"Who
We Are" and "What We Do"
"The
insurance companies have created a "grid" to trap the market-place in
their "maze". Our responsibility is to direct the prospective clients "to
where they belong" or "to the right program, plan and
product."
Simply
said, we are educators NOT sales people. We educate the market place as the
"insurance companies" "public" and our "competition" have it WRONG.
So,
in educating our market places a "healthy obligation" is created between our
prospective clients and ourselves. We deliver an "education" that is
so desperately needed, and in turn the market place gives us their
business or as I we like to say, "They throw money at us" for a living.

Give
Give Give ... That is Who We Are
We feel there are
two types of people, "the giver" and "the taker". We are the supreme
"giver"!
"How can I
provide more value? How can I give to others, to my teammates, employees,
clients? What can I do to make it better?" Winners always give 10 times more
value than they ask for in return.
At our school you
learn ... "how to be a great giver" and to get paid well for being this
person!
Income
Everywhere We Turn
That is who we
are and what we do! You have the option to "earn" in one "vertical" or
"space" ... some or all of them. Income opportunities vary. My feeling is
that in time you should learn all of the "insurance businesses" so as the
"traffic" comes through the "door" you are able to slot the prospective client
into each or all insurance "verticals". Multiple income streams are the key
here. It is not easy to be "all things" to "all prospects" ... "all of the
time", BUT is sure is nice to have that option.
Recession
Proof
Yes our business
is recession proof. The market-place is "over-paying". "They have it wrong"
and we are here to educate, prescribe and write business ... a ton of
business! In other words "we are the get it right people".
So, while we
(very much) empathies that we are in a tough economy ... this tough economy
has created more business for us! Everyone from the individual to the
business owner MUST save money NOW! We are fortunate as we get the
opportunity to be "the hero" in the market-place and get paid so well for
doing it!
Teach
Me Back Method / "That is how I know you really have it"
How do I make
sure "you really have it"? How do we make sure the market-place does as well?
The answer is you "teach me back" and confirm the transformation is complete
... you have gone from "student to teacher". There are many teaching moments
while working with the prospect as opposed to many "selling" moments. You will
master these and create significant traction in your business by doing
this!
The
Money Making Gene
This is a
critical component to "what I do"! Many students come to me with this "gene"
in their "make-up", and some do not! I wear many "hats" here at The PJM School
LTD ... mentor, teacher, confidant, coach, friend and for some
students it seems more ... BUT I feel the most important "hat" is "how to earn
a fortune in residual income from your home-office". Execution is so vital to
your success, and wasting time is nowhere to be found on our "to do" lists. I
preach, teach and ultimately deliver THE "money making gene" that has
been THE key ingredient in my almost 20 year successful home-based residual
income career. So ... IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY MAKING GENE WHEN YOU COME
TO ME, I CAN ASSURE YOU ... YOU WILL NOT GRADUATE WITHOUT IT!
Psychology of
the Game / How to Succeed and Thrive
I feel it is NOT
just the teaching of the "nuts and bolts" of the business and
industry that make us or our school "special and unique" ... it is
also has to be the “psychology" of "how to work a home-based business"! I
have been home-based for almost 20 years and my students MUST learn how I do
it. The "psychology" of the marketplace, clients, prospective clients, the
carriers we do business with, the support people we work with, the day to
day handling of the business, the people skills, the dynamics of your skill
sets and how to build upon them and how the "work day" must be handled all
make up "how you succeed". There is a "mental" aspect to this and I "preach
and teach" this daily. We are not here to go through the "motions", but rather
we are here to "help" people OR serve the public. In return WE
receive a growing business that yields great rewards ... on so many
levels.
In addition I
teach how to see it coming from a "mile" away or what I can the
"soothsayer effect”, as this gives you an advantage others do not have. Almost
20 years working from home has brought me experience that MUST be shared with
you as I "fast forward" your career, and teach you the "psychology" of
the game! In a short few months I want you to "sound and appear" that you
have been "at it" for 20 years!
The
Anti-Insurance Company / "That is who we are"
We "love" and
clearly need the insurance companies for all they do ... BUT we also are the
people that expose the flaws in their system and specifically in their pricing
grids. So rather than "sell" all the virtues we are quick to "unmask" these
flaws AND the "flawed" issues in the overall market-place, which creates trust
and demand for YOUR services. If we only painted a "blue sky", we would be
seen or lumped in with our rather weak competition. When we "tell it like it
is", our personal stock with the prospect zooms north and we then get our
share of the deals!
