life insurance
I’ve been in the life insurance industry for 5 months now and I am losing faith. My first two months I killed it, I did $7k in commission both months working just a few hours a day after my full time job. I had no prior sales experience, I didn’t have much knowledge about what I was selling and I was still overcoming social anxiety. After 2 months part time I quit my full time job and went full time with life insurance. My first 3 weeks I was still on free leads and I didn’t sell anything. My fourth week my up-line started a campaign for me for free and I finally sold a few policies. After about 3 weeks on this campaign I had made a few sales each week so I started taking over paying for them. I added up my sales for last month and this month and for the 2 months I have done $10k in commission and spent $5k on leads. I feel so discouraged. I have worked so hard for this and I have come so far, my social skills have majorly improved, I know a ton about the policies I sell and I am a hard worker and yet some how my sales are not matching my skill level. I’ve talked to my up-line about it many times and he’s at a loss as well as to why i’m not selling more. My upline as a person and salesman is great and I have a lot of loyalty to him but I don’t understand why I’m not improving and I can’t seem to get any clear answers from anyone as to what I need to do differently. Anyone have any advice?
