Miranda Jett

Marinda is a new agent and just qualified as a sales manager for the first time! Continue reading to learn more about her time with FFL:

Q: What were you doing for work prior to getting started with FFL?
A: I was working at a different insurance company for close to five years. We mainly specialized in the final expense market.

Q: What made you want to look for a new company to get set up with?
A: There were a few different reasons. I wanted to be able to offer my clients more than just final expense because I had a lot of younger people clients asking for more coverage. We also had a very low compensation scale and no vesting day one.

Q: What has the learning curve been like for you since you already had some insurance experience?
A: The biggest thing for me was that I had to learn about new products like term insurance because I had never done them before. I was worried that I wasn’t going to be able to learn them quickly enough to be able to help my clients. Thankfully, we have awesome training here so I was able to get up and running fairly quickly.

Q: What was the lead program like at your previous company compared to what we have here at FFL?
A: My other company generated their own in-house leads but they were very expensive. That combined with the overall low compensation made it difficult to make money. They also had something called a “household cap” where if you wrote a few policies in a home they wouldn’t pay you for every single policy. One time I wrote over $4,000 in a home but only got paid around $800 because of the household cap. So I’m definitely getting more bang for my buck here at FFL.

Q: What helped you get to Sales Manager and what is your hiring strategy?
A: I’ve just been trying to keep a positive mindset and encourage my new agents that are just starting. I’m posting my commissions on social media and have been finding a lot of people just through that.

Q: What is your goal for 2021?
A: My goal by the end of the year is to get my agency issuing $300,000 per month.
