Agent Contracting
Postal & Federal Market
There are over 2.1 million government employees worldwide. Of those, 75k+ employees retire every year. This is a huge market. There are all types of employees; hourly, salary, blue collar, white collar, full-time, and part-time. Most have outstanding benefits, some do not. This is a market which has it all.
The Federal and Postal Service lane is for the agent who is not afraid of the challenge of dealing with a largely stubborn audience. It takes about 6 months to become comfortable and successful in this market. Agents must be comfortable in an office environment and a corn field because potential clients are everywhere. Further, knowledge of technology is key. Distant selling, CRM usage, computer presentations and use of Zoom or similar screen sharing software is required.
NOTE: A Windows based laptop is also required for this market.
While it’s more involved than other groups to start, once the bubble is pierced, the reward is superb. The biggest payoff is life-long clients. Available products are: short-term disability, life insurance, supplemental savings, and annuities; these are all available in the Federal and Postal Service marketplace. The active, system-following agent maintains a comfortable income of about $160k annually.
