and instead help people
to identify, understand and solve THEIR problems!”
 

How many times have you read, or been told about this ‘little’ secret? This ‘little’ secret is what sets the top producers apart from everyone else, in all the sales fields.  

Some agents seemed to have learned this ‘little’ secret, and are successfully using it in their lead generation programs, and they are attracting tons of prospects. However, then they blow it in their seminars, workshops and approaches, because they revert back to pushing a product or the latest sales idea. Then, they wonder why people won’t set an appointment with them. And, then during the few appointments they do get, they push a product or a sales idea, and wonder why they can’t close the sale.

If the prospect doesn’t see and understand the problems they are facing? If they don’t see how you can help them to solve their problems, then why should they waste their time contacting you, set an appointment with you, or buy your products? 

If you’re just another annuity sales person selling a product, then why would they refer their friends, family or business associates to you? 

If you want to succeed in annuity sales, and collect a million dollars of annuity premiums every month, then you must help people to identify, understand and solve THEIR problems through EVERY PHASE of the sales process!  

In every phase of the sales process, you must be discussing how these retirees can make their money last during their ENTIRE retirement years, with safety and guarantees. It’s about you addressing their real concerns about outliving their money, and helping them to improve their lives. It’s helping these people to understand how you can help them to beat inflation, reduce income taxes, minimize investment risks, protect their income from the devastation of long-term care and replacing lost income when a spouse dies.

What's the quickest and most affordable way for you to learn how to help seniors and boomers to identify, understand, and solve THEIR problems? It's by becoming a member of the Insurance Marketing and Sales Resource Center!”   

Yours In Success,
Jeremy Nason

Referral Mastery 2017
Sandy Schussel

“NINE referrals today,” Dan, a financial advisor in one of my workshop programs, wrote to me.

This doesn’t sound like a big deal to some people, until they put it in perspective. Up until that day, Dan was averaging four or five referrals per YEAR. The fact that he could receive his usual year’s worth in a single day had monumental significance for him. It would be career-changing and life-changing.

But only two things had changed: Dan had changed his view of how referrals work, and he had found a more comfortable way to conduct referral conversations.

Until the workshop convinced him to try a different way, Dan had long ago stopped having referral conversations because they were awkward and uncomfortable - for him and for the people he asked.

Like many professionals, he had been taught to ask for referrals by focusing on his need to grow his business. This focus leads to the feeling that asking for referrals makes us sound needy - and it does - so we do it for a while under the close watch of our mentors or supervisors and then quickly abandon the practice…suffering the consequences of not getting enough qualified leads. This was holding Dan’s growth back.

But another consequence of his avoidance of referral conversations is that people his clients cared about were not getting the benefit of his services. Studies of client engagement patterns across various fields have confirmed that the way people most want to find their advisors, attorneys, etc., is through an introduction from someone they already trust - a friend or another professional.

Not asking was not good for Dan and not good for the people who had no way to find him. But it also wasn’t good for his clients. It deprived them of the opportunity to do something great for the people they care about. Think about the connections you’ve made between people and how putting them together made you feel.

What Dan needed was to start believing that having referral conversations was actually good for everyone concerned, and to find a comfortable way to initiate these conversations that wasn’t about his need to grow his business. After three workshop sessions, he had both. He also came to understand that the best way to get referrals is to earn them - and he learned how to “engage” clients so that they would be 100% likely to give him referrals.

Here is some of what Dan learned:

1. Don’t surprise clients with your request for introductions. Put it in your meeting agenda, just after a discussion about your relationship.

2. Don’t have a referral conversation without first having a conversation about your relationship. If your clients are singing your praises, you have a green light.

3. Don’t ask for people to call. Ask for people you can talk about who might want your help. When you identify one, ask “Who else?” Collect the names of people you’ll be discussing.

4. Now, go back and discuss each person and ask how he or she would be most comfortable being introduced to you. Then, arrange introductions.

The best way to master this approach is to attend the very affordable workshop Dan attended, beginning this year in September, Referral Mastery 2017. For six weeks you’ll receive everything you need - detailed lessons on all of the steps in my proven referral system, weekly online live coaching, scripts and reading materials, and a private coaching session with me. If you register before August 1st, I’ll add an additional private coaching session.

If referrals are a challenge for you, take a look at this program and if it makes sense, register now to take advantage of the private coaching.

If you want professional help to master a system for obtaining new clients that works, enroll in this program. In the meantime, keep REACHING…

Sandy
