Working on Wall Street as a stockbroker for 9 years had its ups and downs. Many more downs than ups as my income was based on the performance of stocks. But, before any income could be made a book of clients had to be amassed. How was this done? Making 400 plus phone calls a day and hoping someone would speak to you and, if lucky enough, to have more than a 2 to 3 minute conversation with them that had to encompass their investment objectives along with their current investments in the market. But that wasn’t all, I then had to convince them to listen to my firms latest stock recommendations. Yes, this was considered a “lead”. If you were good enough you would get 3 to 5 leads per day after making 400 plus phone calls.

Let’s do the math for a typical week. If you were able to maintain the drive and work ethic to dial 2,000 phone calls per week, week in and week out, this would result in a maximum of 15 to 25 leads. Now the next thing you would have to do is to convince the prospect on the phone to invest $5,000 to $250,000 in the company’s next stock recommendation. These investments, if the stock price increased, could bring taxable gains, of if the stock price decreased could result in significant losses. The stockbroker’s job is to raise a lot of money and hopefully make a positive return on the investor’s money, but the result could also be major losses. This is the exact opposite of what we do at Ascencea. We speak with people who want to be spoken with. We raise little amounts of money (monthly premium) to protect a homeowners biggest investment. And we provide our clients with the option of having returned 100% of the premiums paid at the end of the term period, assuming no benefits are previously paid. What a drastic difference from my prior career!

In 2001, when I financially hit rock bottom, the Ascencea dream door opened for me. Coming from the ups and downs of Wall Street, I was a little gun shy yet desperate for what to do next. How would I be able to find an occupation that had a platform and a system in place that rewards the ones who work the hardest. I was lucky enough to find that company.

Now I’m living the Ascencea dream!”

A Success Story I Would Like To Share

“Four years ago I joined the Ascencea family and it has changed my life and the future of my family forever. I first started as an agent who did not know the first thing about insurance, since my prior employment was computer retail. Being blessed with my first daughter, retail hours hardly allowed us to see each other during the week and I decided it was time to find a career with better earnings potential, flexibility, and financial security. I’m sure these are wants that everyone in the world is looking for? Right? Ascencea trained, motivated and molded me into a successful producer in the North Jersey office. For the first few months I had to pinch myself because we are trained to believe that when it’s too good to be true it usually is. I was catching myself  often telling my wife that I simply had another “lucky week”. After a few months I stopped pinching myself and stopped believing it was was just another lucky week, but rather an opportunity and a blessing that I was lucky to receive. The simplicity of the job is probably the hardest concept to accept. Take a lead sent back by a potential client, call, set an appointment, insure the client and offer him or her their “money back” if they haven’t already used the benefits. How easy is that!

After a year of hard work and consistent week after week success, I earned an award as the #2 producer in the company. This reward was followed by a HUGE door that opened up and I was given the opportunity to increase my earnings potential by becoming the Regional Manager for Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia, and also have the chance to change the lives of others as Ascencea has done for me.

Thank you for changing my life, Ascencea!
