tuesday already?


I'm off to work!
Today is a calling day, which means that I will try to speak to at least seven people and make at least two appointments. I have two people with pending quotes, and hope to complete two sales based on those.
One call is to a woman who wants to stop making her premium payments, however, when I looked at the permanent policy she bought twenty years ago at age twenty, I wonder why anyone would want to. If she continues to pay the $50/month, she will have over $165,000 in cash surrender value at age 65. Nice retirement fund! She'll also get a 9% return on her premiums paid, and you can't tell me she'd get that if she were to deposit that $50/month somewhere else.
Have a good Tuesday, and wish me luck with the calls.

    Good luck K, go hard talking that woman out of throwing 20 years worth of her money away - she's nearly half way to a good nest egg.

    $50. Wow. I wish my premium for my pension was $50. I pay $1200 a month and even with the exchange rate, Kate, it still ain't close to $50. lol. And I know I will increase it too...cause I am a good ways off from 65, and with changes in the economy, $1200 a month now will not make me as comfy as I wanna be then. God willing.

    I do hope it was a good day for you. I have to say, I'm awful at phone work and I'm so glad you have the sales calls not me. :)

    "Break a leg" (being famous, like you're soon gonna be, you ought to realize wishing someone "luck" is a bad omen -- according to the movie professionals, at least).

    I do NOT admire you for having to make so many phone calls, luv. But then, my own work has it's crazy and tedious moments as well.

    Richest blessings.
