A beautiful comment I received......


The truth from another life insurance agent.....

Avtar had left a new comment on your post "The formula for staying longer in selling...." ( dated on 28 July 2011)

Dear Robert,

I'm very glad to have found your blog today. It's truly inspired me.....

I've been struggling to sell life insurance for a little over a year. Prior to joining Life Insurance industry, I was very successful in my previous career. I ran 3 companies with many people working for me. I assumed that if I was successful in business, I would be successful in selling Life Insurance. However, due to the downturn, I had to wrap up my businesses and here I enter Life Insurance business.....

I joined this business only for one reason. Because it paid a lot of $$$ Dollars $$$ (which was completely misleading). By looking at the top-producers of my company - the Million dollar submissions, month after month.

In the past, I've always served people and enjoyed doing it. All my previous jobs were in the service industry and I could not understand why I was failing at selling Life Insurance and not enjoying it. My perception was obviously very flawed!

But arriving at your blog and reading a little about you and your posts has truly been quite a game changer.

Thank you for all these wonderful posts, the wisdom, the inspiration, the guidance. One day I shall grow up to be like you.

Thank you again.

Kindest regards
