Insurance salesmen...

[Emmitt2222]

I'm one of them!

Today I just passed my life and health insurance tests respectively and am [temporarily] licensed to solicit, negotiate and effectuate with anyone I so desire about insurance.

Brag: I actually passed
Beat: I haven't slept in a good long while and look like crap.
Variance: I am so excited and still have 72mg of semi-crushed concerta running through my body that I won't be able to do anything but celebrate for awhile

You may now proceed to rip me a new one for taking on one of the worst professions known to man. Or if you are in insurance you can give me a few tips and then laugh at me knowing the torture I will soon endure with calling 250 old people a day.

Are you worried about how your family will provide for itself should you become sick or get hurt and are unable to work, or god forbid, you kill yourself because you are an insurance salesman?

On a scale of 1 to 10, my purchase of volcano insurance was like a 9, right?

Edit: Thanks for the pm but I in fact did not mean on the stupid scale. Sarcasm though, that's really classy.

Is it true that if I purchase said insurance and subsequently get hurt and miss work, it won't hurt to miss work?

Follow up question, is cash really as good as money?

I get dealt an 8 and K. Dealer has an Ace showing. Should I buy insurance?

First thing u need to to is to get all of your family on your insurance. Then u need to make sure u get your family to talk about how great their insurance is to other people. Kind of like a pyramid scheme but not really. I would go into further detail, but I choose not to.

This reminds me of the first time I thought about becoming an insurance salesman. I then went outside and ran full speed head-first into a brick wall, and smashed my face repeatedly into it. Kinda like you should have.

Unfortunately, if I have life insurance on myself I have to wait 2 full years before I can commit suicide or they will not pay the claim. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Also, everyone else, I will not be working for Aflac and their duck. That would be far too easy. I will almost exclusively be working with old people! I figure since I am young and stupidly optimistic and living at home, I am the perfect candidate for giving this a shot. The potential is huge, but most likely they will work me like a dog, chew me up and spit me out, all at little cost to themselves. Really there are almost no downsides [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Also, no need to buy volcano or blackjack insurance. I only sell Life and Health and I think it may be illegal to advise you on those. I can, however, sell you some mighty fine handsome cream.

if you are even halfway competent you'll be extremely successful...

most i've dealt with are semi-scammish idiots who can't follow up on anything they've said they will
