I finally got down to calling people after one whole week of not doing that. I got quite worried coz my organiser looked pretty empty for next week. The desire to get it to look at least not-so-blank, actually got me around to pick up that phone exactly at 6pm (as specified in my daily schedule) to start calling. Thanks be to God. ALthough I got a few rejections, they were alright. THe people that didnt want to meet up with were not terribly nasty but genuinely turned off by their previous experience with insurance agents. I don't blame them. This industry hasnt been in the limelight for the right reasons all the time.
It was a pretty long day. As usual, difficult to start the engine going in the morning as I crawled out of bed. BUt once I hit the shower, thanks be to God, I wanted to start working all over again. Surprisingly, although I only had one appointment today (miraculously, I couldnt find someone to lunch with at the airport! the airport!), I didnt go shopping or do something unconstructive. I thank God for that.
On my LOonnng way back from the airport, a thought came to my mind as I evaluated on my presentation to the only appt of the day. I think I need to be more professional in my approach and presentation. Afterall, people are letting me handle their finances, I cant be a clown all the time. And I dont like it that people dont take me seriously when I say I want to be in the biz to help them and not for their money. I think the way I explain where I am coming from in terms of my purpose and aim in this biz, didnt quite match my intentions. Therefore, I dont blame these people too. I have alot of improve on. I just hope I will remain humble enough to be teachable, and patient enough to see the change. Most of all, I need to learn to let go of some things, and just Let God.
