In response to “The 100 Best Sales Ideas Ever“
Your composite of business ideas from everywhere and everyone couldn’t have been better! Superb! My idea: Keep adding benefits to your annuity presentation. We’ll handle attorney fees on your trust and get you a dog sitter. How about a pie from Marie’s and a complimentary book I wrote on “Getting What You Want Out of Life”… and on and on go the benefits. You end up selling a package of benefits and you have their gratitude … which is all worth it. I don’t really like to thank clients for their business; I know I’m doing it right when they are profusely thanking me.

In response to “Change creates opportunity“
At least once a week I see a client who has lost money in a 401(k). I cannot imagine having worked for 30 years and lost the money when I need it the most. I am a funeral insurance agent but I am learning more and more about IRAs, annuities, etc., I do not understand why 401(k)s don’t have minimum guarantees.
