I wound up selling things for most of my adult life. Didn't initially want to. Found out I could do it fairly well. Spent years in various "boiler room" scenarios and identified far more as a consultant, often to the chagrin of my employers.
Through it all, I've learned a lot - but about what? I'd say that my chief takeaway has been identifying what's helpful to people, including my actual treatment of those I meet and do business with.
Therefore, according to the Golden Rule, I sleep better at night when I live according to a more guidance-oriented ethic than pushing people to buy the widget or the idea. I get behind goods & services that will ultimately help people live better lives. That's why I sell the above types of insurance - and only what & how much makes sense. So if you'd like to chat & learn, I'm here to help. At the same time, my time is as valuable to me as yours is to you.