Pyramid
of Knowledge / "Once you reach the top you are THE Teacher"
When a student
begins at our school they are at the bottom of the "educational pyramid". We
all know that at the bottom of a pyramid is the widest two points. As we move
up through the pyramid it becomes more "narrow", until we reach the top
where the two points have "intersected". Once you reach the top or the summit
you are "the teacher"! I do not overwhelm the prospects
with information or knowledge ... "it is the opposite"
... I teach the market place what they need to know, as they need to know
it, and as they peel back the "onion", you being that "onion". The
market-place learns your breadth of knowledge is astonishing! So
is what they are buying ... YOU and a long term relationship with you! I
see this as tremendous value for your client and many income dollars for
you.
Coiled
Spring Effect
This is what your
business should look and feel like ... "a coiled spring". We keep pounding in
the business prospects and like any "compactor" ... once full the business
springs out the other side. It is just like a "tennis ball" pulled down or
sub-merged in water ... the more you pull the tennis ball down the more in
surges back toward the surface once released. The key is working the numbers
and creating "The Coiled Spring Effect".
Bundled
Sales - We are a Virtual Insurance Store
We have a
"virtual insurance store". We drive "traffic" through our stores with a
variety of products. We have the luxury of bundling these products which
allows us increased commissions. My favorite is the Short Term Health bundled
with the Critical Illness program and the Simple Term Life Insurance program.
Two sales a day earns more than $500 a day. Strong producers write 5
deals a day and more. We strive for at least $1000 a day on this program and
it is rare we do not meet and exceed this goal.
By
Air, Land and Sea
Air, Land and Sea
is my teaching philosophy. My theory is (me and the PJM team), "hit
you from all directions" and in a short period of time your education "simply
put" just "sticks". You sound and operate as a top, top producer should. I am
available from 6:00AM until 10:00PM daily. We have multiple classes daily
and "each and every" class is labeled and recorded (so you can
listen to whenever you would like). The TOD or the "training of the day" goes
out each morning. The PJM library has all of the curriculum for your accessing
24 / 7. The PJM library material is written or in writing and
is also in audio to give you the option of reading, listening or
both. We have market and product specific teachers that are expert in their
field. I feel "no stone is left unturned" in our pursuit to "make" your
education simple and efficient. Our goal? How quickly can we get you in "the
chair" earning income? The answer? As quickly as you want to "move" or make it
happen. So, you learn with a "drip, drip, drip approach" as you wake up
one morning sooner than later and say, "golly, I can speak this business, just
as Drew said I would be able to" ... "great, I am ready to go".
The
Residual Effect
The word
"residual" applies to our business on several "fronts". Of course residual
income comes to mind first and foremost and clearly has all of our attention!
However one cannot lose site of the residual effect of "all we do" in our
business. "The" working with prospective clients creates a wonderful "residual
effect", as they "love" us for what we do for them, and more than any industry
I have been a part of in my career ... they refer deal after deal! It clearly
seems like every "move" we make creates another opportunity and our students
learn how in turn the "residual effect" kicks in! Health insurance leads to
life insurance which leads to property and casualty insurance and the "beat"
just keeps "beating on”! Individual insurance leads to group insurance which
leads to a "vice versa" effect ... which leads to "limited benefit" insurance
and the "beat" just keeps "beating on"! I think you get the point ...
everywhere you turn there are deals to be made, as the residual effect kicks
into high gear!
Store
Front Effect
I see our
businesses as a "store" or THE "insurance store" in my "mind’s eye". I see my
store broken into "sections" which are the many verticals or businesses we are
in, and the "aisles" which differentiate the carriers and programs. I love
being in the insurance business as I get to cater to the market-place
with so many opportunities that are in such great demand. I take my
"prospective clients" through my store ALL ON THE PHONE. I am a "retail
man" in a residual business. I get my "numbers" everyday, and then get paid
over and over for each day’s effort. So, in my "mind" I have a store, and in
my store I cater to the traffic. The great news is my store is down the hall
and around the corner from my bedroom. Not bad!
