what a week
monday and tuesday were not necessarily good days, they weren't bad but not good either. wednesday morning i went across town for a meeting that i really did not want to attend but it turned out to be a great meeting. instead of the usual "i am your regional manager and you have to do this, that, and the other" we got "i am just an agent like you guys and when my business started to crash with the economy this is what i started doing". all of the way home i thought about how this could work for me and on thurday morning i put the plan into action. i picked out 10 clients that i could talk to just as friends and called each stating that i wanted to see them to do their annual insurance review and that i also needed their help with something. they all immediately asked if i was ok medically followed by "then what can i do, anything you need". i have begun meeting with these people and i am asking them to sign letters of introduction for me that i can mail to their friends and family. most of these people did not realize that the problems with the economy would dribble down to their insurance agent. the wonderful thing is that each person i have spoken with has told me that they would be more than happy to help me out and do what ever it takes to help me regrow my business. one couple that i spoke with yesterday is in their 70's and having their home foreclosed on, thank God they have another home to move into. the wife cried when i told her that i would be more than happy to jump in and help them with their move. if nothing else this is restoring my faith in man kind.

    Dede, this breaks my heart. If this couple is moving and needs help moving, please please please let me know. Me and the boys will be there with the truck! And, if they need moving boxes, I can score some of them too. Times like these, we need to step up and help one another. No one in ther 70's needs to be starting over. So whatever I and these lug boys can do, please offer us up and use us!!! you are a true blessing, love Melody
