There are those that can accept the inevitable and others that can’t as in the case of a wealthy eighty-five year old banker by the name of Bill Johnstone. First, we’ll look back on his life when he was being molded into a success making machine. Bill was always early to work and never called out sick unless it was a life or death situation. Bill loved making money and lots of it due to the fact that he was brought up in a poor environment. Bill excelled in everything he tried, be it school, sports and sales. In high school he was a straight “A” student and the class president. He was also the star quarterback of his high school team, but when Bill got his first job as an insurance salesman after graduating high school he knew he found his calling. Bill was offered scholarships to major universities for his outstanding athletics as a quarterback that he ultimately turned down because of his new job as an insurance salesman.
After settling into his new job things were going really well for him. He won many awards year after year for about five years then things started slowing down and he was no longer the top salesman of the company. Bill got a little too comfortable always being at the top and started losing focus and that’s when other agents took it to their advantage and started out selling Bill. This really frustrated him not being at the top anymore and not tending to his client’s needs like he had always done before. His clients started dropping their policies, and going with other agents at the office behind his back, and before he had a chance to react he was called into his boss’s office and let go. Bill said to his boss “That’s not fair, I have worked harder than anyone else in this office, and been on top longer than anyone else, and now this is the thanks I get!”
“Bill, I’m sorry, but this is business and you know you have quotas to meet, and if you’re not meeting those numbers, well you know what I mean.” Please understand you’ve been valuable to the company for many years but I have to have dependable agents that can keep getting those numbers for the company. I don’t like this anymore than you do,” explained his boss.
