Life Changing

This podcast literally changed my life. The amount of incite this platform provides is beyond any training that I previously received. I went from $20K in a year to $24K in a month by applying the techniques. I listen to the overcoming objections episodes weekly while driving. Thank you Roger, Chris, and Zach

Fake Garbage

Do better, you can find cheaper courses elsewhere. This show is nothing more than a glorified sales pitch, it gives you no useful insights for life insurance agents. The latest episode toe speaker even tells you directly they are not going to do anything but tell you to buy their course. Completely fake garbage that does nothing but try to sell you a course you can find for cheaper elsewhere.
