Before we get to it, let's talk about 2016 real quick. I'm dedicated to making 2016 the best year ever for insurance agents all across the country by providing the best agent ideas ever all throughout the year. Why, you ask?
Because this is OUR year! The year of the agent! The year for professionals to fight back against the 800 #'s and internet insurance companies! I just read an article about the up and coming "Uber" of the insurance industry that is designed and dedicated to driving the local, professional agents out of business. I don't know about you, but that makes me mad. Really mad!!
I come across so many prospects who are currently insured with an 800 # company that have the ABSOLUTE WORST insurance coverage possible for their situation. High net-worth folks with low (and sometimes NO) coverage to protect their families and their assets. Young families starting out that have coverage they don't need because someone on the other end of a phone line a thousand miles away pushed the wrong button on their computer screen.
Consumers NEED professional agents and those of us who are in the front lines representing our clients and protecting families deserve to be paid for the hard work that we do every day. Not only are we fighting for and helping consumers, most of us are small business owners that are also employing people and supporting our community. Our cities, our clients and our country needs professional agents like us to not only stay in business, but to thrive, excel and succeed!
If it sounds like I'm pumped up and looking to change the world (or at least improve our industry), it's because that is EXACTLY what I'm planning to do in 2016. I'd love it if every professional agent form every company in every city across the country came along for the ride. We may work for different companies, but we're in this great industry together and we're definitely stronger together than we are apart. It's time to share better ideas, help each other and our industry grow. It's time to be more successful, and help more people. It's time to stand together and fight back against the big companies that are trying to get rid of us, and Britney Spears knows how to get it done (or one of the main components of getting it done, at least)!
Fortunately, she put it into a song for all of us. I've taken the liberty of highlighting the important parts. Here it is:
Work Work
Britney Spears
You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti? You want a Maserati? You better work b**** You want a Lamborghini? Sippin' martinis? Look hot in a bikini? You better work b**** You wanna live fancy? Live in a big mansion? Party in France? You better work b****, you better work b**** You better work b****, you better work b**** Now get to work b****! Now get to work b****! Bring it on, ring the alarm Don't stop now, just be the champion Work it hard, like it's your profession Watch out now, cause here it comes Here comes the smasher, here comes the master Here comes the big beat, big beat disaster No time to quit now, just time to get it now Pick up what I'm putting down Pick up what I'm putting down You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti? You want a Maserati? You better work b**** You want a Lamborghini? Sippin' martinis? Look hot in a bikini? You better work b**** You wanna live fancy? Live in a big mansion? Party in France? You better work b****, you better work b**** You better work b****, you better work b**** Now get to work b****! Now get to work b****! Break it off, break it down See me come and you can hear my sound Tell somebody in your town Spread the word, spread the word Go call the police, go call the governor I bring the treble, don't mean to trouble ya' I make the governor, call me the governor I am the bad b****, the b**** that you'll never know Hold your head high, fingers to the sky They gonna try to try ya', but they can't deny ya' Keep it moving higher, and higher Keep it building higher, and higher So hold your head high, fingers to the sky Now they don't believe ya', but they gonna meet ya' Keep it moving higher and higher Keep it moving higher and higher and higher Work, work, work, work Work, work, work, work Work, work, work, work Work, work, work Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out Work it out, work it out You better work b**** You better work b****
Although it does take MORE than just work to be successful and get you want (like working on the right things), there is no substitute for hard work. It's one of the components needed to make 2016 your best year ever. Thanks for the reminder, Britney!
