If you want to take the emotion out of selling insurance, focus on your activity, not the results.
In this coaching monologue, Andy Neary observes that insurance producers often ride an emotional roller‑coaster, swinging between the high of landing a new account (AOR) and the low of questioning their ability to succeed. He argues that this volatility stems from measuring success solely by wins and new revenue. Neary proposes shifting the metric to the daily sales activities that generate those wins—calls, meetings, follow‑ups, prospecting, etc. He claims that this shift improves self‑esteem, builds consistency, and ultimately lets sales results take care of themselves. If results still lag, the activity data points to deeper problems such as targeting the wrong prospects or using the wrong messaging. The overall message is a practical, mindset‑focused strategy for insurance agents to reduce emotional swings and create sustainable performance.