Time
Management - Time is money
This is an
important subject as it pertains to daily execution and maximizing
income. I teach this in detail because there is just so much opportunity
in the insurance field that it is critical the student manages their time
wisely or if we are not careful "the time will manage us", and cost us
valuable execution hours and ultimately income. Let me continue ... by saying;
Time management
is such an important aspect of what I teach. Time "not handled
correctly" can be our number one enemy. We are so busy managing our
businesses that is we are not careful "time" will slip away on the WRONG
priorities. I preach and teach that if we are not using your time correctly it
will cost you. For example one "lost" application per week amounts to $25,000
a year in lost income. Clearly this is not acceptable and "managing" your time
wisely MUST be taught by me, so you maximize your income and income streams!
How do I do this? The answer is "my many years of experience" are used as your
guide to "side-step" costly "time usage" mistakes. Until you "climb" the
ladder of success I am and must be adamant that "you do it my way" ... "if you
do not" ... what is the sense?
"Glue"
To Our Program - All classes are recorded for 24 / 7 availability
I feel the key to
our school's success is our daily classes. We have two ... one in the morning
and one in the late afternoon. The classes are attended by the student in
training and our alumni-graduates. I deliver a "performance" that is more than
just "nuts and bolts". It involves all of the elements that make us who we are
... THE EXPERT ... not "an expert"! My repetitious, preacher man approach has
served us well. Each class is very important to us, and to have
alumni-graduates who have been with us for years attend, even though they are
top top producers ... under-scores how they feel about
"coming back for more". All classes are recorded so if a student "misses" ...
not to worry ... it is available in the PJM library for 24 / 7
access!
Three
Fast Nickels are Better Than Two Slow Dimes
You will learn
what this means and how it applies to us. We "close our back door" as not to
allow business to "escape" OR to let competition to pick us off. "Margin" is
like a "tail of the kite" ... if the tail is too long or too short the kite
will not fly. While our average ticket is smaller, we write multiple deals a
day while our competition writes 3 deal a week. Like I said, "three fast
nickels are better than two slow dimes".
Good
Student and How to Be One
The key to being
a strong producer is simply "being a good student". I am proud to say since we
are selective and because we have a good process for student selection
... our students are just that ... "great students"! However, not every person
comes with the "good student skills" that I feel are important
for maximum growth. I identify the "weakness" and turn this weakness into
a "strength". No stone can be left unturned in "pursuit" of one’s success. The
"journey of success" is educational on many fronts. "Looking within" is
part of what we do. We must master our own "skill sets" and apply new ones to
reach the summit. Yes, financial reward is why most of us are here, of course,
BUT personal growth that comes with it MUST be important to us as well.
Success is a life changer, and our self perception is part of this "change".
The
Grid, How it works, Why it is Wrong, and How we use it
There are 1000
different "spots" or "places" a prospective client can enter "The Grid" as it
pertains to their policy within the insurance marketplace. Therefore I say all
day long, "I guarantee I can and will save you money" ... and I do!
Our students
learn where to "place" the prospective client. They "love" us for our ability
to "cut right to it" while saving them tens of thousands of dollars over the
months and years. We are the "great" prescriber and educator, NOT the great
salesman!
The
Maze
We use many
vocabulary words that are foreign to our competition and to our prospects. The
word "maze" applies as the insurance companies use their "grids" to trap the
prospects into over-paying. The insurance companies "grid and maze plan of
attack" does not work for us as we "use" them as an opportunity to
educate and prescribe. YES, we need the insurance companies as they are our
vehicle, and YES we love that their intention is to over-charge. This creates
tremendous opportunity for us. So once again we are the anti-insurance people.
The
Soothsayer
You learn how to
read minds (in theory). It is wonderful to be able to tell prospects "what
they are doing", "what the insurance companies are doing" and "why they are
all doing it", before it is told to you. This helps create trust and
confidence with the prospects as "we see it coming from a mile away". I
am told a number and then I can tell you "everything" you are doing "right and
wrong". Often the prospect says, "how did you know that"? I say, "that is what
I do", and again the trust factor goes "up and up".
By
The Math - "Trust the Math" not the "Hand-shake or Smile
We have created
and continue to create reason after reason that make us better than our
competition. It is a "blow out”! Our goal is to "win the battle before it is
fought"!
One of the key
components of our program is our "math" techniques that show the prospective
client that our program is a "no brainer" for them. They love us for teaching
them how to line their pocket, and not the insurance companies’ pockets! We
have ten plus simple ... very simple and basic math techniques that separate
us quickly and efficiently! Many times these techniques close the deal for us.
