#29: Turning non-agents into super sellers, with Patrick Bet-David

In Episode 28, Patrick laid out his vision for the insurance industry. We learned why he and his recruits are so serious about his agency’s mission, and the transformative value of life insurance.
What’s exciting is how Patrick is building his business at an exponential rate by converting people who know very little about insurance into super sellers and recruiters. Across the country, Patrick has more than 5,000 agents selling and recruiting – and it’s all growing at rates most people can’t even fathom.
As we continue with the highlights from Paul’s interview with Patrick, we’ll get more amazing insights and learn how he engages his recruits and exposes them to life-changing training.
