These appointments are good, but there is an additional follow up question that I would believe needs to be asked to ensure the actual appointment is able to be closed. An additional question I would ask is, "besides yourself, is there anybody else that needs to hear and see the information when I arrive? If so, will they be there, too?"
Yes. You want all of the decision makers present. A husband may be the prime decision maker, but he will require input from his significant other... Your statement is on point.
I think its great that you show the calls where they hang up, so agents know even the best in the industry deal with the same obstacles on the phones. Nice job!
Yes I agree! I think it's wonderful that he shows both the good and bad calls. The thing is, I don't know why people even bother inquiring about insurance if they are just gonna blow off agents who call them. Why even fill out a quote page if you're not interested? If you put in your phone number or email, you should expect to be contacted.
Great content. I got my insurance license in 1989 under New York Life. Had zero experience before that. They have exceptional training classes and they prepare you intellectually with the knowledge but reality hits you straight in the face when you’re thrown out to the field. Knowledge is great but it damn sure doesn’t get appointments. 😂 The best advice I have is FORCE YOURSELF TO MAKE CALLS NO MATTER WHAT. If you embarrass yourself or get your feelings hurt take a breath and laugh it off. Insurance sales are definitely a humbling experience and it will only strengthen you. I don’t know of 1 agent that hasn’t struggled at some point in their carrier. Not 1. Here’s the kicker, I got out of the business in 2000 to go into my family’s restaurant business. Had a great time in the food industry until Covid hit. I recently got my insurance license again and started up 2 months ago. I find that it’s harder now than it was 30 years ago. Nobody answers the phone and have been called a bazillion times. It’s funny, even having prior training and experience I feel like a newbie all over again. Cody, your videos have really helped me press forward. I’m in the process of toughening up my skin to prepare for battle with leads. I know it’s a mind game and I just tell myself im going to win. Thanks again for helping. Joe
Good point Joe. I just got my license a couple weeks ago and wow dialing sure does humble a guy. Just trying to stay motivated after some of that lol! I have to remember it's nothing personal at that point in time
Hi. It’s been two years since this comments. How are you doing now? Did you start off in telesales in 2000 or door to door? I’m with Aflac after passing my prelicensing course and was kinda thrown into the field I feel on my first day. I’m a self starter and have been learning on TH-cam a lot even before I joined them though, and I want to be in this business long term, coming from a long background in transportation, copywriting and voiceover.
I have so much respect and gratitude for you doing dials live. So many successful agents don’t like doing the dirty work no one likes where others can see and watch. Thank you so much!!
One mind hack that I was able to implement was the perception of “more quotes = more sales”. By default, if you have the ability to get your client through the quoting process, naturally you will close more… even if you’re the worst closer in the world! Realizing it’s a numbers game is a big step in the right direction!
Cody does the #1 move for successful sales over the phone: he smiles. Thank you so much for the advice! I'm a new agent in Texas and am a little nervous about diving headfirst into the MediGap industry. Your videos have been a staple in my education, and this video epitomizes that! Thanks again Cody and keep up the energy!
13:14 I like seeing this part. Is great to see others feeling the same way I have felt but actually pushing through not letting that keep you from calling.
Now Words the Poet! You know he ain't gonna tell you who his lead provider is. How will he make money selling leads if he tells you who his lead contact is? 😂😂😂
if this sounds hard to you guys, imagine applying to tens to hundreds of jobs with resumes and get to the final round of interview and finally don't get it. Mind as well do life insurance.
Anybody can sell life insurance with the right mindset, training, and resources! Thanks for the comment. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help 🙏
I agree. Adversity happens in any career, no matter what you do. Not every call you make is gonna become a client. Not every interview you go on is going to turn into a job offer. Or you may work with a company for 5-10 years and then end up getting fired. There is so much uncertainty in career and finance. That is why you must always have a backup plan and keep yourself on the go. Even when you are happy with a job, always keep your resume and LinkedIn up to date. NEVER stop networking!
