I heard this story at a Toastmasters meeting I went to as a guest yesterday.
It was told by another Insurance Agent. He told us stories about when he started selling life insurance, he would sell to just about anyone he saw on the street, young and old.
Then 1 day he came across an 82 year old granny, cornered her and started his sales pitch about a savings plan. Before he could end his pitch, the granny looked at while starting to get annyoed and remarked... "Insurance??? Young man, at my age, I don't even buy GREEN BANANAS!"
