FFL would like to highlight new agent Jake Konen and his amazing accomplishments with FFL. Jake started as a full time agent in June 2020 and has recently qualified for the hall of fame with over $400,000 in production! Continue reading below to learn about his first 6 months with FFL:

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

A: I was working at a captive agency in Montana and initially got into the industry in 2018.

Q: Why did you decide to switch over to FFL?

A: There were numerous reasons, but the main ones were in regards to FFL offering a lead program. At my previous company I had to do all cold calling and door-knocking. I liked how with FFL you were never short of clients as long as you’re consistently investing.

A: What was the training process like for you?

Q: It was mainly just asking Easton P. a lot of questions and then going out in the field and figuring it out as I went.

A: What were those first few days in the field like?

Q: I sold a couple just out of luck, but there were quite a few that I missed. I had to learn to tweak my verbiage, timing, and how to tie concepts together better. I watched Youtube like a mad man! All of our top leaders offer a ton of great content. 

Q: Were you always trying to hit hall of fame status, and if so what was your strategy?

A: Yes that was always my goal. I started full time in June and did the math of what numbers I would need to hit to get to hall of fame. I knew I had to issue pay around $67,000 a month to have a realistic shot at it.

Q: What have you been spending on leads in order to hit the Hall of Fame? 

A: I spend between $1,000-$2,000 a month.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?

A: I’d like to expand more into hiring now that I’m confident in my own production. I want to help other captive agents as well as people from other industries because this is just such an amazing opportunity.

Q:What’s one piece of advice you have for new agents looking to get started as quickly as you?

A:I’d say to invest in leads and not worry about being perfect. Just learn as you go and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
