This content was created by John Wetmore. This content was uploaded by John Wetmore. This is a YouTube video titled "My First Day Selling Insurance Was Almost My Last" (created 2024-02-19T18:00:27Z). It is a first-person testimonial/interview clip in which a single speaker (affiliated with FFL) recounts their early experience entering the insurance industry—describing a discouraging first day of cold calls that led them to quit, a two-year break from insurance, and a slower multi-year path to getting licensed (tried in 2008, licensed in 2010, first booked appointment in 2012). The clip appears to be part of a short interview requested by "Mark's team."

I really enjoy doing this. I've been with FFL since the very beginning and I love giving back. Mark's team tracked me down and they were like, hey, can you do a quick little interview? And they said, do you remember your first day in insurance? Yes, because my first day was also almost my last day because I quit that day too. I went and I made 30 or 40 dials. I got yelled at and hung up on and I quit. And I didn't come back into insurance for 2 years after that. My world in this business changed almost overnight. I actually tried to get in the business in '08. I didn't get my license till 2010. I didn't book my first appointment till 2012. So if some of y'all are slow, I feel your pain.
