Step Up’and State Your Name!

President & CEO American Income Life
Step Up and State Your Name!
‘The other night I watched the movie Miracle. It is one of those feel good movies about determination and winning. Ге tells the story of the 1980 115. Olympic Hockey Team and the coach, Heth Brooks, who brought his team to a triumphant victory, marking one of the greatest moments in sports history.
‘As many of you know I'm not realy a sports buff, but this movie has several scenes which keep running through my mind,
‘The main scene which stands out is where the team plays an exhibition game against the Norwegians in preparation for the Olympics. The team, as a whole, is unfocused and, as a result, is defeated, After the Norwegian team leaves the ice, the coach tells the US team to remain. He explains if they are not going to work during the game, they are going to work after the game,
Herb Brooks asks his assistant coach to get a whistle because they are going to do drills. The assistant coach blows his whistle and the team skates, at full speed, from one end of the rink to the other. “Again,” says the coach, and the assistant coach blows the whistle and the team skates. “Again,” he says, and the whistle blows, “Again! Again! Again! Again!” ‘The whistle keeps blowing and the team keeps skating. Finally, фе lights in the arena go out and still the whistle blows. After many repetitions, the assistant coach says, “Не, it's too much.” Ней, however, ignores the plea and repeats, “Again.”
By this time, the players are puking, the team's doctor is demanding for the exercise to stop, and then, one of the players says, gasping, “My name is Mike Eruzione, Ет from Massachusetts, and I play for the USA."
‘This was a very pivotal point in the movie, For those of you who have not seen it, up until that moment whenever the players introduced themselves, they would say where they were from and for what college they played. But at that moment, there was a breakthrough. ‘This one player finally understood they were all playing for one team = the USA. Аг that point, they stopped working as individuals and started working аз а team.
‘The story ends as the USA is driving to bring home the gold in a stunning upset over a Russian team that had been unstoppable. ‘They are victorious, the coach tells them to hit the showers and, as they say, the rest is history,

‘This scene should stand as a reminder we are all playing for the same great team = American Income and National Income. However, I do believe we all could learn a lesson from the hockey players who started out as individuals and ended up as a formitable group of players.
1 don't believe we have weathered the last four years with blood and sweat to turn this Company around, to make it one of the тодет age miracles in the insurance industry today, to stand and announce individual success, I believe we made it a success because of our consistent “all for one and one for all” attitude.
Т remind you of this because it will be our solidarity, as а team, as а formitable group of professionals, which will get us through the challenges facing us in the last six months of the yea.
AAs you face these challenges, I want you to think of me as your coach, I'm going to be blowing that whistle, the only difference is instead of me saying “again!” T'm going to be sayin, “Quantity!” “Quality!” *Focus and stay the course!” I will be saying these things over, and over, and over again until it becomes second nature,
Т want you to know, as your coach, we are going to win this game. With your continued focus on working as a unit in mastering recruiting, quantity of business, and quality of business, we are зите to succeed. But itis important to remember not to lose focus and keep our skates оп the ice, во to speak. It might not be саку, but if we pull together, it will all come together.
Let's not confuse ourselves though. ‘This Company wants growth алі wants each and every one of you го succeed. We want you to hit minimum standards, we want you о recruit new agents, and ‘we want you to work on business quality. We want you to be financially independent. We want you to be with this Company ‘your entire career, and we are sure your level of commitment is equal to that of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team.
Again, 1 want this team to keep winning and for you to Бе a part of that winning team — the whistle is blowing!

Welcome to the Board
INTRODUCING: Joe Hansen

We welcome Mr, Hansen to the Labor Advisory Board, and ме are looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership for many years to come,

Steps to Improving Your Quality of Business.
Is Your Quality of Business Where You Would Like it To Be? Most of you would agree there is always room for improvement.
Sometimes just a review of the basics can produce the significant improvement you need. Review the basics below for improving your quality of business.
Five Areas of Business Loss and Suggestions for Improvement
1. Declines Utilize trial applications and make sure you are aware of the conditions that are auto declines. Also, it may be beneficial to move to a healthy family member when the primary applicant discloses health concerns.
2. Withdrawals Always do а “warm down” or “button up” utilizing a sample policy. Don't oversell and follow-up at a later date for cross-selling. It is also important to handle objections early, answer all the applicants’ questions while observing thei body language, Don't forget to call and say, “thank you.”
1 pletes
The basics can help, but goals are important as well. Target a Net to Gross of 83 percent or better, and you will be well on your way to improving your quantity and quality of business.

Bringing It All Together
Success happens where a well-laid plan and solid goals meet. Russell Lewis is по exception. Russ has been with National Income for about 15 months, but in that time he has come to embody opportunity unlimited, With a clear work ethic and a dedication to achieving his goals, Mr. Lewis goes out everyday and focuses his day on
bringing it all together.
“L have been with National Income since March of last year. Before that, 1 worked for а top employer in the
Syracuse area, Unfortunately, I Jost my

little more than a year ago,a Producer National Income came to my house to sell me some life insurance, 1 had already given some serious thought of entering the financial sector, but it was after a long conversation with that Agent that I decided to take the plunge.
Working for National Income has been an awesome and it has offered me the financial freedom ty that I have craved my entire career.
From my perspective, this business allows you to do your job but on your own terms. My approach is open and honest. 1 don't believe in pressuring prospective clients. 1 believe it is a decision that I can help them make and assist them in matching the products that best fit their needs.
Since quality and quantity is the Company's focus for the year, I have geared my business towards offering the best customer service possible. Т always follow-up with my clients and I always leave my phone number. I figure if they are looking for answers, I am the best person to offer the response.
Itis also my philosophy that an Agent's retention starts at the point of sale, It is all about relationships and if you build that initial relationship with the client, then they will recognize the fact that you are there to serve them for the long ha
My biggest motivator in this business is my family. 1 believe that if ат focu
sd, 1 will be successful, This in
tum allows me to provide for my family which in the
end is the most important thing,
Ir takes а lot to be successful, but the primary factors
contributing to a person's success is their dedication to hard work, a keen eye for detail and orga allowing yourself to be coachable, In today’s business arena, you can't take the attitude that you know everything because there is always something to lea Allowing yourself to learn from those around you Бе a tremendous resource. In other words, why would I
ition, and
want to learn from someone who isn't successfull when 1 can learn so much more from someone who is? very fortunate in this respect because at № Income, I am surrounded by plenty of success stories.
“The advice I would pass on to an Agent just starting out with National Income or American Income is that you have to have a desire, А desire to work hard. A desire to be financially independent, and a desire to listen to those who are successful.”
