A Health Insurance Quote

I am a salesman by trade, but when I was much younger, I had a job offer to sell insurance. I spent 3 months going into people’s homes with very little success.

One day my boss said he wanted to send me out with one of his best salesman. It seemed like a good idea, so I went with him to his next appointment. The couple was in their mid-thirties; with a nice home, and said they needed health insurance.

We sat down and at the kitchen table and he began to give his sales pitch. About halfway through the husband said that he had heard enough, and that they were not interested.

I thought it was over, but the other agent stood up and started yelling at the top of his voice. He said that he had come to give them a health insurance quote and that they would listen until he was done. He sat down and began talking in a normal voice. The couple looked at each other and never said a word.

I can’t tell you how embarrassed I was. I thought we had lost the sale for sure. When he was done, he gave them a family health insurance quote and they bought the policy.

However, I knew that I would never be able sell anything as he did. I never went to another home to sell insurance. I was done!

The internet has since turned the world around. Now you can easily find cheap health insurance quotes from qualified professionals without the old-fashioned salesman and his archaic—and sometimes, outlandish—selling techniques in your living room.
