The New Year At Golden Compass

So with the first month almost over and done with what exactly has changed? Well Fortunately for me I had just finished my pipeline call sheets which did take some of the pressure off my shoulders and got me to finally cross off the goal for the monthly scheduling. A really good feeling by the way, but unfortunately for me as I had mentioned in the previous blog about my online courses I was not able to pay for my online courses which is now being prolonged. I actually plan be starting them towards the beginning of February but I can only hope at this point. Anyways as for my 30 min. presentation I didn't get to present on the original date I had intended on (today) and was prolonged to Thursday. All in all this was a really good month and I'm really hoping for my presentation to go good.

Blog 11 Mentorship 10 hours check

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

• I am currently doing my mentorship at the golden compass Insurance Company.

2.   Who is your contact?

•  My contact is Alexander Weinberger the main boss at Golden Compass.

3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?

•  I have done a total of 111 hours of mentorship I am pretty much done at this point.

4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

• Throughout the 10 hours of service there have been many experiences I had witnessed for example Associating with actually clients to even being kicked out of their business because they didn't want to have to deal with a bunch Insurance guys. There were even times I had to go onto pipeline and organize contact information for later uses. that is basically what I did.

Senior Project, The Holiday

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you over the break with your senior project?

• For my Senior project I did a total of 28 hrs. over the break and currently I am working on taking classes to get my very own license to insurance. So in order to get Alex's help to passing that test we both made an agreement that as long as I keep coming in and helping out he'd be more than willing to help out with my senior project.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

•  The importance of organization. Solely because now that Chris is gone and left unfinished pipeline contact info I'm the one that is stuck inputting everything.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

• I would most likely talk to my mentor solely because of the fact that he has had multiple experiences where people helped him out with his business or had just wasted his time and made the company lose money along along with them.
  

December At Golden Compass

                  So where to start off. . . hmmm well I just remember that during the month of November that I had gotten so used to imputing so many memos with Chris it was a hard pattern for me to get out of. To my surprise when I had gotten back from my little break away from mentorship I arrived to realize Chris had left to pursue his dream as a police officer. It surprised us all but we could only wish him the best and hope he did get his dream, but on another note I still continued to do pipeline but there was a moment when I was kind of feeling a bit sluggish that day Alex had a talk with me saying that " for whatever reason you have to do something don't just go in for the hours that you are required but go over that limit and if possible go home home and keep on brushing up on information to help you further in your job because true success will only begin to blossom when you put forth that effort". Then, like a timer going off something clicked in me that day and I was reminded why I chose to do Insurance as my topic. With everything coming me back to me I decided to confront Alex and ask him what the requirements would be in order to get my license to sell insurance. At first he seemed to have a troubled look on his face as if thinking "he's only 18 and wants to do insurance? it's not due able". So as we had continued our discussion at lunch he had decided to help me but only with me putting in the effort of paying for the classes I need to even consider taking this test. These classes will be taking approximately 52 hours of my time and will be costing me $200 of my own money. A small price to pay in my opinion for a small stepping stone in what could be a huge success for me later on in life. Well that happened and Alex just told me I have my very own goal to meet of imputing 1400 contacts on pipeline by january 1st! Of course this will be a challenge but I'm sure this is just a test to see whether or not I'd be more than willing to put forth that 110% of effort. So hopefully by the time I do my January blog I have paid for my license and I have finished imputing everything into pipeline.     

 

R.I.P

Golden In November

So with the month finally coming to an end I will write out my thoughts on what I have done to contribute towards my senior project due during my senior year. well as for hours towards mentorship I am finally done with Alex giving me a grand total of 52.5 hours! Fortunately for me Alex has allowed me to continue doing my remaining 60 hours at the company. As for what I have been doing at the company, unlike last month instead of doing the typical marketing Chris and I were behind on calls he had made in the  past and never recorded. So for the past two weeks we spent man to man bonding time organizing all of the files. I'm not gonna lie it was pretty stressful at first especially tiring since I had to do this during my own time, but at the end of the week when I had received my final 11 hours for the past two weeks I did end up feeling pretty warm and fuzzy inside. As for research I have been completely lagging it lately so I should probably start doing that. Well that was my month of November and happy Thanksgiving.

1. "I reviewed the rule of three or writing an EQ"

2.Review the following EQs 

 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?

• yes I believe this EQ follows the rules but the only thing have going against it for now is if they could specify a little more on what type of leg Injury that way they could get more information based on the question they want answered.

b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?

• This EQ was somewhat general especially with the word "conviction" and how to secure it. the word choice for me at least was to general and maybe if it was specified a bit more or at least when dealing with an investigation what type of things are you investigating should probably be mentioned in this EQ.

c.What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer? 

• I don't think this EQ follows the rule of 3 solely because there isn't much research that could be made on this topic it is more opinion based.
  

d. How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

• This does not meet the rule of 3 however you can tell that a point was attempted to be made when creating this EQ. To make it more exact however they should add where the chronic pain is coming from.

3.  What is the most effective way to having your employees contribute as a whole when dealing with the very growth of your business of insurance?
