  • Episode 57: Listen To One of Our Top California Agents Share His Own Sales Strategy, Selling Tips & Success Stories!
    May 5 2025

    Listen to Ian, an elite Levinson agent, as he shares his ideas, sales concepts and secrets which help make him super successful in our industry. Bill will uncover Ian's continued success for the past 12 years even through the pandemic and difficult economic times. After listening to Ian and Bill, we guarantee that you will walk away with at least one sales idea to elevate your practice.

    Ian W. Bio:

    Ian began his career as a life insurance agent when he worked at a call center. After less than a year of working in the trenches, as a fast learner, he became the top producer. From there, he used his expertise and in-depth knowledge to expand beyond the corporate world by starting his own business and becoming an independent life broker.

    With over 15 years of financial services experience, Ian has a strong passion to serve his clients abundantly. He first does this by going above-and-beyond the norm of continuously staying up-to-date with the rigorous industry standards, underwriting regulations, and code of ethics.

    Secondly, he's contracted with more than 30 life and health carriers and licensed in more than 30 states. What this means is with a wider network, he's more available to better serve his clients and match them with literally the best life and health insurance rates among highly rated companies.

    Although, based on his title, it may seem as though he primarily serves federal employees, he can assure you, this is not the case. His services also extend to ANYONE looking for life insurance or medical coverage.

    In addition, Ian's firm understanding of all the underwriting specialties and nuances for many companies, is a big plus for his clients. He can easily pair them with the right company most suitable to their health, budget, and needs. This saves his clients tremendous time, money, and headaches.

    Ian also brings the highest degree of exceptional service. He listens thoroughly to all his clients' needs and works diligently with them to implement a well-grounded plan that helps meet their financial, health, and coverage concerns. He believes that putting his clients first and maintaining the utmost level of professionalism is a must that has never steered him wrong.

    For what he's accomplished, his clients are forever grateful for his high level of service, honesty, transparency, and integrity. They value him as a professional broker, adviser, and friend who genuinely cares about their well-being by solely looking after their interest only.
