On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Derek Notman, Adam Holt and Dick Weber about changing the way we think about life insurance agent training, retention and compensation.
In this episode we discussed:
- Why life insurance agents struggle to succeed.
- The compensation structure is at the heart of the issue and needs to be revamped.
- Very few agents are taught to sell, rather than to service.
- Consumers need a fiduciary advisor to tell them what insurance they have.
- Advisors need to facilitate the conversation.
- We are in a people business and we need technology that facilitates great human connection.
