5 Reasons to Buy My Book

Although I sell insurance I also enjoy speaking engagements and promoting my book. I enjoy having three things going at once because each of them promotes the others. When I speak, I give examples of my insurance stories, which I mention are in the book. When someone reads my book, they learn that I'm an insurance agent and a speaker. And all of my insurance clients know that I've written a book, and most of them have a copy of it.

As I mention in my book, first and foremost of all the products or services we sell, is ourselves. People buy from people they like and trust. By promoting my book with silly memes people see that I have a sense of humor (somewhat deprecating) and I hope that makes them like me. I'm not going to overthink about why people would like me, I just know that if someone likes me, they'll refer me, or my business, or my book to others.

With this in mind, I hope you are subscribing to this blog, following me on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram (RIP Google+).

And I hope you do go to Amazon and purchase a copy of my book. Here are a few reasons why.

  1. It's not motivational like other books on sales. Hell, it may make you want out of the business.
  2. It gives you tools you can use immediately. You don't have to pass a course or earn my super special certification. 
  3. It's sarcastic and politically incorrect. One reader actually called me to let me know that she thought I was "profane".  I took that as a compliment.
  4. It's a light read. I've had people told me they read it one sitting. I've also had a few tell me they put it on the back of their toilet and read a chapter at a time. 
  5. Life hacks. Most of the tools and ideas I share in the book can be used in your everyday life, even if you aren't in sales. 
So I hope you click the link below and purchase a copy. And if you like it, leave a review on Amazon. Thanks!

Changing My Scheduling Calendar For 2025

This blog usually has actionable sales tips and advice to help you succeed in your business. This time, I wanted to take a look at another part of your business, which is scheduling appointments or sales calls or whatever you need to schedule.  Having a scheduling calendar that your prospects can make your job so much easier. Instead of calling back and forth to pin a time to meet down, you can let your prospect/client pick their own time. According to FinancesOnline.com, online scheduling can lead to 26% more customers, so sharing your calendar is a real no-brainer. I have a Google calendar that I use to book appointments, but I have also been using Calendly and sharing it on my website and social media. The two calendars are supposed to sync up to avoid double bookings, but recently I discovered an issue.  I had blocked out a couple of days on my Google calendar for a business conference, but Calendly was still showing those days as available. After trying to find a way to f...

A Great Tool For Your Drip Marketing Campaign

In today's fast-paced world, staying connected and informed is key to successful networking. Imagine having a tool that keeps you updated on your prospects' achievements and interests without lifting a finger. Enter Google Alerts—an easy way to keep your network engaged and your name top of mind. Google Alerts allows you to monitor the web for specific keywords, such as a prospect's name or industry-related topics. When you set up alerts, you receive notifications whenever new content appears online. This enables you to congratulate a contact on a recent achievement or share relevant articles, demonstrating your attentiveness and interest in their success.  Consider a scenario where a client, Mary Johnson*, is mentioned in an article for her outstanding work. With Google Alerts, you receive this information promptly and can reach out with a congratulatory message. This small gesture can strengthen your relationship and keep you in their thoughts for future opportunities. Ne...

Introducing the "You're Going To Be Great At This!" Podcast

I was pretty surprised when I saw that my last blog post was several months ago. Time really does fly when you're having fun, or in my case, just having a busy workload. In the last few months I've been on the road for an approximate total of 9 weeks. Needless to say I get less than motivated to work in a hotel room after selling insurance for 8 hours, so blogging isn't on my "to do" list. While driving in my car during these trips I try to make my time productive my listening to podcasts on business and marketing. I'm not sure if someone was trying to tell me something but over the course of a week or so, I heard 4 episodes on how starting a podcast can help boost your business. After mulling this over and considering my options, I decided to take the plunge and start one myself. I've had a YouTube channel for a while which is fine, but I wanted to do something a little different. So I decided to start the "You're Going To Be Great At This!"...
