How To Start From Ground Zero As An Insurance Agent! (Rising Star Podcast Ep. 4)

If you're a brand new insurance agent or looking to get into the business, I'll show you exactly what you should be doing and thinking about when starting from ground zero. This business can be tough, and often times agents have no clue where to start. I started when I was 19 years old in college, and was able to make over $117,000 in my first 8 months in the business. I've learned so much throughout the years on how new insurance agents can be successful and I'm excited to share some of this knowledge with you.

When he was 20-years old, Cody decided to become a full-time insurance agent despite time constraints due to going to college full-time and playing college basketball. Even so, he set a goal to make $100,000 his first year and exceeded this goal within 8 months. Now, his goal is to help train, mentor and motivate insurance agents all over the world to operate at their highest level. To do this, Cody produces Coaching Programs, Insurance Wealth University, Business Retreats, Insurance Leads, Live Events, Live Shows, and Training Videos.

18 years old and just got my license. I’ve been watching your videos and am ready to crush it!

[@CodyAskins]

Let's go! You got this 🔥

[@toriwilburn8092]

How's it going?

[@JayGuwaap]

@@toriwilburn8092that’s what I want to know

[@michelletsethlikai4367]

Update?

[@gwm4032]

update

[@lararichardson4213]

I currently have a second interview for a company, tomorrow and I'm nervous. I ready to make a better life for myself and my family. I am currently a Teachers Assistant and making next to nothing and I'm sick of being broke and turning over every cent to make it buy. Im excited and ready for a great adventure.

[@vahram66]

Did you get hired?

[@lararichardson4213]

@vahram66 no because they are based out of NJ and i live in Northern NY and they required some office time🤦‍♀️

[@vahram66]

@@lararichardson4213 let me know if you are still interested I can help you with it

[@vahram66]

Let me know if you are still interested , I can definitely help you to get the job

[@toriwilburn8092]

I'm 22. I'm not an Insurance Agent yet, but I have passed my tests and submitted my fingerprint background check. I'm currently waiting for that so I can apply to get my licenses. Once that is done, I have a guaranteed job at state farm (cute, small office). So I'm literally at ground zero right now. I did buy Cody's book and read half of it, I will read the other half once I get the job so I can remember what needs to be done. Anyway, my goal is that I will make 100k this year, before Christmas to be exact. It's currently May 4th, 2024. I will succeed. (Remind me to come here and update, but I won't be needing to update because I already know I've made my 100k this year). :)

[@jfarrar231]

Did you get the job?

[@PlasmaGrounded]

Hows it going

[@danielgranger173]

I needed this video🤝

[@kzumazuml]

Great content!!

[@ryanabitz]

Just found this channel as I’m considering a new career in the insurance industry. Does Cody snort/sniffle all video long in all of his videos?… damn… not sure why that is bothering the hell out of me but it stands out like a sore thumb… lol great content but I hope this isn’t a tick and in every video… be hard to watch. lol

[@Boyce-s4c]

😂😂😂As i am watching this episode in bed from Botswana and heard My country's name. Motivation in a strange way

Hahaha how do you know that?

[@michaelhanderson-wealthcre8155]

The advice I would give is to let people help you. Become friends with networkers and connectors. They will connect you with the clients you need.

[@CodyAskins]

Great advice! Thanks for the comment
