My story: The thought of sales wasn't something I was looking for as I searched for new jobs. The thought of selling things that people don't need nor enhances their life was a turn off. However I was approached to sell insurance. That made sense.
Some of my family members and friends had some serious medical issues. Some died and had no insurance, while some survived but their quality of life was never the same. The ones that died, I watched their family struggle to make ends meet, they did GoFundMe to pay for those final expenses and the struggle was real. They faced losing everything. The ones that survived were so encumbered with financial debt that most lost everything and they can't work. In the end, had they had Life Insurance or living benefit insurance these outcomes would have been significantly different. So a small investment today would have been that safety net they needed later.
Truth be told, medical conditions do not discriminate by age. Life is cruel so people of any age, even infants make sense to invest in life and major illness plans to compliment their major medical. This is why I sell insurance so I can change others situations so they never find themselves in the situation my family and friends found themselves in.
Compassion, Logic, Ethics and Truth are what drive me not the almighty dollar.
