Under Pressure
With the high pace world of insurance running me over, I find the pressure of it sometimes unbearable. To know I have to do this or I got to sell this much to be seen as an equal among my coworkers is complete bullshit to me. My boss was telling me about this 10 n 10 pin. I have to sell 10 life insurance policies in 10 days to receive this pin of honor. He then added that I didn’t want to be the only one in the office without it. Frankly, I don’t give a rat's ass. I am here to do a job to better people and their lives by selling quality and affordable insurance. I am not here to meet a quota or push lame products for crappy awards. If I sell enough insurance, if I am a high volume dealer, or if I am the best in the district then I get all these free vacations and trips...blah blah blah. I took this job way before I knew any of the perks of it. About two years ago I started an insurance program at central Georgia Tech. College for the sake of knowledge and understanding of what my sister and cousin were doing with their lives. I thought it might land me a career, but to be honest I have really fallen in love with insurance. After jumping through a few more GFB hoops I will be on my own to learn. I still have to go through P&C class 2, Life and Health School 1 & 2, and an insurance business class. The first three classes will be done ranging from next week to mid October. The insurance business class will be sometime next year. Plus I have to go to school for my 6 and 62 license as well. For of you out there that don’t know what that is, it’s a variable license so I can sell variable and annuity products. I will then go for my 7 as well, which I was explained will make me a licensed realtor or something. A lot of the guys where talking about it and it sounded good. After completing that, I am on my own with my learning. I plan to get my CLU (certified life underwriter) and with that I can take one more class and get my ChFC (Charted Financial Counselor). Then I plan on getting my CPCU (Certified Property and Casualty Underwriter) and LUTFC. With all those designations, I could become an Agency Manager somewhere if choose too, but that’s taking a break from learning...I think not. With all those I can then apply for a masters in insurance, and then I will go for my doctrine. You may be asking, why all the trouble? Because insurance is lustful women and your not man enough to satisfy her. Kidding, Kidding...but why would you just settle for chicken wings when you can get Steak and Lobster?
Dr. Goat...I like the sound of that. The only problem is that people with a doctrine in insurance don’t sell insurance. They usually teach it, which is a huge pay cut. I am going to say out there in the field and serve the people....
