Dear Salesperson, Are you like most people in sales looking down the road and wondering when and how you are ever going to retire? Most Americans, let alone sales people put enough away during their careers to enjoy a comfortable retirement.
However, it is even more critical for self employed individuals like salespeople to put extra aside for retirement.
We do not have the luxury of a company provided pension or employer sponsored plan to help out.
Social Security doesn't appear to be a reliable long term source we can count on either.
In Insurance sales, many agents count on their renewals from their previously sold cases to significantly help out with their retirement.
But the reality is they won't last long once you're not servicing your client base any longer.
What I have observed and learned over the years is that the most affluent Americans that have a significant amount of retirement income security and wealth are ones that have built businesses that continue to thrive into their retirement years.
Some have sold their businesses and live very well off the money they have received from them.
Others have sons and daughters that have taken them over when they retired.
They continue to receive significant monthly income from the business.
Building a thriving business to me has always been my personal American Dream! Being my own boss, steering my own ship if you will, not having someone put limits on my yearly income potential, and so on.
After nine years selling insurance with a captive company, I decided to move in a direction of making my personal American Dream come true! I left the captive company I was working for, opened up my own Insurance Marketing Agency and began hiring and teaching others to sell insurance for a living.
What I quickly learned was that in personal sales alone you are limited to how large you can build your business.
There are only so many hours in a week to make sales.
However, when you bring others into your business and teach them to do what you do.
You are able to leverage your time and income off the efforts of others.
And the real cool thing is there is no limit on the amount of people you can introduce to your business and income opportunity.
I have always said that when you're in personal sales only, you're just "doing a business.
" But when you're hiring or sponsoring other agents your "building a business.
" After enjoying many years of successful growth in my Insurance Marketing business, I partnered up with an Individual who had also enjoyed many years of success in his own Insurance Marketing business.
Our goal was to develop a system that gives anyone who enjoys sales and has a desire to build a large multi-state Insurance Marketing business the opportunity to do what we had done but in a much shorter time frame.
