"I'm going to keep focused, keep motivating my team and help make their dreams come true. I love this business!"
Before joining NAA, Lynn believed she was at the end of her career after working 30 years in sales and marketing as a Sales Manager and Customer Service Specialist. However, she was unexpectedly let go due to downsizing in her department, and her future became uncertain. With a Business Management degree from Miller Hawkins College, Lynn began to search for the next step in her career.Encouraged by her financial planner, Lynn attended several business seminars in order to get a feel for what opportunities were available to her. She attended the 1st Annual Conference in Atlanta, Georgia and spoke to several agents and managers that made her realize the strength in leadership at NAA. By the end of the convention, Lynn had filled out all her contracting paperwork and dedicated herself to NAA's vision of protecting families.
Upon working at NAA, Lynn realized the quality and consistency of NAA's lead system. Instead of contacting people who had no desire or interest in protection, her clients were asking for her help. Finally, Lynn was able to meet "quality people from all walks of life." Not only that, she was helping both uninsured families and herself in her new career.
At NAA, Lynn found a completely different equation in work and benefits than she had ever experience; instead of spending double the hours for half the reward, she was now spending half the time making twice the amount of income. As a plus, her stress level was "reduced to zero." She had the independence that she had never experienced before in a career as well: "I always set my own appointments and closed 90% of them. In seven months, I was recognized as outstanding personal producer submitting over $100,000 in annual premium." Lynn credits her success to following the NAA roadmap, as well as participating in conference and training calls designed to give the agent a leg-up in sales.
Her benefits were not only personal; she enlisted the help of her family and showed them the NAA lifestyle: "One day I was talking to my mom (who was retired), and she asked me what she could do to help me. We decided that she could handle making appointments for me. I sent her 50 old leads, trained her on the phone, and the next thing I knew I was driving 300 miles per day running the appointments she was setting for me. My personal production was $42,000, my highest ever. From that time on, it became a family business. My mom still sets my appointments for me; she's 70 years old and still setting appointments and loving it!" Her mother is not the only one supporting her in her career; daughter Diane worked as Lynn's office manager before giving birth. Her second daughter is also eager to get into the family business under NAA and learn as much as she can from her mother.
Now Lynn has transitioned from a student of NAA to a leader herself; she tells her new recruits that they must "be coachable and proactive in learning, and use the tools available. Keep in touch with people that motivate and inspire your goals and dreams with NAA." Along with teaching new agents the NAA way, Lynn continues to grow her own business with only the sky as the limit.
During her frequent off time, Lynn enjoys travelling to exotic locations, as well as doting on her granddaughter, Emma Claire Franzen. She anticipates becoming debt-free within the next five years and, upon becoming financially free, she will start constructing her dream lake home.
