For agents working in the field, leaving the house early, spending long hours on the road, and traveling out of town keeps their focus solely on work. They might think about work from sun-up to sundown, and when they come home, they can check out and relax. However, when you’re an independent agent selling remotely from home, distractions abound.
You may have the freedom to work from anywhere, but that also means you have more flexibility, which can sometimes be a double-edged sword. You might think, “Sure, I can go to lunch” or “I can help out with this task,” and before you know it, your workday is interrupted. Life happens—your delivery arrives, the cat or dog does something, or you get caught up in a conversation—and it’s easy to let those distractions take over your day.
Unlike field agents who can compartmentalize their work and handle life’s issues later, independent agents working from home often get pulled away by these distractions. The problem is, when you’re not focused on your work—presenting, selling, and helping clients—it becomes harder to stay productive.
