    I have been in the business since 1997. My mother has been in this business since 1980 and I have been around it for that time. My mom was my mentor. She is now a senior semi-retired. I hope to be as successful as my mom.

    I started in the financial services business with a national “wire house” in 2002 and spent the next three years apologizing to my wife for how little money I was making. In 2004 I was told by my broker/dealer that the defined benefit plan I was putting together for a client was no longer an option. I went home that night very discouraged and thought, “If I were independent I could offer this to my client.” Five years ago I resigned and started my own business. My client stayed with me and I did the deal. Three months later I got a check for $81,000 commission! My wife cried. I’m excited about 2010 and look forward to another great year and am very interested in the counsel I can receive from Insurance Mavericks.

    Hello Brett,

    Just ordered the Free Leads and I’m looking forward to getting the results that you and Ethan talked about. I have been in the P&C business for 20+ years. I owned my owned agency with one of the big three but was terminated 9/1/09 due to “lack of production”. However, I have no regrets because the company gave me the first opportunity to own my own business. I grew my agency from scratch to one of the top agencies for home insurance for three consecutive years. I also was a top life producer due to my HO production, sold a ton of mort. protection. But the company stop selling HO and there went my HO and life production. I love selling insurance! I have been interviewing and I now have a “great” chance of getting hired on with the #2 life insurance company. So, I purchased your system to help me get off to a great start in selling life insurance. I like the idea of niche marketing, this is how I built my agency. So, I look forward to great things with this system.

    Good day Brett!

    I’m Paul Dulanas, licensed underwriter of Health, Variable Universal Life, and Life Insurance in the Philippines. I’ts been a 2 months now since i engaged into this business. i definitely feel the same feelings you had when you where just starting out.

    i really feel sick whenever i do cold calls and prospects would just treat me like trash. i hate being treated such.

    i know that you are encouraging people like us to never resort into cold calls again but i just cant let go of it for the moment. i dont have capital yet to do the marketing thru mails.

    i’d really love to learn more from you and ethan!

    as of now, i just have 3 clients with a total of $1200 in premium. i definitely want to earn more than that! i badly need assistance.

    im just picking up things from your site that i could use here in the Philippine market. but the feelings, discouragements, agents approaches, prospects treatment towards our profession is just the same here.

    i badly need assistance! im so much willing to learn more from you!

    GOdbless you more!

    Thanks for sharing your stories.

    I understand what it’s like to be a beginner with no money. The truth is, being successful requires 2 things, 1- Learning the RIGHT information. and 2. IMPLEMENTING it.

    Here we hope to provide as much quality, real world training that you can get anywhere else in the world.

    Michelle; that’s pretty awesome that your mother was your mentor in the business. My dad owns a small business and I learned alot from him.

    Jerry- I’m with you…I LOVE selling. In fact that was my biggest challenge as an agent. I loved the thrill of the kill, then I moved on and never got the paperwork done right!

    My assistants hated me for it :)

    Bill- $81,000 check makes all the hard work worthwhile doesn’t it! Congrats on that, and lets get you a few more in 2010!

    After being an owner of a P/C brokerage I was force to sell it by larger broker in town as he got the insurance company to cancel me. I stay on with the buyer until he want me to earn him more money for this Kids that were coming in and want me to train the Brats. I told him to stuff it and left and waited two yrs and got 80% of my clients back with another firm. As we had a family member that need live in care we moved to another town and my clients stay with me eventhou I was 2 hours away (cell and emails work well. The firm I was with got a big buyer to buy the business and my clients also, so I decided to take a break as 30 yrs in the business. I was hired to manage a brokerage with a staff of 20 and it was short term as owner wanted my knowledge pass on to Daugther (22)so after 3 yrs I was back in sales as producer. Well I have found things changed knocking on doors (commercial insurance) made me feel like a beggar on the street, cold phone calls was not me. So I hired a Telemarketing company at a cost of $ 1700 for 12 appiontments - should have bought case of wine and drank instead. I have try wwww.talkfusion.com, unlockthegame.com If I add the cost it was over $ 5,000 and no sales. Should I spend more money?

    So my story is I started in the Financial Services industry
    about 6 years ago after trying a bunch of MLM companies and having limited sucess actually in many cases spending more than I was making and watching all the leaders buy new houses and new cars etc while we were struggling to get by and it was not until I became an independent General Agent that I started seeing substantial money coming in. Now that I have been independent for a just a short time I would like to have a system where by people who truly need my guidance and help are calling me and asking me when I have the time to meet with them. I have helped countless individuals and families to get back on track financially and am highly motivated to help many mnay more to do the same. I again would like a solid system that can bring the right kind of potential client to me so I know I am not wasting my time and so I can have an oportunity to have a large impact on their future as well as the childrens future and so on. I am looking forward to hearing from someone that can show me how to do this without a large upfront cost to me. Thanks Andrew Greenberg

    I like your approach to business. Life is too short to not be yourself. Your authenticity is what attracted me to buy your stuff.

    I’ve been selling insurance for 4 years now and each year my sales have grown very slowly. Although I believe I have as much (or more) talent and knowledge as some of the big producers in my agency, they are the only one’s who seem to be able to consistantly write big numbers every year. The rest of us are either tredding water or drowning.

    Nobody has been able to explain why this is. I think it comes down to their marketing compared to the rest of us or they just have a much wealthier and larger warm market to work from. But there is no way of knowing this for sure.

    However, if your marketing works as well for me as it did for you guys, I think I will finally have my answer.

    Thanks,
    John

    I’ve been in individual health for about 2 years and all I’ve managed to do was ‘get by’, and recently things have gotten worse than ever.

    Right now I’m 3 months behind on all my debt, living with family because I’m broke, 45 days behind on office rent (supposed to pay that today), and literally eating on less than $5 per day. Beans and rice, rice and beans - and lots of Ramen noodles.

    I am the ‘poster child’ for bad luck, hard times, and uncertain future.

    I’m tired and I’m broke - but I’m not broken, and I’m not going to take it anymore. I’ve been looking over your offer for a few days now, and I’m going to order it as soon as I’m done with this message.

    Save my post, send me emails to keep in touch, do whatever you need to do to monitor my progress. When I make this work I’ll be your number one fan and spokesperson.

    Thanks guys for the stories. Trust me, I know what it’s like to be in those frustrating times.

    The one thing I have found to keep me going through is my unconquerable determination to be successful.

    Accepting nothing but success from yourself gives you no option but to finally, at some point be successful.

    I’ve had the conversation with myself many times during difficulty, and it’s my belief and experience that determination finally wins the day.

    A great mentor of mine once said “We are long distance runners. Not sprinters in our quest for success.”

    That keeps me going when times get tough.

    Thanks again for sharing.
    Brett
