Q: What were you doing for work prior to getting started with FFL?
A: I was working as a surgical tech and I had also worked with other IMO’s before in the past.

Q: Why did you decide to switch over to FFL?
A: I was skeptical at first but my husband convinced me to look into it and attend the convention. After that event I quit my job the next day and decided I was going to jump into this full time.

Q: What were your first few weeks out in the field like?
A: They weren’t great, I think I issued around $4,000 my first month. It really took me the full 90 days to start feeling really comfortable and issuing over 20k consistently.

Q: What did you struggle with that you learned to overcome in order to have better results?
A: I had to learn to understand the importance of purchasing leads and the importance of being on the phone. Dials make up so much of our business that it’s necessary to get good at it in order to be successful. I also just learned to be comfortable with getting uncomfortable. I drive at least 2 hours to my appointments which wasn’t comfortable at first but I knew that I couldn’t hit the numbers that I wanted with only running in my backyard.

Q:What do you typically spend on leads?
A: In the beginning it was hard because we had about $300 to our name. I used to only get some aged mortgage protection and final expense leads. Now I get anything that I can get my hands on. I’m typically spending anywhere from $1500-2,000 per week.

Q:How did you maintain staying even keel during those first 90 days when you were still learning?
A: I think it’s all about the law of large numbers. The less numbers you have the riskier everything is going to be. If I only have 5 appointments for the day then It’s going to be rough on me mentally, but I also put in a lot of work outside of FFL to improve my mindset. I watch a lot of videos on it and and even plug into Dave Anderson’s course.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?
A: My focus is really on growing our agency and getting to board member status. I know that if we help others get to where they want to be then we’ll get to where we want to be as well.

Q: What’s your one piece of advice to a new agent who is struggling and considering quitting?
A: I’d ask if they are really putting in the work and taking this opportunity seriously. If you’re not getting good results then it’s because of you. You have to treat this like a business, not a hobby. We get paid extremely well so you have to understand that to get that result it can’t just be easy.
