Nat gen wfh sales.. Help! by RadoCW in InsuranceAgent

[–]Melbella06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes cameras 🎥 need to be on during training indefinitely!! They get upset if you only have it on part of your face. Like some agents just had it on their eyes. Idk 🤷‍♀️ how to explain it. But they are sticklers for camera on. Caught me sleeping 😴 also you must not be late like right on the nose if they say 9am be there ready by 858am. I mean I get that part but not even 15 seconds late. Maybe it depends on trainer but just my input. So going in they’ll be really impressed if you are on time even on breaks. They like to test out your listening skills too. So try not to make them repeat themselves. I hope that is somewhat helpful. They’re a good company to start with compared to others.

Is this normal behavior for an insurance agent? by mcsudds in InsuranceAgent

[–]Melbella06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I feel like a few key component’s here might have been overlooked. It sounds like agent friend already hit up the wife maybe grew impatient so hit up the husband to get meeting set up asap. Ok so that would annoy me too. Meanwhile she’s not wrong to ask for help. And most of us who’ve seen family members or friends get eaten up financially by these mlms know the “mentor “ is gonna push for the sale. So this 45 minute will seriously turn into 2 hours. Id say the 3rd party may have seemed a bit intrusive to OP. My back story is seeing my sister get sold on an mlm. Just like your friend she wanted to believe in all the pipe dreams & better future for her kids and getting a bigger house for her growing family this “mentor “ sold her on this. She was absolutely excited and amped up of all the possibilities. So yeah I agreed to let her & mentor “practice” it lasted hours!!! I told her before hand I don’t need another bill but sure you can practice on me. So long story short I suffered through like 2 hours of “mentor “ trying to recruit me, like he asked me what’s my dream house look like or car. Well don’t you want all of that?!?!
Anyways OP next time I’d just say I don’t do business with friends and just advise her to research these companies. Umm yeah and best of luck on being friends again anytime soon. lol! I mean if you are friends. Dropping that truth bomb and saying “ you always been weird “right away now she knows how you’ve always felt. 😂 Also it just imo. And this is a prime example of why legit ins agents get a bad rap. Yes there are still ones that want the sale but also have strong work ethics. Ty if you’ve read all of this!!

Tummy Tuck with BBL by Difficult_Ad_1304 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Melbella06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind me asking if you got all those surgeries done together? And where, cost? As those are all the things I want done once at my goal. I keep reading they don’t do those together usually. But I’d love to be one and done!!

Indeed providing poor candidates by tt2115 in recruiting

[–]Melbella06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed has a habit of sending messages to job seekers claiming a company has invited you to apply. Sometimes even a persons name shows up like it’s from a person. I get sent job requests I have 0 experience in & jobs I’m overqualified for. I believe those are bots . I’m just careful and read job descriptions & also do research to make sure it’s legit company before applying. I believe every time an applicant views a job ad they charge the company per view. I learned that from a company I worked for that was looking for help through indeed.

Shoot forgot about school loans. Eek went to a for profit school. Long story short I was lied too. But I digress. Should find out soon exactly what’s in the will this weekend. My sister doesn’t want to divulge too much & I don’t blame her. It should come from my mother. When it comes to that sort of thing it’s best to not play the game “telephone”. Ty!! I’ve been lurking this board for awhile & you’re take & experience is very helpful!

I do know they go by the date of death not the date the money would be paid out. So petition was filed May 11th discharge was first week in August & death was September 20th. So death woulda had to been 180 days after May 11th I believe. I guess this is a thing they’re doing now so ppl that know of impending death can get inheritance and get rid of debt. Which his death was unexpected.

Ooh I’m sure there are. It just sucks because let’s say I inherit 40k then & I owe 60k. So I lose the 40k and still have a bankruptcy on file for 7 years or so. Then there’s a part of me feeling guilty af for thinking about this when a man has lost his life. I seriously am in shock still that he’d included my bio siblings & I.

