How to approach people about life insurance?

Selling Tips....

Hi Robert,

I stumbled upon your blog on line while researching information for funeral expense.  I, too, sell life insurance.  I have been at it for about 2 years now and was wondering if I could correspond with you?  I would like to gain some wisdom from you as to how to approach people about life insurance?  You have been very successful and that is important to me.  

My frustration with the American culture, unlike other cultures, is that many U.S. citizens do not place a high priority or value on the need for life insurance.  We live in a culture where many are distrusting, skeptical, and only interested in what is in it for them, so to speak.  Additionally, with the economy performing poorly, many feel they simple cannot afford “another bill”.  

Anyway, any assistance you are willing to offer would be greatly appreciated!

Warm regards,

Don (from US)

Hi Don,

Nice to know you through my post. Always feel free to pen your words here with me.

It might be difficult to write all about my selling skill but I would try my best to make you understand. 

Life insurance is a miracle product which could be sold in good time or bad time. I had gone through it for three decades and had never failed in the business. The simple reason is I love my job and I believe in it.

Many people sell life insurance because of the financial returns and usually these agents could not last very long. My hobby is talking & sharing, and selling life insurance allows me to talk and to share endlessly. And I'm sure it would keep me occupy until my last breath on earth.

My definition of Happiness is ... To help others succeed in life. And Thanks God! My hobby and career allow me to fulfill my dreams in all. 

I sincerely hope these little thoughts could enlighten your disturbed mind. 

Regards,

Robert Foo
