Company Update
ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / December 7, 2023 / Having built multiple successful businesses from the ground up, John Wetmore is now diving into mentorship and following his passion helping other entrepreneurs to achieve the same.
John Wetmore, founder of Family First Life Agent Force and Managing Partner at Integrity Marketing Group, had built his career from nothing and is now an expert resource in the insurance space. His mission is to cultivate meaningful connections with insurance professionals, agencies, and entrepreneurial minds who are driven by growth, as well as those harboring innovative business ideas within the insurance vertical. For this audience, John has just unveiled his new website - https://johnwetmore.com/ - as the ultimate resource to get started on growth strategies and building a sustainable business.
As the founder of a $200 million dollar business, managing partner at a firm of 6,000 employees serving over 11 million clients, and engineer of three other businesses' million dollar growth and acquisition, John's sales experience and expertise has proven itself. Now, John's mission is to empower as many other sales reps, insurance agents, insurance agency owners and entrepreneurs as possible.
John shares that, "Across all industries, the average sales success rate is a mere 3%. This varies between verticals and between salespeople, but it's not so surprising that closing deals poses a challenge and commission doesn't come too easily. What's actually shocking is that over 40% of sales reps report they feel unprepared for their calls. This isn't necessarily due to a lack of effort, but due to a lack of training and mentorship in the sales rep's industry."
John continues, "Within the insurance space specifically, more than 90% of new agents quit the business within the first year, which increases to over 95% when extended to five years. New agents can feel an immense pressure to be instantaneously successful without support and when they don't see results, they decide the career just isn't meant for them."
This is where John Wetmore is bridging the gaps for agents and agencies searching for growth and success. Wetmore has been able to convert his expertise in selling and building wholly effective sales teams into simplistic, valuable, and practical formulas that can be implemented by anyone with an entrepreneurial mindset.
John's team averages $1,200 to $1,500 per life insurance policy sold and last year five of his agents earned a million dollars each. John states "It's proof that with dedication and hard work, outstanding achievements are possible in this field."
Just one of John's successful mentees - Zac - entered the insurance industry and Wetmore's sales training program at the young age of 22. Not only was Zac excited to learn, he was tenacious in his growth mindset. John began to coach Zac on a daily basis, teaching him successful sales techniques and strategies until, at the age of 25, he became the youngest managing partner at Integrity. Now, Zac is a role model for others starting their careers and John maintains a close business relationship to discuss new strategies, share insights, and collaborate on building their respective businesses.
While John has been mentoring agents and agencies for the latter half of his career, he has now expanded this practice to offer group training, keynote speaking services, and 1 on 1 mentorship for agencies or entrepreneurs who want to scale their businesses or be able to sell.
John continues to create supplemental content daily to provide insights and expertise to those learning at a distance, This content includes podcasts, social media posts, features in publications, in depth blog posts on his new website, and a newsletter coming soon that will be worth subscribing to.
With John's career experience, his specialty is working with small- and medium-sized agencies to scale their revenues and increase their close rate in a sustainable way. He is always inspired by agencies' determination and is keen to work with them directly to build and scale their ideas into fruition.
John is no stranger to the stage and has loved becoming a dynamic and inspiring speaker that elevates events, conferences, and workshops. John has attended events across the country to speak and enjoys traveling to be able to reach more groups and a wider audience.
As John strives to aid more and more agents via as many channels as possible, followers can eagerly await new podcast episodes with the top names in insurance such as Reminder Media, Next Play Podcast, Insurance Syndicate, Life Insurance Academy, and Cody Askins; the release of an upcoming book; and a weekly newsletter that will provide insight into the insurance industry, quick sales tips, and more.
Drawing from his own experience of building up and selling multiple multimillion dollar businesses, John's strength has been in creating a robust growth roadmap adaptable to the unique processes and personnel of different agencies. His role in mentoring is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the business' position, its goals for the future, and opportunities for success. John is adept at guiding businesses to enhance their strengths while improving their weaknesses.
In John's words, "I believe in helping as many people as possible get everything they've ever wanted in life. It's exciting every time I work with new agents and agencies because there is always growth potential, so if the business is ready to scale then I am dedicated to providing all the expertise I can to get it there."
