My First 30 Days As A New Life Insurance Agent (STORY TIME) 

Finally someone that starts with I have nothing to sell you and nothing to recruit you to. Mad respect bro

As someone who has sold for over 20 years and am just getting into insurance: kudos to you. You got strong fundamentals that I see even long time tenured sales people NOT have: mainly the fact of know your product so you can HELP people and that when you believe in it: it comes through!

Be aware of the MLMs out there that want you to focus on recruiting and also the contract rates with those agencies limit your potential income

I am going to be 63yrs in a few days. I have a full time job already. I am currently studying for my test. After I pass I do not plan on quitting my job right away. Thanks for the great information...Stay Safe...

This is one of the most genuine videos I’ve seen about starting out in this industry

I agree, I started with 2 different insurance companies but I couldn't get training, they just wanted me to recruit friends and family. Just like Peter said, I didn't want to start telling anyone anything until I knew what I was doing. My recruiter was persistent to just call anyone that I thought wanted "to help" me and he could do the work for me. But that wasn't going to help me or the client.

Hella respect man, I’m getting into Life Insurance field and it’s nerve racking but I’m really eager to invest my time and resources into my future

Maybe it’s me. But I didn’t hear any tangible information. Just a speech of opinion and encouragement.

I'm ready to blow up big time. I'm studying for my exam right now. I have years of experience closing on the phones and underwent High Ticket sales training earlier this summer. I can bang the phones all day long with zero complaining.

So true, learn the jargon, rebuttals, You have to master your approach and scripts, grind it out. I admire your persistent and yes there is more to it. It is harder when your starting out.

Man I can't believe you don't have more views on your videos. This is life changing info and I appreciate you man. Hopefully we can talk soon.

Peter, I always enjoy your content. I've been at it for about 16 month and sold exactly 1 policy. (IN HOME from Door knocking) I must admit I could have tried harder. It's just so confusing as a new agent if you don't have good upline support ( I didn't). In home or telesales? One call or appointment setting?Best leads? Best script? Best carriers? Products? Objections? E&O insurance ? All while keeping a "day job"...and kids...and naysayers and on and on. I agree with you that it is much more difficult than we are led to believe and that we need more honest discussions about the pitfalls involved in getting started. It's truly a business and not just a sales job. But still, I haven't found a better opportunity that comes anywhere close to this one. I finally have the time, money and office space to get back on the horse. But of course it happens to be the holidays..... Can you make a quick video about selling during the holidays? Pros and cons? Objection and rebuttals? Is it worth it or better to wait til after the new year ? Do most agents take the holidays off ? Does that create an opportunity for the Humble and Hungry? More leads in the CRM? Thanks. I hope to get to chat with you in Miami. Enjoy your holidays.

Mad respect my brother from another brother, keep up being honest with the people. Godbless

Thank you, I’m actually a single mom and I’m learning the hard way. Part-time at this insurance job. Still kept my old job. Which I have wonderful ppl, who understand my juggle with two jobs. Haven’t made sales, started last month 1/2 ago. Bought some learning book on how to make a sale. And when I started. I really didn’t know what I was selling. And stumbles on words what I’m selling. Everyone gives me I’m not interested and hang up before I can reflect it.

I’m starting to get my license in 30 days but no one told me that I would have to buy my own lead. I literally have $3 in my account.

Really appreciate you sharing your experience. Really enjoying your videos! Cheers.

You're very inspirational and helpful with your experience and information about the life insurance industry. I'm studying for my license, and I'm very similar to you in perspective. I know it’s gonna b very hard at first, but what isn't hard isn't worth it.

I have an interview for this position and I'm pretty scared , and if I get the job I have to make the sales face to face not only on calls

Hi Robert! How did you choose your niche? Why final expenses?! How did you arrived at that choice to be a final expenses specialist?! I’m a brand new license life agent and I’d like to choose a niche.

Thanks a bunch. Just got my license last week and will be starting with an agency (Great one I'm hoping). Hopefully I can change my life into helping people... ANNNDDD.... Making money ;-)

Appreciate your content 🔥 I just recently became accepted to be an insurance agent! It is definitely a different thing for me, but I was a porter/car photographer before! But, i want to be a sponge & be the best n make the most out of this opportunity! New subscriber as well!

where are based in bro? Canada? Good video, soon getting my license, watched this in time. Fingers crossed about the way ahead. No giving up.

No disrespect but what lead to your break through? What changed? What did you do differently? . Sorry love your video but I was hoping for just a bit more insight into your own personal experience ❤

Appreciate you admitting you lost 4k up front. That’s actually pretty cool of you. Most people wouldn’t be that transparent about the start up.

You bring a lot of value in your videos

Thank you Peter for this video. I'm just starting my career as insurance agent soon so I will keep an eye on your videos and hopefully will help with my new job. Keep us posted 💪👍🙏

Absolutely Fabulous Presentation My Brother 🎸 Thanks For This, And Continued Success To You And Yours...

the fact that you look like Tom Holland at the same time your name is Peter just scares me...