The
Spread and Tipping Points Equals Maximum ROI
You learn how the
insurance companies have merchandised their programs and plans. You learn
where the spreads are the most narrow or most wide. From here the "tipping
point" IS understood, and combined with the "circle of value" ...
"prescribing is "made easy"! The result? Maximum return on investment
for your beloved prospects and application after application for you! We have
"many" mantra's around here, and I feel this is a "good thing" ... as "we do
what we say", we have a language "all our own" and it would seem the
market-place "loves" us for it. So, I want to share one of these mantra's with
you now; "Mrs. Jones (prospect) the odds of you getting in right (plan and
premium) are about 500-1 (in most markets). This applies to what you are
doing now and what my competition says to do"! "Mrs. Jones a simple $100
monthly mistake in premium will cost you $40,000 over the years, OR 200 months
of insurance in your pocket (free)"!
Educate
& Prescribe Made Simple
While the
marketplace "sells" we "educate and prescribe". We are akin to a physician
going from "room to room" and spending different periods of time or increments
based on the prospective clients "circumstance". Our prospective clients feels
our passion toward educating them as opposed to a pressure environment often
created by our competition. We are so confident in our philosophies of
"educating and prescribing" as we work with the market-place, that
we feel the key to our success is only having to work with "the"
prospective client. We have that much "confidence" in our strategies. The more
people we work with the more business we write. We know we are the best at
what we do! It is not "bragging" when you have the results and track record we
have.
Building
Relationships Means Building Income Streams
I preach and
teach this mantra! Whether it is the prospective client, the client, the staff
at the insurance companies or you and me ... BUILDING relationships that are
strong ... "relationships" that will carry your business to greater and
greater heights. "It just can't be the right words and phrases" ... it has to
be the common denominator ... PEOPLE ... "how to win them over and how to
keep them for life"! As I say daily, "it is all about people"!
Intangible
and Tangible
There are two
areas of our business. Intangible and tangible. I want you to learn both and
impress upon you that each is equally important. The "intangible" falls into
the category of "words we use to describe or educate" and "tangible" falls
into the category of "products". At our school you learn them both.
Build
an Organization and the Organization Builds the Business
My first goal is
to turn you into THE expert, NOT "an" expert! Once this is accomplished ...
you then WILL "teach me back". I want you to learn how to build an
agency (optional). The benefit is there is so much business opportunity
everywhere you turn that it makes sense when you hit "critical mass" you
can also begin to grow the all important organization. This
helps grow and accelerate your businesses.
I was a "one man
band" for over two years at the beginning of my career, and at that point
it was clear to me if I wanted to continue to "grow" the way I had been I
would need some help. I have found that this "help" or my organization pays
for itself as it grows income without limit.
I teach my
student "all and then some" as it pertains to this important and lucrative
subject! "We build an organization and the organization builds the
business"!
Marketing
Clearly a
critical component for us. We are all about "systems” and you plugging into
these systems so you can focus on what you have been taught ... "how to drive
sales and build business"! My formula creates a "mix" of business coming in
from all angles. My feeling is the "broader" the net, the more sales that are
driven. We live in the world of "real time" and "exclusive" (leads), and while
I can't go over my "secrets" here ... I can say that I am never satisfied and
"making it (all) better for us is my passion". With that said ... "hand over
fist" is our mantra, and "honey we are going to need a bigger boat" is
the plan. I think you "get the picture".
Your
Are a Business Owner
We have methods
in place that sends THE "message" loud and clear who we are ... A BUSINESS
OWNER! You are the "power" and we create the psychology that the market-place
needs you, more than you need them. I say this "humbly" BUT it is true. One
client will NOT make or break you, BUT the education you deliver NOT heard and
understood by "any" single client will be costly for them.
Keeping
Premiums Down for Life
While the
marketplace is "screaming" ... "our premiums continue to go up and up", our
clients experience the opposite. We have formulas that show the prospective
client "there is no reason" for their premiums to go up over their lifetime as
our clients. You learn how to separate yourself in many ways and one way is
"screaming" to the marketplace a "relationship" with me means YOUR premiums
will stay flat or go lower. "Mrs. Jones there is just no good reason to
over-pay as in many ways while I love our insurance companies and our
relationships with them, I am the ANTI-INSURANCE agency that "puts a lid on
premium increases" ... "this will put thousands of dollars in your pocket over
the months and years"!
