Selling Life Insurance: Inside the Mind of the 2025 Ultimate Telesales Champion

Our mind is STILL blown. 😳

In just 2.5 days, Elvir Bazdarevic from Modern Financial wrote $39,846 in annual premium, became the 2025 Ultimate Telesales Showdown Champion, and walked away with the belt 🏆

In this episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast, we unpack exactly how he did it — and how you can level up your telesales game without becoming a pushy, high-pressure closer.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How Elvir prepared a week in advance to hit the Showdown with insane momentum

• What it's like to compete in a room full of top telesales agents ringing the bell all day

• Why community and competition can help you shatter your own production ceilings

• The principled sales process Elvir uses to ethically move clients to a better place

• How he wrote 19 applications / 19 families in 2.5 days

• The mindset shifts that took him from emotional, frustrated agent… to calm, consistent, half-million-dollar producer 💰

• How he helps agents go from struggling to keep anything on the books… to $40K–$50K+ a month issue paid

• Why "all leads suck" (and why that truth will actually set you free)

• How to use scripts, frameworks, and bootcamps to turn your own voice into a killer sales tool

This isn't just about a belt. It's about:

• Serving families at the highest level

• Selling ethically with a principle-based process

• Plugging into a community that raises your standards, your activity, and your income

 

If you're a life insurance agent, watch this if:

• You feel stuck blaming leads, vendors, or markets

• You're tired of inconsistent weeks and emotional roller-coasters

• You want to learn telesales from someone quietly writing $500K+ in a year

• You're craving a proven framework, real coaching, and a room of people who actually push you higher
