7 Traits of Successful Agents

How far are you willing to go to be successful? If you follow and put these seven things into action, you will reap the rewards. I am sharing with you seven different traits of highly successful insurance agents.

Willing to Take Risks

Successful people are willing to bet on themselves.  

The Ability to Put In the Work

How likely are you to put in the action, day in and day out?

I can always do more, but I show up every single day to find my balance to accomplish my commitments.

Able to Admit When Wrong

Nobody ENJOYS being wrong, but successful people admit and learn from mistakes.

You have to be wrong to succeed.

Willing to Adapt

When things are not going well, are you able to take it in strides?

 Willing to Delegate

It’s good to have your hands in many areas of your business. By delegating, you can have others perform at their best while you fine-tune what’s next. 

 Willing to Invest in Themselves and Their Business

When you commit ALL IN – a snowball effect will happen by investing in yourself.

Talk About Ideas

When surrounded by others of likemindedness, my last thought is negativity or gossip.

Instead, I want to talk about what I want to do, where I want to go, and what is next for me.

A successful person is excited by starting something new and growing.

BONUS: See the Course – Stay the Course

No matter what happened during the day, if you didn’t have a sale, if you lack motivation or you’re scared of failure – you need to stay the course. Are your thoughts and conversations big, positive, exciting? If not, you might want to soul search what changes need to be made.


Being thankful is essential to invest back in yourself. Make sure to implement these seven things in your business so that you can see success NOW. What do you think about these seven traits?

For anyone that is looking to be better or to think bigger, I am detailing my favorite books that I have either read or listened to. I wholeheartedly believe in self-improvement, personal development, and working to be my best self. I urge you to take the information within the books and use the data to make adjustments and tweak it to better tailor it to your business. 

These are the five books that I recommend in no uncertain order: 

The Art of Closing the Sale by Brian Tracy – I listened to this every single day in order to get better. I engrossed myself in the methodology, and I would send this book to new agents when they were new and training in the business. 

The 10 X Rule by Grant Cardone – this book gives you the push you need to challenge yourself and your team. The advice within this book asks you to step outside of your comfort zone to see the bigger picture within your reach.

How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling by Frank Bettger – this book provides you with nuggets of wisdom that will take you to where you want to go to be successful.

There’s No Plan B For Your A Game by Bo Eason – this book challenges you to think bigger and go for it. He writes specific methods for achievement, such as making commitments and eliminating distractions so that anyone with a willingness to put in the work can achieve success. 

Way of the Wolf by Jordan Belfort – reveals his step-by-step sales and persuasion system that is proven to turn anyone into money eyed and leading sales individuals.
