Q: What were you doing for work prior to getting started with FFL?
A: I was working at a nursing home but had just gotten my license around the time that I was laid off. I had called one of the FFL regional offices and I ended up being introduced to Steve Giordano who helped to get me started. I then worked on a part time basis initially for the first 3-6 months.
Q: What made you want to transition into the insurance industry from the medical field?
A: I initially didn’t want to do it, but I had a friend of mine that I played college basketball with that told me about the potential with insurance. My first thought was that I didn’t want to do the door-knocking or make any phone calls. But then around 6 months later I started doing more investigative work and looked up the reviews on Glassdoor for FFL. It was the only company I had ever seen that had such amazing reviews and very few cons. I knew I had to give it a try after seeing so many different people have success.

Q: Was it easy for you to purchase leads in the beginning?
A: It was tough because cash was tight at that time and I’m a single father. I started working at a call center part time after the nursing home and would use that money to purchase leads. I would spend around $500 a week and buy mainly second chance leads and do a ton of door-knocking.
Q: How did your lead purchasing change once you started to issue pay more?
A: Once I started making $2,000-3,000 a week from my sales I would take half of that and reinvest it into leads. Eventually I worked my way up to spending $8,000-9,000 per month. Sometimes I still have to pinch myself at the thought of how much I’m spending because I remember when I had less than $1,000 in my bank account. Its really all a testament to how awesome this company really is.

Q:Did it take a while for you to feel comfortable in the field or did it come easy to you?
A: It definitely wasn’t easy but it wasn’t hard either. Everything has a learning curve, so you just want to focus on sitting with those first 100 people. My upline Steve has been wonderful and showing me the ropes, and the resources that FFL provides have been very helpful. I make sure to listen to the podcasts every day and sometimes even multiple times per day.

Q: What’s your goal for 2021?
A: I would love to hit 300,000 and maybe have 10-20 people in my downline writing consistently. There’s a lot of people who are in the same situation I was in and this would give them the opportunity to do so much and open up new avenues in life.
