On embracing personal growth: “Without adversity --- there in NO PERSONAL
GROWTH” “REAL LIFE exists in our “DIS-COMFORT
ZONES” “Change is INEVITABLE, but GROWTH is
OPTIONAL!” “Ships are safest in the Harbor. But that’s not
what ships are built for” “The Harder you work, the Harder it is to
surrender”- Vince Lombardi
On moving people to action: (Team Members, Clients, Kids, or Peers)
“I must be RED HOT to get you LUKEWARM” – Nidenberg
On setting limits & the risk of not committing to LOFTY WORTHWHILE Goals:
“Am I busy getting results or am I just BEING BUSY without any real purpose or intention toward a worthwhile goal?” Marvism
How High is HIGH if you don’t know how HIGH, HIGH is?” Marvism
“When NOTHING is CERTAIN, EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE” – Sign found in front of a destroyed Katrina Home
“Can I truly embrace the gift of this day? Can I live like I am dying? Because I am. Hopefully just not on an accelerated pace.” Marvism
MOST IMPORTANT TAKEWAYS FROM TODAY’S MEETING???
FOCUS ON BEING SIGNIFICANT NOT SUCCESSFUL.
EMBRACE HOW TANDEM APPTS CAN LEVERAGE YOUR PRODUCTION, TIME & TEAM COACHING IMMEDIATELY.
YOUR “KATRINA” WILL COME. ARE YOU PREPARED TO RESPOND WITH CHARACTER OR REACT WITH INDECISION AND LACK OF FOCUS?
DO YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WORK FOR THE BEST DAMN COMPANY ON EARTH? BELIEVE IT!!
60 BILLION STRONG & GROWING.
IN TOP 1% OF ALL BANKS & 8 OUT OF OUR 10 CLIENTS DO NOT YET KNOW WE HAVE A BANK!!! ARE YOU GETTING THIS?
Other Thought Provoking “Marvisms” to ponder
Change is INEVITABLE, but GROWTH is OPTIONAL!
Most people find BLAME easier than effort.
REAL LIFE exists in our “DIS-COMFORT ZONES”
Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time wasted in disapproving of others.
We are all BORN unique, be careful not to end up dying as copies.
Be OUTRAGEOUS!! It’s the only place that’s not CROWDED!!
Focus on the DONUT. Not the HOLE.
Ability is what you’re capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it. – Lou Holtz
Which of these Significant Ideas Might I Embrace in 2009?
Monthly 1 on 1 meeting:each agent and team member, with a prepared agenda, sit down and openly communicate on any matters either party deem IMPORTANT.
Benefits of the 1 on 1 meetingSolves little problems while they are littleFosters open dialogue, which fosters trustIt’s not just the Agents meeting. Mutually BeneficialMonthly evaluation of goals & performance is discussedBoth Ways – “How am I doing as an Agent?”Both parties are held accountable for what was discussed in the
prior month
1. Have a high school student or son or daughter of a staff member migrate your name, addresses, & #’s of all your policyholders into your cell phone. (They do NOT have to do this manually, 1 name at a time).
2. Order from your AFO Razz report for the Top 200 Policyholders – Criteria Premium per Household, keep this list in several places. When commuting call your Top 200 with a “no-solicit” just touching base call. You will be amazed at the good will it creates.
3. Homeowners without Auto and Auto without Homeowners. Before you go “Hog Wild” writing new business outside of your current book. Make 1 person (Your Agency Contact Specialist) responsible for (1) all x-dates in the house (2) finding C.D., 401k money (3) who’s your life/health with and (4) set the Tandem appointment
4. Agents, is your Team Selling around the Service Activities that must get done? Or is your Team Servicing around the Selling Activities that must get done?
Point: If your Team continues to be comfortable just “servicing”, eventually they will serve NO ONE.

On the subject of PRICE vs. VALUE:
“In the history of recorded time, no customer has ever said, ‘Your Price it too HIGH’ and meant it” - www.chuckreaves.com
So someone looks at a Brand New Mercedes Benz and says, “it’s too expensive!” Is it really too expensive or is it that “you just can’t afford it”? (Do you understand the difference)
“It’s very difficult if not impossible to SELL what you do NOT OWN”.
How many team members carry low auto liability limits & yet you expect them to sell HIGH auto limits? It goes “against their grain”. Honestly – when is the last time EVERY TEAM MEMBER - including you - have sat down & had a full fledged Insurance & Financial Review? Why would we take care of others before we comprehensively take care of ourselves?
