Success in the insurance industry isn’t just about selling policies—it’s about finding the right opportunity, working with the right team, and having the right leadership to help you grow. Rashadd’s journey from retail management to becoming a top insurance agent is a powerful testament to how the right environment can change everything.
### **Seeking More Than a Dead-End Job**
For nearly four years, Rashadd worked as a retail manager at Best Buy. Despite being a hard worker, he felt stuck in a dead-end job with limited opportunities for financial growth. Like many ambitious individuals, he knew there had to be something better. That’s when he started looking for sales positions online, eventually landing an interview with an insurance company.
At first, insurance didn’t seem appealing to him. It wasn’t something he had ever considered, but after going through the interview process, he realized how **simple and effective the insurance business could be**. It wasn’t complicated, and it offered something he had never experienced before: **unlimited earning potential and career growth**.
### **Breaking Records and Finding New Opportunities**
Rashadd started working in insurance and quickly became a top producer, generating **$20,000 in production in just his second month**. He was making more money than ever before, and for the first time, he felt like he had control over his financial future. However, despite his success, he began to see limitations in his ability to help clients. Some people couldn’t get covered due to **health conditions or policy restrictions**, and that didn’t sit well with him.
He wanted to find a company that offered **more flexibility, better support, and a system that allowed him to help as many people as possible**. That’s when he reached out to me—multiple times, in fact. At first, I was skeptical. Why would someone already doing well want to make a switch? But after speaking with him, it became clear: **he wasn’t just looking for another job—he was looking for the right business model and leadership to support his long-term vision.**
### **Thriving with the Right System**
Rashadd made the move, and his results spoke for themselves. In his **first month**, he issued **$20,000 in production again—his best financial month in the industry at the time.** Even though he was learning new products and systems, it was still **final expense insurance**, and the fundamentals were the same. But now, he had access to **better tools, a more efficient process, and a broader range of coverage options** for his clients.
### **Why the Change Was Worth It**
One of the biggest advantages Rashadd found was the **efficiency of the process**. With the right tools, he no longer had to deal with excessive paperwork, lengthy approval times, or unnecessary call verifications. Instead, he could focus on what truly mattered—**helping people get the coverage they needed without unnecessary delays**.
Beyond just tools, he also gained access to **a wider variety of lead sources**, giving him more opportunities to connect with potential clients. **Instead of relying solely on traditional methods, he now had access to TV leads, live transfers, and digital marketing strategies that significantly increased his reach.**
### **Mentorship, Support, and True Leadership**
One of the most valuable aspects of his transition was the mentorship and leadership he received. **In this business, who you work with matters.** Having the right mentors who are truly invested in your success can make all the difference.
Rashadd appreciated the hands-on training, the open communication, and the fact that he was never held back from trying new strategies. **Instead of limitations, he found support. Instead of bureaucracy, he found mentorship.**
I’ll never forget when I flew from Florida to New Orleans just to meet him face-to-face and show him how much his work was valued. **That’s the kind of culture we are building—one where every agent knows they are appreciated, supported, and set up for success.**
### **Building a Business and a Legacy**
Now, Rashadd isn’t just a top producer—**he’s building a team.** He’s hiring agents in multiple states, expanding his reach, and working toward his ultimate goal: **building a business that creates financial freedom for himself and others**.
