Dear New and Newer Agent,

As you are reading the following information, you might want to think about the exceptional opportunities you have to be helping people today, while earning an extraordinary living in this great insurance and financial services profession.  The opportunity for the "average" insurance agent to earn in excess of $250,000 per year is incredible.  However, without the correct mindset and the proper approach to selling insurance, most new agents will struggle and earn incomes that will fall far short of their potential.

Contrary to what most of the recruiters, managers and companies may tell you...
90% of the people who enter insurance sales struggle, and are out of the business within 5 years!  And, the average net income for insurance agents, financial advisors and planners (as reported by LIMRA) is less than $40,000 per year!

What the Leading Producers know, that you don't, is most people are looking for real help with their finances!  People want to believe and know they can take back the control of their money.  They want to know they can have a secure financial future.  And, the best producers know that people will buy based on their set of beliefs, their energy and their enthusiasm.

If you want to succeed in insurance sales, then you must truly believe what you do really helps people!  You must believe with all your heart and soul that what you do is valuable and important!

Your purpose is
'NOT' to sell products, price or investment returns.  Your mission is to show people how they can take control, and stay in control of their financial lives.  Until you truly believe what you do matters, and until people believe that you believe, you'll have a tough time achieving the sales success you desire!

Our Mission... is to help you to truly help families to spend, save, invest, insure and plan wisely for the future, to achieve financial independence, so you become the most recognized and sought after advisor in your community.

What training do you need?
To start off with there are no quick ways to achieve success in this, or any business.  There are no shortcuts!  You have to begin with the basics!  And, that means learning the basics about marketing, prospecting, setting appointments, sales skills, fact-finding, product benefits, tax laws and how to really help people.

  • If you are considering making a career change to insurance sales, then I highly recommend you learn everything you can about insurance marketing and sales before you leave your present job.  And, then work part-time and actually make some sales before you make your change.

  • If you are brand new and already working in insurance sales, and you haven't learned the basics, then I recommend you get with a career company for a couple of years to learn the products... Like Mass Mutual, Northwestern Mutual, The Guardian, New York Life, Met Life or Prudential.  And then read everything you can about marketing and sales. (Not just what these companies give you)

  • If you've been in the business for a while and you haven't mastered the basics, then start right now studying a minimum of an hour a day, each and everyday.  Listen to audios in your car.  Attend every industry course and training event you can find on marketing and sales.  And, start focusing on really helping people, instead of products, price and investment returns.
Where do you get the training?
Today, with the Internet it's much easier to find Articles, Books, Videos, Audios, and Training Courses from the foremost experts in our industry.  You can also ask the best producers in your area what books and whose newsletters they read?  What tapes do they listen to?  Look for the industry experts who have been successful working in your target market, and are focusing their message on really helping people…
  • Start by becoming a member of NAIFA… (National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors) NAIFA offers a local membership meeting each month, with guest speakers, CE Credits and an opportunity to meet with some of the most successful agents in your areawww.naifa.org/

  • I highly recommend you participate in the basic Financial Services Specialist (FSS) or the LUTCF designation from the American College.  (Associated with NAIFA)   Their courses are designed to provide insurance professionals with high-impact sales skills and introductory-level technical knowledge to help them get their careers off to a fast start.   www.theamericancollege.edu/subpage.php?pageId=249

  • Look at the agent support web sites for the insurance companies you are contracted with.  Many of them provide online basic training for products and sales ideas.

  • Take a personal tax preparation course from Jackson Hewitt or H&R Block.

