Memorable Moment
I had a client that lost a small child to a rare blood disease. The client called me to thank me for recommending that he buy a $50,000 life policy a couple years earlier on his child. At the time he felt that no child needed that much. But after a year of travel and motel rooms and miscellaneous expenses around his child’s death, the $50,000 was a financial blessing to the family. It truly touched my heart that he would take the time to thank me.
Agency Success
My agency has been successful because I have put others’ needs in front of my own, maintained an honest practice and fulfilled all promises. I have always had the mentality that success is a journey not a destination, so I am trying to achieve success on a daily basis.
Career Choice
I chose American Family Insurance because they have consistently been very strong within the insurance industry, and they offered a great financial plan to help me get my agency started. I was able to start my own business without any cash up front, unlike almost all start up businesses and franchises, and they paid me until my business fully supported me.