Thanks! I just joined this world after 50 years working for other people’s dreams. I love the way you help by providing necessary contents for new and seasoned producers. Keep pushing. I wish I could show more appreciation, but I’m not making any income yet. See you on the other side ✊🏾
That's what I'm wondering. There are so many rules to advertising, but I see ads on facebook about insurance brokers generating leads, and then I look to the comments and likes, and there can sometimes be hundreds of people there requesting the information. This is how I want to set up my social media and ads too.
I'm new to the sales world and this is my first week calling insurance leads. It's all about making sure the customer feels comfortable in the first moments of the call and not sounding robotic lol. It's a little daunting and scary but I'm hoping I'll get much better with time.
Im glad i watched this. This past week was my first week making calls and i can see i naturally already have some of these skills in me with absolutely no training and im a rookie in insurance. This means we all can do this. I feel even more confident now thanks cody!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTENT. AS A NEW AGENT WHO STRUGGLES GETTING ON THE PHONE SOMETIMES I LIKE SEEING SOMEONE AS SUCCESSFUL AS YOU GO THROUGH THE SAME STRUGGLES.
Excellent! I've seen you with Nate A from Dallas and really appreciate your content here showing an actual dial session for us to listen to you and the lead. Well done!
Cody came back to watch your live dial session again, which keeps the visual real for me with an individual in the business for a period of time still gets the hang ups and the brush off on the phone. Thanks again for you training!!
I really like this video. I watch a lot of training videos on calls and also phone objections. but it’s good to see one live in action. Just had my first dial day and I’m pretty down about the results so far.
I have a interview for FFL ( First Family Life ) and I’m so glad you posted this video to show HOW it is & WHAT you’ll be doing. Those pie charts & graphs make it seem hard but you made it so easy for not just me but others who are looking to join in this career.
Great job Cody! A tip I learned from Grant Cardone is to ask them if they are talking on their cell phone right now. If they are say “Hey I’m gonna text you some information right now”. Then text over the exact same thing you had them right down on paper. Then say “Did you get that text?” The closing ratio statistically increases by 300% when you do this.
I love the practical examples and practicing what you preach. What do you do differently in setting a follow up phone appointment? Do you use different verbiage than “dropping the information off”? Also, do people ever respond negatively to the drop off expectation turning into a presentation/sale?
I have private webinars and programs where I go more into that type of training. Reach out to my office if you're interested in hearing more about that! 833-402-4368. Thanks for watching!
I do offer lead generation consulting so I can show you exactly how we generate leads in the US and you can do the same for yourself in Jamaica. If you're interested, give my office a call at 833-402-4368 or visit my website www.CodyAskins.com
This was/is a great training video. I am grateful that you took the time to educate us all. How does setting the appointment work if you are working virtual? Again, thank you.
I glad that I could help! Feel free to set up a call with us to get some more answers! Here's the link: meetings.hubspot.com/cody-askins/general-discovery
To be honest regardless of the fact the lady dropped the call , it’s a realistic situation! It happens. I’ve had it plenty of times and I’ll just be like damn .... recuperate..... “moving on” 😂
Most often, they never remember that's all I'm there to do or go along with what it is I'm doing. It's VERY rare they ask me to just hand over the info. If they do, I sometimes have a brochure I can give them but I still try to get in the door any way I can.
Hell yes Cody! I'm glad I watched you and came across your vidoe. This will be my first week dialing and I don't have a freaking clue how to handle these leads professionally- aside from using my objection scripts. Thank you for being a leader and showing us real and raw in Real life color how these calls actually go- not just coach about (talk about it)!!!! Good job! So natural! I'd like to know what leads you're buying how can I get those in particular... fb ads...;)
AWESOME and subscribed! I just got hired by a health and life company! My first day is tomorrow. I also started the online class and am studying for my health and life insurance license. I have a ton of experience in cold calling and sales,but none in the insurance biz. I hope my experience transfers over once I'm familiar with this product! Thanks for giving me the awesome preview in action!
