SELLING THE CHARITABLE POLICY Want an easy, effective way to enable people to do what they want to do-help their favorite charities and the community? Agents also help themselves and the agency. Like many successful routines, it's so straightforward, it sweeps people off their feet! Here's how it works: When anyone in the agency writes a Life insurance application, while compiling the paperwork (or even before then, during casual conversation), get the name of the client's favorite charity or cause. Everybody has one. It might be ... reduce policy fees on the second policy, or offer a second-policy credit. They might create special features aimed at this market niche.

In measuring and comparing achievements, don't forget the perception of the sales profession by the general public. I recently wrote an article for a local school paper extolling the virtues of selling as a profession. I followed the thematic method, which starts with a definition of the topic ... The definitions of selling in the Random House College Dictionary, read: To dispose of for a price To deal in To persuade or induce to buy To force or exact a price for profit These definitions, especially the action words in them, provide a clearly negative view of selling: "Dispose," "deal," "induce," "force," and "exact" are shocking action verbs. Definition 18 finally said, "The act or method of selling." Examples of selling used in the dictionary include selling a bill of goods; selling short; and, selling insurance.
