Most people think life insurance is only about protecting income, but one of the most powerful ways to position it is around their mortgage. In this episode, Colter shares how he went from struggling to sell a handful of life apps a year to writing over 200 by using the “mortgage protection play.” We talk about why the best time to bring it up is when someone’s buying a home, how to frame coverage so it feels simple and doable, and how to open conversations in a way that gets customers reflecting instead of brushing you off. If you want your team members consistently selling 100+ life apps a year, this strategy is a game changer.#LifeInsuranceSales #MortgageProtection #InsuranceTraining #TMP #StateFarmAgent #InsuranceAgent #StateFarm #TeamMemberPerspective✅ Questions about enrolling your team in our Friday Live Training & Wednesday Live Role Play Calls?

Team Members don’t rise to their goals—they fall to their systems. In this episode, Colter unpacks how systems and persuasion work together to drive consistent production. You’ll learn why preventing objections is more powerful than “overcoming” them, the common mistakes that trigger resistance, and the exact strategies to meet customers where they are, pivot with confidence, and keep sales pressure out of the conversation.
Accountability drives production...but most agents struggle to implement it without feeling like they’re micromanaging. In this episode, Colter breaks down two proven strategies, commission reviews and consistent training, that keep team members motivated, focused, and producing at a high level.✅ Questions about enrolling your team in our Friday Live Training & Wednesday Live Role Play Calls?

In this episode, we’re breaking down two simple tips to make life and health insurance sales easier for your team. It starts with making it make sense to the person you're selling to—do they have a young driver on the policy? Would their family be left without income if something happened? Keep it logical, not emotional. From there, pick one need and start the conversation there. It naturally simplifies the process. Once you do that, the life insurance funnel becomes easy to use, coverage increases, and revenue follows.#InsuranceSales #TMP #LifeInsuranceSales #TMPPodcast #salessuccess #teammemberperspective #insurance #salestraining #motivation #insuranceagent #statefarmagent #salesprocess #mindset #colterjohnson #salestips #insurancereview #insurancesales #policysales #agency #simplesells #simplesales #lifeinsurance #healthinsurance ✅ Questions about enrolling your team in our Friday Live Training & Wednesday Live Role Play Calls?

The first step to becoming a top-tier insurance agent is self-awareness—looking in the mirror, not the window. Success comes from recognizing your strengths, owning your weaknesses, and making intentional improvements. The best agents operate with a carnivore mindset—proactive, deliberate, and intentional about who they learn from and surround themselves with.✅ Questions about enrolling your team in our Friday Live Training & Wednesday Live Role Play Calls?