  • Visit the Million Dollar Roundtable (MDRT) web site and invest in books, tapes and videos from the recognized Top Producers and Top Trainers in our industry.
    www.mdrt.org/

  • You should also obtain the accredited industry recognized RFC or RFA designation from the International Association of Registered Financial Consultants.  (You can earn the designation through the IARFC, or by attending one of the Insurance Pro Shop's live two day training events) www.iarfc.org/

  • And, become a member of the our private Insurance Marketing and Sales Resource Center for only $9.95 per month.  (It's a Mini Marketing and Sales University) www.insuranceproshop.com/insurancemarketing/insurancemarketing.html

  • Plus, we offer training audios, videos, e-books… along with specialized marketing and sales systems with personal coaching and mentoring.  And, we have a Discount Bookstore with a list of recommended books. 
You have the choice to be successful or unsuccessful.
You're the only one who sets the limits on your income and your success!  Your career in sales is a series of constant challenges.  You must use those challenges to motivate and excite you!  You must meet and beat those challenges to be successful in sales!

There are five basic challenges you face in sales:
  • Marketing / Prospecting

  • Making Contacts / Setting Appointments

  • Qualification / Fact Finding

  • Expert Knowledge / Overcoming Objections

  • Helping People / Closing Sales
Most agents spend the majority of their time learning how to meet and beat one or two of the above challenges, and neglect the others.  You will become a top salesperson - only if you continuously work on all five of the above challenges. 

A Little About Us
My son Jeremy and I have been training and coaching life insurance agents for over two decades.  For example: As a branch manager for Met Life, from 1989 to 1994, I hired 23 brand new agents.  Each of those agents started their careers by selling mortgage protection insurance.  Over 10 years later, 18 of those agents were still in this business and they were making well over $100,000 per year.  Today, many of them are making $200,000, $300,000 and much more.

Consider, according to
LIMRA, (Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association) the failure rate for new agents coming into this business is over 90% in the first 5 years.  I was able to achieve an 80% success rate.

Why Are These Agents Doing So Well?
First, we taught them how to get off to a quick start using 'Cutting-Edge' Prospecting and Appointment Setting Techniques.  They are in front of their IDEAL prospects everyday!  They are consistently in front of the people they have the best chance of selling!

Second, they learned how to consistently close 3-5 insurance sales each week by helping their prospects to 'Find the Money' to get the insurance they need.

What follows are two of the many proven resources we offer to help new and newer agents to succeed in this business.

"Thanks.  Further to my interesting conversation with Lew I would like to say how great your site is.  I purchased the mortgage insurance sales system which my sales guys have used and their production rose an average 40%!  This is my 36th year in the Life Assurance Business and I've not come across better.  With the help of your site, people can achieve goals.  I look forward to receiving the (FMM) Advanced Life Insurance Sales Kit.  I will keep you posted."

"Lew and Jeremy, Thanks for inviting me to attend your 'Found Money Management Training Boot Camp.'  For an accomplished producer, author and trainer in his 69th year to attend a boot camp of any kind may seem odd to those with a jaded outlook on living and learning.  I want them to know something they don't.  I learned and re-learned more in two days with you than I learned in almost 40 years of continuing education training and self-study.  You have put together the strongest and most straightforward marketing and sales training program I have ever experienced, and you deliver it impeccably.  I have already recommended this program to over two dozen of the largest producers in the country and will continue to promote it in any way I can.  If someone's aim is greatness in financial sales, he or she needs your training programs."

Endorsements From Respected and Trusted Industry Leaders

"Learning how to find quality prospects and convert them into quality clients is the lifeblood of any sales professional.  But marketing and selling Life Insurance and Annuities is an art in and of itself. I've been training and coaching sales professionals for years in marketing and selling insurance, but I've learned to stay away from trying to help improve the results of life and annuity professionals.  The skills and techniques needed to succeed in selling life insurance and annuities are unique to those industry specialties. 

Lew and Jeremy Nason... and their programs are right on the money.  Learning from people who are experts in the Life and Annuity fields is extremely valuable.  My advice is that if you are a Life Insurance professional or an Annuity professional, don't bother spending your time or money with anyone else.  Lew and Jeremy (and their programs at the Insurance Pro Shop) are the answer to your sales and marketing needs."
