Q: What were you doing for work prior to getting started with FFL?

A: I was working in hospitality management, specifically in the operations department. I made around $32,000 per year.

Q: How were you introduced to FFL?

A: I was introduced to Jordan L. through an Instagram message. He was initially just trying to recruit my girlfriend Mikayla because she had been in sales positions before. I wasn’t ready to join at that time but he kept bringing it up to me. About five months later I started listening to the different podcasts that showcased the different success stories and that’s when I decided to do it.

Q: How was the learning curve for you when you got started?

A: It was a very eye opening experience LOL! I had never had a job where I had to call people and then get hung up on. It was definitely an adjustment all across the board. I was able to issue $13,000 my first month but it was a lot of me just falling on my face and learning to fail forward.

Q: How much did you typically spend on leads your first month?

A: I was spending around $600-800 per week on Facebook leads and I also did a ton of door-knocking. I would look to book around 15-18 appointments and then fill the rest of my schedule with doorknocks, because once you get in the door they’re a lot nicer than they may have been on the phone.

Q: When you were faced with adversity like getting no shows and cancellations, what allowed you to push through and not just quit?

A: I had belief in the system and I was continuously listening to podcasts and hopping on the calls. I just kept showing up. I realized that if I just kept my attitude and activity at an all time high like Jordan advised that it would all work out. I had also quit things in the past and passed up potentially good opportunities and I didn’t want to do that again with this opportunity. There was no quitting because there was no plan B.

Q: How long do you think it took for you to get really comfortable on the phone and in the home?

A: I’d say it took me around 3-4 months to really understand all the different aspects like diversifying lead flow, in home presentations, scheduling etc.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?

A: I missed the Hall of Fame by around $50,000 so I’d like to qualify for the Hall of Fame this year. As an agency I’d love to have 100 writing agents and do a million a month. I’d also like to have at least eight logos throughout my agency.

Q: What’s your one piece of advice to new agents looking to have success like you?
A: You just have to plug into the system. You don’t have to create your own path, just do whatever has been laid out for you and hop on all the calls you possibly can. Also, try not to get too caught up in thinking about what products you have to write and actually just get out there and interact with people.
