Selling insurance is not a numbers game. Selling insurance is a relationship game. Prospecting is a numbers game. In other words, how many people are you actually contacting?” - Charles Specht “Always try and look at it from the perspective of how can I help this person? What can I say that's going to sort of flip the scenario here, so that I'm not merely somebody who's soliciting, but someone who's offering value.” - Charles Specht “As soon as they realize that this voice message is from an insurance agent, they stopped listening to you in the same way that a receptionist stopped listening.” - Charles Specht Resources Mentioned: Reach out to Charles Specht Permission Network Insurance Agency, Inc.
