Quality Part Time Schedule • March 2011
Transition To Full-Time • Have a full-time, business owners mindset before you are actually full-time • Build an emergency fund • Ask your RVP to hold you accountable • Make the transition when you feel like your JOB is getting in the way of your business • Work your business like a job for a period of time after making the transition • How I made my decision
Initial Challenges • After averaging 4k part-time for 9 months, our last month part-time we only made $800 • My first month full-time, I spent 150+ hours studying for mortgage license, and the SMART Program ended the day I passed my final exam • There were a lot of reasons in November and December to doubt the decision to go full-time, but we had an overwhelming sense that we had done the right thing
Quality Full Time Schedule • January 2012
Hard Work Pays Off • After pushing through a tough first 2 months, our hard work paid off and we earned 43k of income as a Division/Regional Leader in the first 4 months of 2012! • Earned our RVP promotion within 6 months of making the decision to do so
Attendance • Personal and team • It’s a momentum business • Business is built by pushing from meeting to meeting • The meeting you don’t want to go to is the one you need the most • Make a personal commitment to growth • Big decisions are made at big events
Flipchart (Success System) • Duplicable system • Makes both the trainee and the client feel they can do it • Shows client concepts on the first appointment, creates a lot of value • Leads to many more referrals and independent field trainers • Ask the right questions at the end • Commitment • Fee for Service • The Opportunity
Four Objectives of the Kitchen Table Recruit the prospect Train the trainee (always travel double) Get referrals Make the sale
Partnership • A partner can take many forms • Spouse, parent, sibling, or teammate • Partners can take on different roles • Emotional support • Help with family and tasks around the home • Eventually may get involved with your business • Lindsey’s role changed drastically over three years, offering emotional support initially, growing to the point where now she is on appointments when needed • She recently officially retired from Teaching to join me full time in the business
Multiple Solutions • Buy term AND invest the difference • Do the whole job for the client • Life • Auto and home • Long-term care insurance • Investments • Other products • How can you help a client without properly identifying the need? (FNA) • Maximize your income opportunity • Construct a checklist for every client
Client Checklist • Areas of Excellence • Highlight areas they are doing well in • Build them up • Areas of Concern • Either areas they pointed out, or that you have identified through the FNA • Implementation • What steps should they take from here? • It’s our job to offer them hope, then give them a plan to reach their goals
Lead By Example • Personal production • 2-4 direct associates per month • $4-6k in personal life premium • $2-400k in personal securities • There are things about your business that you don’t need to talk about • Stop focusing on survival and stay uncomfortable
Prospecting • Warm market • Referrals from existing clients • Potential clients • Potential associates • Success Now System • Community events • Cold prospecting • Whatever it takes • Always have massive numbers of people to call
Cold Prospecting • This is an unbelievable tool for the right person and a skill worth pursuing • However, the Law of the Field • Most people will not do this, therefore it is not duplicable • Will intimidate most people • Easy Primerica vs. Hard Primerica • Art Williams built the company to be a warm market company
Tips on Prospecting The goal of prospecting is simply to create a contact It does not have to be overwhelming Whooty the Owl – “Who do you know?” “I’m a local business owner as well, and I was hoping we could get together for a few minutes so I could introduce myself”
Small Business Opportunity • The key to maximizing your opportunity with Primerica is your ability to create activity • Team building • Client building • Small business owners present an unbelievable opportunity to create activity, especially for someone who is full-time or looking to transition to full-time
Creating a Contact • Warm market • Cold calls from phone book • FNA’s/existing client base • Networking groups • Prospecting business owners you come in contact with
Making an RVP Run • Focus on Attendance – personal and team • Set goals with definitive size and timeframes • Be coachable and put a plan in action • Be confident and practice self-affirmation • Do not quit on yourself • Focus on building and developing a team, through recruiting and field training
Benefits of RVP • Create your own culture • Privilege of leading a team • RVP compensation • Unlimited income potential • Freedom • Ownership opportunity
Behave Yourself Into A Good Attitude • Strawberry Festival in Summer 2011 • The lesson is that you need to practice behaviors (doing) even if it seems to have no immediate impact on your business • Look at the difference that had for someone else’s life! • How many other families will be impacted over the next 20+ years?
The Law of Averages • Company #’s: 8x5x3x1 • 8 – Qualified KT’s set • 5 – FNA’s completed • 3 – Life closes • 1 – New associate • How many times do you have to work the cycle to hit your goals?
My Averages - 2012 • Personal FNA’s = 114 (9.5 per month) • Life cases / FNA = 75 / 114 = 66% • Life premium / FNA = • $89,954 / 114 = $789 • Securities / FNA = • $3,482,022 / 114 = $30,544 • QBI = 85.58% • Average income per FNA = $1,180.36
All Because of Hard Work • The person who gets in front of the most people is going to be rewarded
How I Approach a Week • Know what schedule needs to look like • Carry backs from previous week • Reschedules from previous week • Call leads during free time • Typically know what the next week will look like by Wednesday • Sunday evening, make calls with a purpose • Fill open time slots with other business essentials – study, prospect, paperwork • Other things will fill in as week progresses
What a Difference a Year Makes • November 2011 • $68,000 at a full-time JOB • $35,000 in part-time business • Division Leader • It was time to make a decision • December 2012 • All my efforts went into building OUR family business as an RVP • Still learning, making a lot of mistakes • Cash flowed $134,561 in first year full-time • Added over $100,000 in income again in our second year full time
