Government Employees Have Trouble Buying Disability Insurance

I have found there is a little known loophole with government employees that try to buy private disability insurance on the open market. It doesn’t even matter whether or not the government entity, in which they are employed, offers long term disability insurance or not. It doesn’t matter if it is federal, state or local Continue reading →

However, when you ask the majority of people in sales and insurance, they openly admit they don’t receive as many referrals as they should or hope to receive. Is it that hard to ask for a referral?

Are You Organized?

One of the most important aspects of business is organization. When you are in sales or an insurance agent, being organized is a must. I have seen insurance agent’s cars that look like a giant hamster nest. I mean papers, lead cards, applications and policies everywhere.

Did You Play Follow the Leader?

As a child growing up, did you play follow the leader? It was a playground game where one kid was designated the leader and the other kids had to follow and do what he did. If he went down the slide, everyone went down the slide. If he climbed the monkey bars, everyone climbed the Continue reading →

Why Build a Team?

I hear from a lot of sales people and insurance agents that want every piece of business for themselves to maximize commissions. They don’t want to share their knowledge or their leads. I also hear from those that only want a team, so they don’t have to work as hard. They want others to do Continue reading →

To Thine Own Self Be True

We now live in a world with corporate executives lying, politicians’ lying, government officials lying and our news media lying all in the name of profit and power. Our society has lost its Continue reading →

Success Why Not You?

Why is success so elusive for so many people? Could it be most people focus on the wrong thing? I talk to a lot of agents and clients every week and this subject comes up a lot. I have met very few that want to fail or not have any dreams or ambitions in life, Continue reading →

Excuse Me, Do You Know Where You Are Going?

Sometimes talking to people, you really have to wonder if they know where they are going. Even some life insurance agents, small business owners and entrepreneurs lose sight of where they are going. We are all guilty sometimes of our day to day routine and business duties that we can lose track of our end Continue reading →

Going back to August of 2002 my old insurance company had a big celebration in Las Vegas NV. Part of the fun included a couple of nights of live entertainment. One night was a great band and the other night there were 3 comedians, one of which no one had ever heard of, a ventriloquist. Continue reading →