Value-House
Your
prospective
clients will say over and over ... "you are the cheapest" in town, and you
will reply ... "NO", I am the best value. Our students learn the tipping point
and circle of value OR how to maximize ROI for their clients. We feel
"three fast nickels are better than two slow dimes", so while the "other" guy
is writing three policies a week, we are writing three a day. Our pipelines
are "chuck" full and the prospective clients are coming out the other side
daily. Our biggest problem is "not enough time in the day", and "we may need a
bigger boat" ... good problems to have indeed!
Knowledge
is Power and Ignorance is Bliss and Yes, "I Trust You"
These words apply
to our industry (and what we do) more than any other words I can think
of! The marketplace needs us desperately as they do not have a "clue" what to
do and how to do it! We are the supreme educators and we create a healthy
environment of "obligation" after we "do our thing". Simply said, the
prospective client feels ... "the eagle has landed" and I have met my
insurance broker for life. They feel this "obligation" because you have
educated them in a no pressure setting that makes them feel empowered to
choose YOU because you did what the others have not ... "explained how it
all works ... "the why and the why nots" ... and "where they belong and why".
You showed them exactly why paying less is better. You use simple words and
techniques that do the opposite of our competition. While our competition
feels the need to overwhelm and confuse, we are so secure that we are "simple
Simon" as we take a confusing subject for the marketplace and make it an
"easy" to understand experience. The end result? "I am ready to go" ... spoken
by prospect after prospect! Finally we hear so often "I trust you" ... as this
is said within 10 minutes of the prospective client speaking with us. Why?
Because we are THAT good and THAT strong as it pertains to the education they
hear and ultimately receive. What they hear (the prospect) is so
different from the "rest" THAT we "stick out" in such a good way they
often say, "I trust you, let’s go"!
Swinging
Pendulum in the Market-place
This defines the
marketplace and our students learn how to covey this message. We "preach and
teach" "this" for a living and our audience "loves" us for it! Being a
"salesman" is OUT, and being the "great educator" is IN! "Mrs. Jones the one
constant is "change" and one of the benefits to a relationship with me and my
agency is that we "embrace" this change. The benefit to you is "staying on the
cutting edge"! That is why I represent all of the house-hold names. Last
year’s "hot" carrier may be this year’s "cold" carrier. So, "we are going to
move you Mrs. Jones” and your prospect loves you for this (Mrs. Jones), and
you love rolling back your commissions to year one. Win-Win!
Turning
Over-Priced Business Plans into Lucrative Individual Business
We thrive on
"picking off" the 200 million people who are on group health plans through
their employer. These plans are guarantee issue and the premiums are "over
priced" by the insurance companies (due to the guarantee issue aspect). Our
expertise "kicks in" here, as the employer, and his employees NEED an
education from us. We begin by GUARANTEEING the "market-place" that we
can save them over 50% in premium dollars. Without looking at a "shred" of
information that the employer will provide to you we make this bold guarantee.
This guarantee gets their attention, gets our foot in the door ... and is a
key income stream for us. You learn how to generate 25 individual applications
from one average over-priced group plan prospect. They "line up" for us. The
best part for our students is we have a system to generate call after call
after call. So, we love group business and have 200 million people to
educate nationwide. Keeps us pretty busy and thriving!
Create
a Healthy Obligation
You learn how to
educate the market place versus "selling". When the prospect learns what the
"right" move is for them they are "amazed" at how long they have had it
"wrong" and they (prospect) feel a "healthy" sense of obligation to
give YOU their business. We do not pressure or sell, BUT we do "tell it
like it is", and operate based on circumstance. Lining the pockets of the
prospect is the end result. The comment made often by our prospects is, "you
are a G-d send, and where have you been all of my life"? "I have been
over-paying for a lifetime". So, we deliver education and in return we get a
wonderful thriving business. A good trade for all, indeed.
The
Rudder
A sailboat will
"slide" without a "rudder". I am my students "rudder" to their business.
Wasting time and moving sideways is just not acceptable at our school. The
best way to succeed is to be a good student and do what I teach you to do! I
am a "fuss pot", as I want things done "my" way! We have many tools and
a wonderful staff, BUT make no mistake, I am your "producer and director", and
your education and success are MY responsibility. No "rudder" the boat or
business slides ... "not around here"!
Finite
There is much to
learn BUT the good news is the program is "finite" and it builds upon itself.
