Well people aren't often nice about it. You have to deal with rejection daily. Some consider life insurance salespeople to be amoung the lowest of life forms, along with attorneys and used car salesmen.

Most large sales are done if you can generate great leads on your own or have a large social network.

You won't make much until you have either.

: I have no previous experience in sales or insurance. I am comfortable with people but I'm not one of those really charasmatic or "smooth talking" personalities that I associate with sales people. I guess my biggest concern is that I don't have the personality to be a sales person. I'm nice and friendly but shy, good-looking (if that matters), and intelligent. I have no doubt that I can "learn" the job and do it well, but it's getting my foot in the door (literally, INTO a client's door, lol) thats the biggest challenge. I understand that to be successful I can't rely on "leads" because everyone gets them, I should do some prospecting on my own? I have a fear of rejection, but as long as people are nice about it and not "NO F*&KING WAY", I'm OK with that.
