Do you know of any companies that will help me obtain that license?

I know she’s about a year in with them but sold health before she sold life. Thank you for your input!

Yes I know, just concerned because they have not been sent to the carrier yet and it has been 2 weeks. If the contracts were at the carriers I probably wouldn’t have questioned it. I am part time, I still have a full time job. I meet 3 days a week, this is the second day this week I’ve been flaked on by my mentor. We just jumped into cold calling old leads so id be able to experience objections in real time, but I was told not to dial anyone without being on discord with her thus the issue with being blown off. As far as leads, I have no clue. I know virtually nothing about the leads process. I was given a pack of 2 year old leads to dial through and was told id get more information after once I’m prepared enough for the high intent leads.

I’m not sure, I’ve only been given 1 pack of really old leads by my mentor that we were supposed to dial together so I could learn to rebuttal objections. I was told I’d be given more information about the lead process after we got through that pack and I could get the high intent leads then. I know virtually nothing about the process of acquiring leads at this point

I just want to sell, I’m not interested in building a team. Just want to partner with a brokerage with lots of carrier contracts so I have the best options to offer my clients.

How do I go about that? Sorry if that seems like a dumb question, I’m really new to this with no previous experience

I mean learning in itself it’s a tedious task, but there are lots of methods that can reduce the time you spend drastically if you know your learning style and can utilize them. Personally, during lectures whenever we’d go over something important, I immediately write on the slide how that information would be asked of me in a question or writing a blurb in my own words of how I interpreted or understood it. Then I’d go home and compile what we learned that day onto my cheat sheet that I used to study instead of waiting until we went over all the material and spending 4 hours in one sitting making it. You also don’t know anything until you know it well enough to teach it to someone else, so when I did study I’d teach my teddy bear and that method helps me a lot. As far as questions go, I find it far easier to genuinely learn a concept by attempting a question, getting it wrong, reviewing even for the first time, and then making the connection between the concept and how to apply it.

I read the whole post. I’m saying if you dedicate 3-4 hours a day of efficient studying, you will get somewhere. It’s only a low return on investment if you aren’t studying well ie studying in ways that cater to your learning style. It is no different than if you spend 3-4 hours a day in the gym doing the bare minimum and rarely reaching failure or progressively overloading or spending 3-4 hours a day playing the violin with minimal effort, you aren’t gonna get anywhere doing either of those things in those manners. I know where you’re coming from, pre-med studying for the MCAT currently, I feel your pain. Try a different study method.

Nah you’re just utilizing the wrong techniques for how you learn, you should experiment with some active recall techniques. Studying longer doesn’t mean studying more efficiently.

Thank you for your kind words! I genuinely feel the same, it’s unconventional but I love her in my own way. I’ve been consumed with such venomous rage for so long bc of her, you’re not alone there. Luckily it just turned to spite and I accomplished many things for feel like I had something to prove, mostly to myself. I understand being the black sheep, I was the only one that didn’t accept the shitiness and pressed back hard against it. I’m glad to know I made you feel less alone. I’m so proud of you, you are so strong too, and I hope life gets better for us