The other good news is the prospects in the market place know "nothing or so
little" that this allows the student to launch and earn commissions while
still training and building. We are not like a University or a traditional
school as you have test after test in what seems like a "never ending cycle".
Our program builds upon itself and is "stackable". So, even though there is "a
lot" to learn when you begin ... in a short period of time you go from
"student to teacher", and ultimately TOP PRODUCER ... "once you do the
work".
Fear
in the Market Place
We anticipate
"fear, gripes, and a general lack of understanding by the consumer". We
embrace this and hit it "head on" from the out-set. When we get "done"
with the "educational" part of our presentation the prospect becomes
"putty" in our hands. They learn that we are on their side of the table, as
opposed to sitting across from them. It is techniques like these that has them
lining up for our preacher-teacher approach. In many ways we are the
"anti-insurance" people. The market place loves us for it! I often say to
our classes that "I would like a nickel for every dollar of over payment in
premiums and services in the market place in our country, and it is our jobs
to insure our beloved clients "side-steps" this scenario"!
Add-On
and The Cross Sell
We are fortunate
as our business model calls for income potential "everywhere we turn". The key
for us is "how to execute". Do we want to handle each "vertical" yourself? Or
"farm" out certain verticals (or potential income streams) due to time
and man-power constraints? For me ... I focus on health insurance with my
agency. We "cross sell", life insurance, property and casualty, dental
insurance and more! We also make a big "push" in a
lucrative and powerful "limited benefit program" where we can help the
very "health challenged" (cancer, diabetes and a lot more). So, as I always
say, there is income everywhere you turn and we must pick our "poison" as it
relates to time management, man-power and proper execution.
PJM
Library
The PJM library
is a tool that allows you to "learn" your craft in your time or schedule.
Every class and webinar is recorded so attending class is not essential. Over
50% of our students begin part-time so the PJM library allows them to move at
their pace.
I am known as Mr.
24/7 by the student so the combination of having me when needed ... day or
night ... as well as the many many sections (in the PJM library) that
includes all curriculum in audio.... serves all of us so well. Simply put, the
PJM library allows you to "leverage" your time and work at your pace,
"morning, noon and night"!
Life
Of Its Own
If a student
"does what I tell them to do”, and "they" do ... in time their business
"takes on a life of its own"! There is just no better way to "say it"! The
phone is ringing, the applications are flowing in, and you are "earning"
income across many verticals. Health, Life, Group, Individual, Property and
Casualty Insurance, Dental, Limited Benefit Program and more. "Money"
everywhere you turn as you "educate" the market-place on "how to" versus "how
not to"!
Our clients love
us, because we help them to understand how it ALL works ... and how to
"side-step" tens of thousands of wasted premium "value" dollars that belong in
their pocket, not the insurance companies. In many ways we are the
"anti-insurance company", and our clients not only respond with referral after
referral, they actually "love" us! The benefit to us? A business that takes on
a "life of its own"!
Every Word
and Nuance - How Often Does "Number One" Teach Why and How?
I became The
PJ-Man almost by accident. I had grown my residual income to over $23,000 a
month in little over one year, and told my wife Andee, "It is getting harder
to grow my income unless I add people or build an agency ... AND I
can do this OR I can teach others to be me, THE top producer". My wife, Andee,
liked the idea of me becoming THE teacher, as she quickly replied, "That is
your calling, you were meant to teach, preach and coach, and they will be very
fortunate to have you and I promise they will love you"! I asked, "Are
you sure"? And she replied ... "I am absolutely sure"!
So, my students
learn every word, every nuance from the man that is number one, and a
person who loves to share "all" it takes to become number one. There was
no pre-conceived idea or agenda to become The PJ-Man ... it just
happened. I feel it is important to note this, as how often does a "number
one" at anything share every nuance of how to become "that"?
Branding
I teach how to
"brand" your insurance company and "yourself" ! Gieco has their "gecko" and
your company has YOU! I want YOU to be the "brand", and in turn grow a
following! When your "audience" thinks insurance, I want them to think about
"YOU"! I call it turning you into "The Madonna" of the insurance
world!
You
will Learn How to Be a "Deal-Maker" and the "Hub"
This lesson is
very important! You will learn how I have made "deals" with other insurance
brokers and agencies, as well as many clients and in turn these "deals" have
brought me many thousands in premium and commission dollars! You will learn
how you are the "hub", and all of the "spokes" coming out from you
THE "hub" adds up to a fortune of "deals"!
