Ryan Gilley

Congratulations to Ryan Gilley on his quick and successful transition into the insurance industry! Ryan went full time after issuing $7,000 in his first few days in the field. He has also hired 4 licensed agents, has 4 in pre-licensing, and is on track to have 15 writing agents by the end of the month! Continue reading below to learn more about Ryan’s journey with FFL:

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

A: I was working in law enforcement for 2 years, and prior to that I served in the Army for 10 years as a sniper.

Q: How did you transition from the military and law enforcement to selling insurance?

A: They may seem different but you’re actively helping people in both fields of work. I enjoy being able to find out what my clients need and provide them with coverage in case a tragedy were to occur.

Q: You started out on a part time basis, why did you decide to go full time?

A: My initial plan was just to sell insurance on a part time basis. But I knew that my work schedule would conflict with the schedule of my clients which could make things difficult. I am someone who likes to give 100% to everything that I do. After my first week of success, my wife and I discussed it and decided the best choice for our family was to go full time with FFL.

Q: Even though you’re new I see that you’ve already started building an agency. What made you decide to do that so quickly?
A: Well first it’s because Dave W. is an awesome leader. I then had the opportunity to meet Shawn Meaike as well as some of FFL’s top agents. I heard someone say at a boot camp how they didn’t see the need to try and reconfigure the FFL business model because he had already seen its results. I agreed with that thinking so I decided to start building an agency like I saw other top agents doing. I knew that if I did that right away I’d be setting myself up for success down the road. A couple of the agents I’ve hired are already looking to start hiring for themselves. I expect to have around 15 writing agents by the end of the month and the plan is just to continue to grow from there.