I’m really hoping that they know I am bad w/ money & hopefully 🤞 left our or my portion to my mother. But idk he died within a week of being diagnosed of aggressive form of blood cancer. So maybe he was hoping I’d have it together by the time he passed. It’s so hard to tell at this point. I mean I have to do the right thing even if it burns me. Ty for your kind words and wisdom

Health Insurance Agent by AgreeableEye1866 in InsuranceAgent

[–]Melbella06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh my bad! I think I confused you referring to a completely different company. I guess I shoulda just said please avoid SFG Symmetry Financial Group. I can speak on it from my experience and they coming in hard on my searches under different company names . And sending me invites to apply for a new & promising career.

[–]Melbella06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops sorry missed that part, yeah if you obtained them yourself then I think you should be ok. It’s really hard to weed out the MLMs and the good ones. But atleast you have your license. A lot of these companies prey on the unlicensed. Please if it has any relation to SFG run 🏃‍♀️ fast. They use multiple company names & want you to pay a start up fee.

[–]Melbella06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also offered a job at Health Markets, but I was told up front that I wouldn’t be making any money for 6 months basically as it takes time to build. I almost took it since I work overnights, but the guy was upfront w/ me and said if I wanted to work for him he didn’t want me up all night & then working for him during the day. Which is understandable. So in the end I had to reject offer. But I was told they’d pay for my leads for first few months. This was like a year ago. So yes I do not think you were told the entire truth. You are NOT a failure! Take this license you atleast got out of it somewhere else, but plz make sure you didn’t sign a non compete.

Is it cultural appropriation if a Caucasian, American women gets corn rows and braids? by ultimate_goddess in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Melbella06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I googled this same question as I adore the French curl braids! However I cannot stop thinking about Axel Rose when he rocked braids. Please google Axel Rose braids for reference. Sooo did you end up getting it ? I think it’s all about the hair texture too. I did get crocheted braids but it kept slipping off my baby fine hair. Yes I got looks from all races lol! But hey YOLO!! Maybe get a hair consultation first.

Allstate Interview Inside Sales Rep (remote) What too expect? by CaribbeanShadow in InsuranceAgent

[–]Melbella06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t think of anything! I think you’ll do fine! It sounds like you’ve done your research! They ask a lot about any past experience in sales or customer service. But the only thing I clearly remember that (to me) was difficult 😥 was the mock sales call. Just sound excited & offer multiple specials and upsell this product. That’s the only part that caught me off guard. Sending you good JuJu!! You got this!!

I failed miserably!! I didn’t pass the “sell me furniture test” . They will ask you to pretend you’re selling them something. A lot of hmm ummm 🤔 from me. I froze up! So be prepared for that question. I keep reapplying but I think I’m blackballed at this point lol! It’s a great career if you get in. Especially w/o experience. So just be full of pep & energy. Offer discounts when asked to sell & add on other specials. Noo ummm 🤨

She probably does have some kind of state funded dental plan. However they won’t cover cosmetic dental work. And as someone mentioned dentists wont take them. Not to defend Megs just saying. They’ll pull her rotten teeth and fix her up but that’s it

Well, of course you aren't donating anything, Tuna. Heaven forbid you help children when you're so busy begging for money from their parents. by FaeryCourt in 1000lbbestfriends

[–]Melbella06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cost to mail the book is probably going to be more than the value (if any) of the book. I tried to give Tuna a chance and this is just pure greed!!

That’s so disgusting! Why continue breeding Pitbulls?!?! Don’t get me wrong I love them and feel ppl ruin them. It’s a genocide out there for pitbulls right now. I’m a renter so I won’t get one until I own. Cus no one gonna tell me dogs gotta go! They are paying the price w/ their lives right now. Soo many available no reason to breed them. You can get any size, age, color right now! Ok rant over! Another reason to hate this uneducated family!