Group
Business - "I guarantee I can save you at least 50%”! Potential ... 200
million!
Our
countries way of handling health insurance is "different" than all others it
seems. So many Americans count on receiving their health insurance through
their employer. How often do we say, "Honey, I landed that job we were
counting on, and YES, they have benefits"! The problem is group health
insurance in way way over-priced. The employer and the employee are getting
crushed by runaway premiums BECAUSE when they purchased the coverage it was
NOT handled correctly. It is not close! The great news for us is we "pick off"
so much business as we move them to individual coverage or make a lateral move
toward a stronger group plan while factoring in the all important "contracted
rate". We provide the education, the programs and the plans, and they deliver
their employees, their spouses and children and everybody wins! Except maybe
the insurance company ... well not as much as they had been winning anyway! We
drive sales and since we get paid on gross premium NOT profit ... "the
three fast nickels versus two slow dimes approach" AND what I call "closing
your back-door" is CLEARLY "who we are and why we are pretty good at what we
do"!
Training
of the Day ... "Drip, Drip, Drip"!
Every morning our
students receive the days "TOD" or the "Training of the Day" by e-mail. I
parcel out these daily lessons to go along with our multiple daily classes and
our PJM library. I call it the "drip learning effect", as each lesson soaks in
and soon you become the teacher! These daily TOD's go into the PJM library so
you can access when you are studying.
Women and
The Female Market
Women represent
three out of every 4 calls that come into your agency daily or 75%! We
understand this and embrace it! We "cater" to this market because we know,
"they are coming ... and we must be well prepared".
Why so many women
you ask?
* Preventative
Care or "the yearly exam"
* Calling for
their children
* Calling for
their families
* Calling for
their "boss" at work
* Calling for
their business
* Calling because
they are just "smarter"
Since we are the
"value" house ... knowing what to say and how to say it ... along with the
given education on exactly how the "woman" fit into the grid or model
separates us like no one else. If you know how the female "fits in" ... you
have gone a long way to knowing how to merchandise each application! We are
THE expert here!
Phone
Mashers
At our
school I teach you how to "duplicate" yourself so you can maximize your
income streams. A "phone masher" costs you $200 a week, and yields 7-10 times
this figure in income. The "masher" is used by the student / broker who
has built their business to $10,000 per month in residual income, and wants to
grow quickly ... beyond that figure.
Dental
Covers My Expenses
There are income
streams to be "worked" everywhere you turn in your home-office. Dental
insurance is like the "french fries" that go along with the hamburger.
Everyone wants it, and the residual commission grows and grows. It does not
take long for this small premium added up residually to cover your entire
over-head and then some. I have earned a fortune in this "vertical".
Mrs.
Jones - "I want to teach YOU how it all works"!
We are the
"teacher" in the market-place. Our prospects just don't understand how it
works. When we get finished they "applaud" the education they have received
from us, and throw money at us, as we have created an environment that is
"healthily" and of sincere dependence from the prospect toward us, versus a
feeling of "sales tactics and gimmicks that will ultimately drive business
away"!
"The
Market-place, Integrity and You"
The market-place
does not have the integrity we wish it did. Our competition IS
over- selling, over-promising and under-delivering. You have medical
practices offering cash deals trying to persuade people not to use their
insurance because they have a "deductible". You have medical people over
charging as it pertains to the 30-60-90 rule and "getting away with it"! The
list goes on, BUT the great news is the prospective client "picks" us as "all
roads" lead back to us, and we are there to make sure none of this happens to
THEM. I love the lack of integrity as it gives me an opportunity to save the
day for the market-place! A statement my clients often make? "What
would I do without you"?
Squeezing
Out Revenue by the Head
This is "always"
our goal. We want to take one prospective client or "situation" and turn it
into many income opportunities. We do this by qualifying and filling "needs".
Fewer clients needed to write more and more business. I see us like a "buffet"
table ... only at our buffet you get charged for each selection. Insurance
covers many "verticals", and the question is, "what are the needs of each
person" who comes to your buffet?
Game
of inches - Education is Stack-able
We operate as if
every deal is gained by an "inch". This works well for us as we feel we often
win by a "mile". This philosophy helps us to get more than our share of deals.
We feel our competition "makes us look good". While they are focused on greed
or higher premiums and commissions ... our focus is on the correct
"prescription" and a complete education for the consumer. As the prospective
client "peels" back the onion (you are the onion), you "impress at every
turn". We go into the game as if we could "lose by an inch" and this
attitude brings us many "wins" by a mile.