I love that I got to hear the objections, it’s great that you sounded nervous and unsure at times, you seemed new and like you didn’t really know what you were doing or going to say BUT THE RESULTS LIT UP THE BOARD. I believe Success is structural and not personal, you stuck to your your success proven script and I seen live, that appointments were being set.
Final expense Information?? Facebook ad, fav color purple?? Can you please explain where the lead came from and what they thought they were responding to? Didn't really make any sense based on the questions you asked the second caller.
So what exactly are you dropping off on these "appointments"? Are you sitting down with these folks and going over the info they request when you stop by that first time or are you just handing them something and heading out shortly thereafter and calling them again to book a sit? Because if you are sitting down with them the first time, it doesn't seem like they are aware of that so i'm just wondering how this works.
Awesome video! I happen to recruit & train people to enter this industry part time & potentially transition to full time. That phone can often feel like it weighs 1000 pounds. This is a great video I can share with them so that they can see EXACTLY how to handle apparent rejection. Shake it off & keep going! I love it! Great training!
This video was helpful for those making in home appointments, but it would be nice to have a similar video on calling to sell FE completely over the phone.
First week i got 5 appointments. I think I can do a million trillion times better and i started doing what you were doing naturally so my “supervisor” didnt like it bc i wasn’t following the lead verbatim.
I don't have a lot of knowledge of Trinidad, but my marketing company produces leads all over the world and would love to talk to you! Give us a call at 833-402-4368 and we can talk about your options!
Hello Cody, wow I am an licensed agent been in and out the industry and I am now ready to soar to 7 figures and build my retirement with residuals with a top notch fmo I love this live phone dialing method thank you 😊 good stuff I'm super excited to look into joining your agency/team
He said why in the video. It's to jog their memory because people are forgetful, so by asking, he forces them to think hard about it for a few seconds. Basically, to avoid him wasting time and money by getting porched.
99.9% of the time they completely forgot you were "dropping anything off". My main objective is to get into the home and run an appointment, but if you want to be safe and have a few documents or contact info with you, you can certainly do that as well. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Victor, I would love to have you in my new agent training class coming up on Feb 5th where I can address your questions about this directly. Here's the link to learn more: bit.ly/2Ms0dxK
Very assumptive. I like how you give them 2 options on days and times to make it their idea when they pick one. I prefer 100% telesales to speak to more people.
Nothing available to the public currently. But if you have banners around the table (you should) they need to stand out and convey the message that separates your business from others. And the people at your table need to have high energy.
It depends on which state or country you're currently working from but many agents have switched to telesales.. It definitely can be harder if you're not used to doing telesales. I have a program I started specifically for agents struggling during the pandemic to learn all the ins-and-outs of selling over the phone called the Telesales Mastery Membership.. give my office a call at 833-402-4368 if you'd like to learn more about it!
@@CodyAskins That is crazy!!! I've grown up here. I'll be sure to come out. I'm an FFl agent currently, but feel like I'm out on an island by myself since there aren't any offices or many agents around here.
Only thing I wonder is pulling the close off through zoom. I know one insurance company will let me close through zoom without meeting them face to face. Foresters would on mortgage leads. I wonder who else would and also on final expense insurance.
Thank you so much Cody!! All your videos are really helping me a lot, I may not be a underwriter license agent but this helps me to get any idea and lesson as an Appointment Setter! You are really doing a great job.
Normally I would leave a voicemail, but for the purpose of this video I just wanted to get on the phone with them... I have other videos where I explain how to leave a proper voicemail. Thanks for commenting!
Setting appointments is simple AF getting them to show or answer the phone is whole different beast
These appointments are good, but there is an additional follow up question that I would believe needs to be asked to ensure the actual appointment is able to be closed.
An additional question I would ask is, "besides yourself, is there anybody else that needs to hear and see the information when I arrive? If so, will they be there, too?"
You’re got a point.

Hey kim, are you looking for life insurance live transfers? We are specialized in live transfers and generating leads on life insurance
this was on a Sunday, what time do you think you were calling them?
Calling anytime between 9am-6pm is generally a good rule. I've found around 2pm works the best for me.
I love this, Cody you’re the man! 😁 The mobile insurance man is so underrated!
