I resigned from New York Life and am looking for a regular 9 to 5 type job now. I tried insurance and financial services and was not good at it. I think people just don't have money nor interest in it. I had some of my 'warm market' hang up the phone on me and yell at me, believe it or not. I had one person stating that I was too pushy! Yes, you know who you are. I was just following what I was taught. What a joke. People will associate with you for years, and you mention to them that you can offer them insurance and they act like you have the plague. Sorry, but it is a Necessary item that you SHOULD have.
But I won't be the one twisting your arm about it. Far be it from me to be offensive to anyone to get them to part with their money when they would rather spend that money on lipstick, shoes, and comic books. Oh well.
Now like I said I am looking for something else that will help us pay the bills. Probably have to downgrade quite a bit though. Not that I was making any money before anyways.