Who
am I? "Everything Insurance"
I am often asked
when I am "out and about" ... "what do I do for a living", as we all are? I do
NOT say "I am the PJ-Man", or even speak about our school, as the school is a
"labor of love for me or my passion" ... what I am is "Mr. Insurance of
Nevada", or "everything insurance"! I love being this person as I have earned
a fortune educating and prescribing in my market. I find the moniker
"everything insurance" fits and feels good. It also quickly and efficiently
explains what I do. It also makes me feel "proud", as I am not an insurance
"salesman", I am a business owner!
All
you need is "DRIVE"
Student
candidates often ask me, "Andy, what is the key to being a success with you"?
I advise them I will provide the system, the education and all you need to
deliver is the DRIVE! If you give me this, I will give you a career. So, if
you were thinking of this question, one that is asked most often, you have the
answer!
"Womb
to Tomb and I Cover It All"
We cover the
market place from day one in their lives, all the way till the end. This last
part sounds a little morbid, BUT it is true. Whether it is health insurance
for an infant, and then adding on life insurance as they "age", dental
coverage, covering their business, their employees, covering their automobile,
their homes and finally covering their funeral with final expense, WE DO
IT ALL!
Limited
Benefit Program - "Diabetes Pays for Itself"
We want to help
everyone in the market place. So, if a person has diabetes, cancer (and so on)
for example we have a great program for them. A program that delivers the all
important "contracted rate", and a very strong residual commission to us. The
savings for the client pays for the policy. One hundred applications earn you
approximately $5,000 a month ... every month. Our "motto" is ... "nobody
walks" ... which means "we have a program for every person at every stage of
their life!
It is
simple as A to B
Yes you get a
complete education. Yes you are "sharper" than everyone in the market place.
Yes you can go on and on as needed "spouting" off every nuance in every way!
However we keep it "simple" very simple as around here as we write application
after application AND we say "it is as simple as A to B! Why? Because we are
here to make is simple for the market place. We are not in the "overwhelm"
business ... we are in the "education" business and that is what we do ... all
day ... every day! It is as simple as A to B ... over and over and over again.
"It is like digging to China ... you pick your head up and you are there"!
King
of referral
I have been in
three industries in my life and I have never seen anything like we have in the
insurance industry. Referral after referral after referral! Why? The answer
has to be "we do a great job" and our clients want to "turn others on" to us.
Around here we average two referrals per day. This may not sound like much,
but it adds approximately $10,000 in additional income per month. The business
takes on a "life of its own" as your clients want to in their own way, "take
credit for finding you"! We all want to help the people we know given the
chance ... YOU are one more way your clients get to do this.
Manage
Expectations
Our
school and its faculty teach many subjects in many areas and one of them
is "how to manage and exceed" people’s expectations. I feel over delivering is
very important. We want to "impress" the market place at every "turn", and
this is an area where we MUST always shine. So, we use what I call the
"soothsayer" effect as we can "predict" the outcome an in many instances "read
the prospects mind". What does this do for our business? Build trust and
create more business!
One
Constant is Change
There is a reason
successful people grow to be this way and remain over years and decades. They
embrace change rather than "shy" away or "fear" it! That is what I teach and
preach! There is always going to be "change" and staying on the "cutting edge"
and "using" this change as an opportunity to once again separate us from the
rest is who you want to be, and who we are!
Rule
of Three
We focus on how
to create "value" for the market-place. The market is trained to "lump" all
family members on one application. This is the wrong way to "prescribe". We
have "rules of thumb" we follow that not only saves our prospects allot of
premium dollars, BUT creates "trust" at the point of sale. So, while our
competition operates one way, we operate and "beat to a different drummer"
which once again separates us from the market-place and creates additional
revenue for us, and value for our clients.
The
$100 Mistake
We take great joy
in educating the market-place. It is so simple and common for the market-place
to spend an additional $100 per month in the individual market. This accounts
to an additional $40,000 plus over the prospects lifetime. We use this $100
mistake in all areas of the business, and we find that the market-place
"understands" this and all of our simple mathematical formulas.
Three
Months of Savings
We have many
"tricks of the trade" and one of them is how we can offer prospective clients
three months of premium savings immediately. This and many of the techniques
we use help separate us from the "pack."
