Multiple Sclerosis and my insurance career

I am not an insurance agent. Even though I have auto, health and renters insurance does not have any desire to become an insurance agent. But I have a business in my apartment to work with the insurance industry! I remember 27 years ago, when I asked to be an insurance agent right out of college. I was 22 years old and a little 'shy and I turned down a job with a major insurance company, because I did not think I could prospect for new customers. Prospecting in its simplest form is cold calling or telemarketing. If I had been able to do that my life could be a little 'different today for me financially. But I was young and stupid and thought I knew everything so that it became an insurance agent. Let me explain the title of this article in a moment so keep reading.

In 1988 at the age of 30 I started a carpet cleaning business in Minneapolis. I cleaned commercial accounts such as restaurants and condominiums. I had an advertising budget so the only way I could get new business was telemarketing. He taught me and I do telemarketing since. It seems that whatever activities I am involved with telemarketing I found more and more business. I wish I had the phone book and call businesses. I stayed in the carpet cleaning industry for 5 years doing and once I had 4 part-time employees to clean all day.

After the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 1991 I started to slow down because I thought I would die from my MS! Well, I'm not dead, but I did develop panic attacks and anxiety that I still talk to this day. However, now I know what they are and how to deal with them. When a person takes something like MS does not know what's going to happen. I remember I had a lot of numbness and tingling and every time I have tingling in a part of the body other than I thought for sure it was. I ended up selling my carpet cleaning business in 1993. Now, I know more or less like my MS is going to go. However, I developed a talent for telemarketing and I keep running from my diagnosis for a business or another.

Now back to the title of this story! It 'funny because in 1980 I did not want to search, and now that is all I do. Every day is cold calling, telemarketing or prospecting any word you choose. Last year my MS took my legs and my walking. It often happens with MS patients. Now, I am really pleased to be able to pick up the phone and cold calling. Being an entrepreneur and owns small businesses in the last 20 years I have started my own business to work with insurance agents in my apartment. Now I have been calling constantly for men insurance since 2006. I have set up their appointments. At first, I'm mainly of holiday insurance quotes on auto, life, health and home that I really do not like to do. I like to call in and day activities. In 2006 I met an insurance agent that I really get along. His name is Bob, and we share the same twisted sense of humor and lots of laughter. Take my MS and I take on him because he is overweight. Since I met Bob in October of 2006 I also added two other agents that I like to work. They pay me to set up appointments for them, too. I call the companies for the general liability insurance, in addition to, car home, life and health. Can I call during the day that is best for my MS and insurance men are happy with what I'm doing for them. In addition to my insurance company asks me to even get Social Security so now I'm doing pretty well. So this is my insurance career in a nutshell.