Great videos man. Glad to see a young man progressing.

Hi, I just got my License and I dont know where to go. I have been getting calls from different brokers. Should I go with a broker? Should I look to work with an specific company? Can you guide me?

What is a good company to sell part time and independently for when you’re just starting out? I don’t even really know any life insurance companies except like colonial penn and trustage and Aflac (not sure if Aflac even sells life)

So study what im selling Make a 1000 calls a week. Are these the tangible things to do, not just mindset?

So I have a question in usa and guy recruiting me i want more info he said be like 600 dollars to get all stuff done.

30 days! It’s been like 3 years trying to figure this out. I got caught up in the recruiting and no training.😢

What is a sign of a good agency? What do i ask abou? What are red flags other than high turnover? Etc

Big fan here. In the process of getting licensed. Was it only life your first 30days? Or Health as well?

So you made thousands of calls a week? Did you work with a company to acquire the leads? Or did you source them through fb

Just passed today, you mentoring?

Where do you get your leads?

what did u lose 4,000 dollars on? the leads?

I’d avoid taking advice from naturals like this. He’s literally telling you he made no money, followed by subtle flexing selling $400k in 6 months. Naturals have this business game on EASY MODE. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you. I'm a single mom, and I'm not ready to assume this much responsibility.

I'm coming into NYL from MoO I'm familiar with cold-calling on people so I'd actually prefer speaking to people face to face. I'm hoping that helps

Is this something I can do on as a side gig? I currently work in the IT and want to do this on the side.

Hardships come with anything worth it at the end of the tunnel! Only way out like you said is to quit!

hey Peter, how do you feel about Bankers Life Insurance Company? I am in the process of getting my license and they want to recruit me but I'm not sure if they are good or not

Did you say you lost 4k in the 1st month? Hmmm I’m calling BS on this video. Hopefully I’m wrong.

I’m taking my test tomorrow

What you will learn in this video. The first 30 days are hard.--- I just saved you 10 minutes

Hey love your videos!! I I just got my license!! I want to get started like you. What imo or how can I contract carrier?? What do you use?? Thank you!!

Is cold calling essential?

dang, i just finished the course

Happy thanksgiving

Thank you for sharing this Peter

Thank you for the honesty

You spent 4,000 on leads for month with no sales😮 look like It's not for poor people.

thank you for your honesty!

That hairline thoooo 😅😅 great content tho, thank you!

Shout out to your dad champ!!

I’m studying for my license rn while im in college. The funny thing is that im more excited about the license over the degree. Im working hard to get my license within the next 3 months (I finish school in May). After that it’s part time (build) then all in. No more bosses, only wealth for my family. Trust you will hear from me soon brother, and thanks for all you’re doing to reach out and guide people like me. I’m truly great full for it and I know others feel the same. Btw I have a RU-vid channel NTP Podcast, so that way you can keep me accountable. I’ll put all the pressure on myself

I'm literally a single mom that's in college, that just jumped into this with no savings 😩

Not everyone can afford to lose 4000 tho

Do you do mentorship?

What’s a good company to work for as a newbie please I don’t want to become a required I just want a company that will teach me to sell

For real.. your interview with a broker should be them selling how they are going to help YOU succeed. Especially if you are 1099. I was in Medicare, I did decently but it’s seasonal so I am switching to something year round. When I met with this broker face to face he was all about what they do to set ME up. Do not sign with anyone who is looking for a seat warmer, or who hands you a script and says “good luck”.

Yes, keeping it real.

Peter THANK YOU!!!!!

I’m doing my schooling now

Thanks, man.

Thank you ❤🙏🙏🙏

Is there a way I can start under you??

what exactly was your breakthrough moment?

Sounds a little sketchy I couldn't watch your whole video because I actually don't believe what you're saying what company do you work with that sounds like a pyramid scheme are you keeping track of your numbers if you're working for a company and you shouldn't be buying the leads you should be giving the leads this doesn't really make sense to me.

New York life is one step off from being an MLM

99% true

This guy is gonna make me end it all... All what he is saying is repeated lol..

To lose 4K at first is crazy

How did you make $10K a month before working as a life insurance agent?

So to sum up the video… a new employee with no experience has to work hard and then eventually you win??? lol struggle is real so lame

I’m in luck, my Gf’s dad is a branch manager and is going to hand me leads and clients 😎😎 $$$$ Ggs

All fluff no real information

You made 10-12 grand a month working for a tree company? I smell something . Smells like bullcrap. No 22 year old is making over 10 grand a year working for a tree company. Or quite because it's not enough money. SO your telling people you quite a 140,000 a year job at 22 because you seen a podcast. You are so full of crap dude.

Where did you buy your leads??
