Millionaire Insurance Producer: Throwback: Sales is War!


Listen Later

None of the insurance carriers pay you a commission for coming in 2nd place. 1st Place is King. 2nd Place is for losers. Literally, not figuratively. The incumbent wants you to lose. The other competing agents want you to lose. Most of the time even your prospect wants you to lose. Therefore ... SALES IS WAR! 


In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht explains how to prepare a New Business Prospecting Strategy for 2023 that will help you to dominate and write up to 50% more commission in the year than you would have otherwise. *** And, he talks about the "DOMINATE 2023 WEBINAR" he's conducting on 12/16/22. 


Episode Highlights:

  • Charles explains that none of your insurance carriers pay commission for second place, only the incumbent agent gets paid. Everyone else loses because sales is war. (1:53)
  • Charles mentions that insurance agency owners can't have producers who don't produce. (3:42)
  • Charles believes that it is very difficult to achieve any goals as an agency owner if you do not have a plan or a strategy. (9:00)

  • Charles mentions that the goal of his "DOMINATE 2023 WEBINAR” is to teach people how to create a step-by-step process that will help them achieve up to 50% more commission written or earned rather than received in 2023. (15:05)
  • Charles discusses that in the "DOMINATE 2023 WEBINAR”, he will also teach how to put together the simplest differentiator service that you can offer to your prospects in return for their business. (19:11)

  • Key Quotes:

    • “None of your insurance carriers pay commission for second place. Only number one gets money, only number one gets to sit on the throne as an incumbent agent. Everybody else is a loser. Sales is war. And it's no different when it comes to insurance sales.” - Charles Specht 
    • “The whole strategy of selling insurance and quoting business, the way the industry is set up, you're expected to lose if you are an agent who is just competing, based upon how everything has always been done.” - Charles Specht 
    • “If you want to dominate 2023, you really have to get after it here in 2022. And by getting after, I mean, we start putting together a plan of attack for 2023. This is important because I know that those who have it tend to be successful, and those who don't are not successful.” - Charles Specht
