Changing Lives

3x Hall of Famer Conrad Pawlowski’s agency FFL Ventures just issued $300,000 for the first time! Continue reading to learn more about what’s lead to his growth:

Q: How long have you been working with FFL?
A: I’ve been here for 7.5 years.

Q: Recently your agency production has really started to grow, what do you think has lead to that?
A: I think that a lot of the agents have really started to build their own downlines. And I think a big reason for that is all of the momentum around the Integrity partnerships. It’s really increased the belief level of people which has caused them to be more confident in sharing the opportunity.

Q: How have you been able to manage and maintain your high production simultaneously?
A: I’d say I’m still working on figuring out how to perfectly balance those two. I’ve been focusing on trying to get my production done early so that I can have more days during the week to do interviews with new agents.

Q:How important do you think it is for you to keep producing at a high level?
A: I’m a firm believer in what Shawn has said about leading a team which is “Your agents will do half of what you do.” So it’s very important for me to consistently produce at a high level. The other agents on my team have also made this easier for me because they’re showing leadership to their people as well which allows me to focus on my production and the agents that really need my help.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?
A: My goal is to get my agency to the $1 million mark by the end of the year, and personally I’d like to issue $600,000.

Q: What’s your one piece of advice to an inexperienced agent who’s wondering if FFL would be a good fit for them?
A: I’d say to not overthink anything. We have a system here that works. All you have to do is follow the playbook. Don’t try to recreate a system that is already functioning well and growing very quickly. Follow the instructions and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

Alex recently qualified as an Executive Vice President with his agency FFL Fire issuing $587,142! Continue reading to learn more about his journey with FFL:

Q: What were you doing for work prior to getting started with FFL?
A: I sold my first policy on Jan. 10th 2019. Prior to that I was working as an insurance agency for a different company.

Q: Why did you decide to switch over to FFL?
A: I was living with Jordan L. at the time and struggling financially. My previous insurance company didn’t offer a lead program and the compensation was about half of what FFL has. It was a no-brainer for me to make the move.

Q: Did you start seeing results quickly since you already had some insurance experience?
A: No I was not the type of FFL agent that did well initially. It took me around 7 months before I was able to issue $20k. It was my own fault, I kept trying to do things my own way especially in regards to leads. Once I let my ego go and just followed the system is when I started to see positive results. I just made sure to never quit.

Q: What did your initial lead strategy look like and what is it now?
A: Initially, I was spending around $1500-2000 per month on leads in order to issue $8,000-$10,000. Now I’ll spend around $4,000 per month in order to issue $20,000-$25,000. When you put yourself in uncomfortable positions like that you’re forced to figure it out and rise above it.

Q:Did you start building an agency from the very beginning?
A: No and that is my biggest regret. I thought I needed to get to issuing 20k before I could start to hire. I tell all of my new agent now that they should leverage the stories of the many successful agents that we have here. There’s a learning curve so there’s no reason that you have to reach a certain level of success before sharing the opportunity.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?
A: My goal is to get my agency to the 10 million agency hall of fame level. I know that in order to do that I’ll have to continue working on raising up the leaders that I have on my team.

Q: What’s your one piece of advice to an agent who’s struggling in that learning curve phase like you did?
A: I’d say to go to Youtube and look up the trainings for the 2 or 3 agents that you relate to. We have tons of amazing training online and if you can plug into around 3-4 hours of that per day your mentality will start to change.

FFL would like to spotlight Tobe Oraegbu as our agent of the week! Tobe has been with FFL for only 4 months and has already issued $95,021! Continue reading to learn more about his start with FFL:

Q: What were you doing for work prior to getting started with FFL?
A: I was working in the insurance industry but at a different company.

Q: Why did you decide to switch over to FFL?
A: I wanted to build an agency and the system at my previous company didn’t enable a lot of people to win. The lead flow wasn’t good and the compensation would start at a low 35%. It got to the point where I just started to tell the agents that they should leave because I knew they weren’t making any money. I knew some people who had gone to FFL so I made the decision to give it a try.

Q: What did your early lead investments look like compared to what you spend now?
A: I was never scared to invest. It was a concept that I understood was necessary in order to be able to help people. I started out with purchasing around $500 worth of leads and now I’m up to spending around $2,000.

Q: What was the most difficult thing for you to overcome?
A: I think that because we have the most transparent training in the industry it really wasn’t that hard because everyone shares what they do. All I had to do was plug into the system to see how they handle the phones, in home presentations etc.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?
A: My personal goal is to issue $600,000 -$800,000 and I’d like to see my agency issuing at least $500,000.

Q: What’s your one piece of advice to an agent who’s at a different company like you were and struggling with leaving?
A: I think the biggest dilemma that agents with other companies deal with is loyalty. They think they should be loyal to the company. My loyalty is to my family and myself. So, my advice would be to look at the numbers that FFL is putting out and make a logical decision based upon that.

Matthew has been with FFL for less than 3 months as of 4/28/2021 and is already issuing over $20k! Continue reading to learn more about his quick start with FFL:

Q: What were you doing for work prior to getting started with FFL?
A: I had worked in a lot of different sales positions since the age of 16. My last job before getting started with FFL was working as a garage floor salesman. I had tried so many different jobs that I considered myself a “serial quitter”.

Q: How did you get introduced to FFL?
A: I was introduced to the opportunity by my friend Andre. He showed me the business model and I was immediately sold. Initially I was just going to start it on a part time basis but my company found out what I was doing and decided to fire me. They wanted me to only be committed to them. I told Andre and he laughed! He told me that now there was nothing holding me back because it was “do or die”. I realized he was right and everything happens in God’s timing.

Q: How did it feel to have to go all in when you were relying on that income?
A: I felt a mixture of feelings. It wasn’t my initial plan but I tend to work my best when my back is up against the wall, that’s something I’ve had to do my entire life.

Q: Was it difficult for you to invest into leads initially?
A: I grew up in a very entrepreneurial household so I learned the concept of needing money to make money at a young age. My first lead purchase cost $1,000 which was a little scary since that was all the money that I had but I understood the importance of it.

Q:Did you make all your money back off of that first investment?
A: No it actually took me a few weeks to really get the hang of everything. I had the work ethic but I had to go through some mentality shifts in order to connect more with the client. I was so focused on getting a sale for money because that was the culture of my past positions but that doesn’t work here. When I changed that was when the results started to come.

Q:What kept you pushing forward even though you weren’t making any money during that period of time?
A: I had the luxury of getting to see one of my friends who started around the same time as me have success very quickly. Seeing him make money while I was struggling told me that it had to be something that I was doing wrong because the system was working for others. I knew that if I just kept going it would eventually work out.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?
A: My personal goal is to qualify for the Hall of Fame. In regards to my agency, I’d like to have at least one other agent qualifying for the Hall of Fame as well.

Q: What’s your one piece of advice to an agent who’s struggling during the learning curve phase?
A: I would say to push harder. I realized that whenever I thought that I was at my lowest was when something good would happen. Usually when you’re at that point you’re so close to having a breakthrough so just keep going and push harder.
