1108. A Day in the Life: What's It Really Like to Be an Insurance Sales Agent

“My father gave me a gift that I treasure. He had the ability to take a complicated subject or intricate process and explain it to people in terms that they could understand. To this day I have that talent. I can take a very complex issue and break it down into words that the average person can understand without digging into the weeds, without getting too technical. And then they understand it. Then they know the importance of taking some action to fix the problem they didn’t even realize they had. That gives me tremendous satisfaction in the work I do every day.”
