“Insurance dude works 9-3 and makes $400k”
I’ll break down the numbers to show you guys what this looks like being the scenes, for this example we’ll use life insurance
But first, to make $400k working 6 hours a day you have to be extremely efficient. You don’t even really have to be that good at sales bc it kind of sells itself. But you do have to be efficient.
To replicate this, you’ll need to…
- ONLY talk to qualified and interested clients, ideally ones who will call you first so you’re more of an order taker than a “closer”
- be at a high enough commission so you can not only make a lot but afford to pay for the highest intent leads on a regular schedule (e.g. $500-$2k every week, remember this is an *investment* not a cost)
- be NOT RET*RDED*rded when it comes to speaking (a lot of people face this issue)
- and lastly, DONT BE A PUSSY AND GIVE UP WHEN IT GETS HARD (you get ONE chargeback and quit, statistically this happens to 93% of insurance agents within the first year, they quit and give up).
And ideally you’re a girl too, girls are better at sales and honestly they work a lot harder and more diligently than 90% of men nowadays for some reason.
Kinda makes me want to become a boss babe feminist supporter
But my point is, it’s not difficult to make $400k but you do have to understand how the numbers break down so you can actually run your business as a system and not as a job, (because your are technically a self employed contractor)
As an insurance agent, carriers will pay you based on the ANNUAL PREMIUM. This will be 60%-100% when you’re first starting out.
So, if the client pays $1200 per year or $100 per month, you’ll get the entire first year’s payments as a commission.
They give you 9 months up front, so $900, and then $100, $100, $100 for the last 3 months
Now let’s talk about how to still get clients
- my agency focuses on inbound calls where the clients call us first requesting coverage. The process is much higher trust, less of a grind, and we don’t cold call, door knock, or ask friends and family for business at all. I don’t do this stuff because 1. It fucking sucks and is scammy but 2. It’s inconsistent.
If you’re gonna make $400k it’s not gonna come by luck. You need a PREDICTABLE SYSTEM and a ROADMAP to follow, which is why I only buy inbound calls.
Now, I’m very analytical so I’ll show you why this is predictable. It’s very easy to put on paper
- I buy a call for $25
- I close 1/6
- My ‘cost’ to sell a new policy is $150
- My average commission is $700-$900 per policy (75% of the annual premium, not including the backend months yet)
So basically every time I spend $150, I make back $700-$900 every time
If I take 15 calls a day, I would make $2,100-$2,700 gross commission if I sold 3 policies.
Now, we DO have to cover marketing and some clients will cancel, but we should still be able to keep $600-$700 per policy net.
Take 15 calls a day and close 3 for $2500 in commission, 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and you’re gonna be right around $400k for the year
I know this because my first month I sold 63
policies which averages to 2.9/day
If you made it this far, there’s 2 routes you can now take:
1. Ignore this and keep scrolling
2. If unlicensed, complete your prelicensing
3. If licensed, improve your skills, system, OR find a company that helps you with the skills and systems
For number 1, I can’t help you.
For 2 and 3, you can join my agency’s group which will give you the EXACT steps (how to get prelicensed, how to get leads, how to sell, how to overcome common objections, etc) so you can go from whoever you are now, to someone who has the skills to make $400k/yr in insurance.
If you’re unlicensed, we’ll pay for your pre-licensing course for you.
We also hire from this community because you get trained in there *extensively* before you ever get on the phone so you hit the ground running
Here’s the link to the community below.
See you there

AI is coming for my job folks
Trust me it's coming for sales too
I’m genuinely shocked by how good this result is.
All I did was upload my @ZoomInfo course materials. No special instructions. Then I added a few client details as an example.
This is what it came back with.
The client confirmed: many of the outputs (not all) were spot on: high-value, relevant, and mapped perfectly to their product.
It saved me hours I would’ve spent learning their market, persona, and sales process.
Instead, it just handed me a clean list of trigger events I could build directly inside ZoomInfo.
It did get the tech filter logic wrong tho. And that was on me (the data wasn’t complete.)
Once this is polished, I’m giving it to everyone who bought the course.
Not only will you become a ZoomInfo master, but you’ll also get an AI trigger event engine tailored to your exact product and sales flow.
This will shave hours off your prospecting time.
And if you stack it with my trigger event prompt?
lol…
You just archetype your outbound system with a couple prompts. All that’s left is the messaging.
I could take this even further, but I’ll save that alpha for later
Side bar: @ZoomInfo can you please add the ability to filter for current vs dropped or inactive technology + date range? I've been asking for years and you already have the data on the platform. It just needs a filter. If you add it then it would be one of the most potent features of zoominfo.

I wonder what happens when I upload my entire ZoomInfo course > transcribe > upload into a vector database (ChatGPT) > prompt ChatGPT to create a list of all possible trigger events to setup + how to do it based on all ZoomInfo features Hmm guess we’ll have to find out 😉

during my salad days (read: no money to pay the owner), I came across a guy in a woodworking fb group asking if anyone knew where he could buy bulk wood screws and casters cheaper than Home Depot…
It seemed like a weird request so I DM’d him and asked about it, and he said he was a SAHM dad who cleared about $5-6k per month making workbenches in his garage after his kids went to bed: all sales via FB marketplace.
Design was pretty simple - 2x4 legs, frame, and 3/4” CDX ply top and shelf. He said he’d sell for $300-500 (size depending), and was about $100 into each table (ex labor).
Intrigued, I asked if I could Venmo him $50 for a bunch of pictures (he said yes): I created my own FB listing, asking ~$400 per table ($300 profit), and the orders started rolling in.
For about a year and half, I’d make and sell 10-20 tables a month out of my garage. I got so i could finish a table in 30 minutes, not including time spent grabbing materials or back and forth on Messenger.
If you can do math, that’s $5,000-8,000/per month in “table profits”. I suppose if I was better at doing my day job, it wouldn’t have been necessary - but we do what we need to do to survive.
You can just do things.
