Start Building Your Team NOW!

Use this simple 3 step process to generate interest within your Warm Market – people you already know and encounter throughout your day – could be a server at a restaurant, the checkout clerk at the grocery, your accountant, a friend from church, your uncle, your cousin – Ask them this one simple question:

1. “Are you open to additional income if it fits into your schedule?”

2. If yes, have them watch this short 5 minute video to check further interest: https://www.pappasfamilylife.com/workwithsymmetry/
(note: you can get a video of your own by joining Owners Circle)

3. Get them on a 3 way call with your Growing Upline (your growing upline is the person who is following the system, personally developing, and growing their business)

When you are first getting started and working in your warm market you may not feel like you have a story to share.

Build your team anyway!

Get your recruiting prospects on the phone with your Growing Upline – You bring the Trust, your Upline brings the Respect

This strategy also works great for Kitchen Table Recruits – 3rd party validation is a powerful tool!  Edify your Upline and put them to work for you!

Cold Market Recruiting requires Time and a Budget. And the Law of Large Numbers! Remember, the purpose of finding a cold market recruit is to heat them up quickly and then help them get into their warm market!

Here are some examples of Cold Market Strategies. Talk with your Agency Owner to determine the right strategy for you.

Here is your Carriers & Underwriting Checklist:

☐ E&O Coverage
☐ Virtual Mentor
☐ Mobile Access! & Bookmark Mobile Page
☐ Core Carriers and Underwriting Terminology
☐ Mutual of Omaha (MOO)
☐ United Home Life (UHL)
☐ American Amicable (AmAm)
☐ Americo

Everyone always asks, “Do I need E&O Coverage?” and the simple answer is, “Not Yet.”

Our Core Carriers and Core Products for Mortgage Protection and Final Expense do not require it. If you start writing Annuities or other Product Concepts, you will need to have it, but to get started, you do not!

We suggest getting started with our Core Products, and when you are ready, purchase your E&O from the Symmetry recommended program HERE.

***This is your GO TO Resource!***

BOOKMARK the Virtual Mentor Website on your phone/laptop/iPad and use to see what Carrier/Product your Client will qualify for.

Step 1: Register Click on “create account”> Choose “sales agent” under type of agent> Select your most direct Agency Owner

Step 2: Text your Agency Owner – Let them know you set up your account so it can be approved.

Step 3: Watch Tutorial Video

USE THIS RESOURCE!  Virtual Mentor will take 95% of the guess work out of the underwriting qualification process!

This said, NOTHING replaces calling a Carrier to do a Risk Assessment or ask Underwriting Questions (i.e. multiple high risk medications)