Thank you!
What happened to those $19 leads where the people hang up. Is it the agent loss?
hi Cody, this was so helpful. I can now set an appointment for final expense, thanks.
Is The Data more matters in Getting more Leads ? Im dialing in Medicare
Agree answer ask 12:05 12:07
Hey Cody, a question. Why do you have to ask for reason if they won't be going to the said appointment?
He said why in the video. It's to jog their memory because people are forgetful, so by asking, he forces them to think hard about it for a few seconds. Basically, to avoid him wasting time and money by getting porched.
When you say "drop off information" are you taking brochures with you ? Can you tell us a little about what you say when you see them in person?
99.9% of the time they completely forgot you were "dropping anything off". My main objective is to get into the home and run an appointment, but if you want to be safe and have a few documents or contact info with you, you can certainly do that as well. Thanks for the comment!
looking to buy leads from you soon, what do I do when I “drop off” the information?
Hey Victor, I would love to have you in my new agent training class coming up on Feb 5th where I can address your questions about this directly. Here's the link to learn more: bit.ly/2Ms0dxK
When you say “I’m assuming you remember that, right?” And they say no, how do you overcome that?
Cody what Lead Source are you using for final expense leads?
Secure Agent Marketing!
Very assumptive. I like how you give them 2 options on days and times to make it their idea when they pick one. I prefer 100% telesales to speak to more people.
Cody, what if their number is on a national do not call list. Then how would you manage?
Cody what do you think about Northstar for Telesales?
Cody can you another live call with selling over the phone as supposed to setting up an appointment?
I might be able to do that in the next few weeks.. thanks for the idea! 💪
Cody Askins Looking forward to it and thank you.
Ive got a dumb question; we always use the drop off/ deliver the packages but what are we leaving with them if they dont buy? Or even if they do buy?
You can bring a small info sheet or pamphlet. Just be sure to not give them information overload. Normally, they forget you ever said that.
do you sell leads? and if you do where?
Do you try to call the hangup back, or the lady who said it was a mistake? Or just let it go?
Any training or tip on table top event?how to attract people to your table
Nothing available to the public currently. But if you have banners around the table (you should) they need to stand out and convey the message that separates your business from others. And the people at your table need to have high energy.
You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for all you do.
How are you still able to sell insurance with Covid pandemic? Are agents doing it only from home and is it harder since you cant always meet f2f?
It depends on which state or country you're currently working from but many agents have switched to telesales.. It definitely can be harder if you're not used to doing telesales. I have a program I started specifically for agents struggling during the pandemic to learn all the ins-and-outs of selling over the phone called the Telesales Mastery Membership.. give my office a call at 833-402-4368 if you'd like to learn more about it!
Do you use your personal phone without an app? Or do you have a business phone and give out that number?
How do you deal with the inability to see people face to face?
Dude, are you in Springfield, Missouri????? I live here lol.
Yep! Come by the office sometime my man 💪
@@CodyAskins That is crazy!!! I've grown up here. I'll be sure to come out. I'm an FFl agent currently, but feel like I'm out on an island by myself since there aren't any offices or many agents around here.
great demonstration from the Ultimate Agent
Do you do virtual appointments or only in person?
Good stuff, Cody. Thanks for sharing. Do you leave voicemails?
Normally yes. Sometimes I'll call 3 times right in a row, and then leave a voicemail on the last call. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been getting hung up on and a lot of no’s I have been having a rough time.
Only thing I wonder is pulling the close off through zoom. I know one insurance company will let me close through zoom without meeting them face to face. Foresters would on mortgage leads. I wonder who else would and also on final expense insurance.
Thank you so much Cody!! All your videos are really helping me a lot, I may not be a underwriter license agent but this helps me to get any idea and lesson as an Appointment Setter! You are really doing a great job.
Is there a reason why you don't leave messages when they don't pick up?
Normally I would leave a voicemail, but for the purpose of this video I just wanted to get on the phone with them... I have other videos where I explain how to leave a proper voicemail. Thanks for commenting!
