Here's the secret to actually getting rich selling life insurance. The key is to build what is called a book of business and farm referrals from that. The richest people that I've met in the industry don't buy leads. This is coming from somebody who has a company that sells leads. Think about it like this. Your book of business AKA your clients are like a self sustaining farm that if you run correctly can feed you and your family for life. Leads are like the seeds that you need to get the farm started. You plant the crops, you harvest them and then you plant seeds again. And your ability to get referrals and manage the relationships with your clients are like your farmer skills. So basically you're going to start off buying leads to plant the seeds. You're going to master the art of building relationships and getting referrals. And once you have a big enough client base, you don't have to buy any more seeds. You just farm referrals off of the book. 100% profit, zero expenses.
