Insurance agents and financial advisors are being taught outdated marketing and sales strategies to grow their businesses. Cold calling, seminars, online leads, networking groups and display ads are showing less returns. At the same time, according to Google, every 5 seconds someone is searching for a financial or insurance product to meet their needs, yet most agents are unaware of how to reach this growing market. Shift is a compilation of exclusive, rarely-before-seen techniques, strategies and best practices used right now to increase sales exponentially using digital marketing. These are not taught in magazines, books or courses today simply because most people won’t share them.

Using his years of success stories and behind-the-scenes access to the frontlines of what’s working now, Jeremiah has been part of teams that have generated over two million leads in the insurance space, leading to over $300,000,000 in commissions paid out. He has documented the most inspiring, entertaining and duplicatable techniques his teams and front line advisors are using TODAY to SHIFT industry thinking to solve these problems.

Halloween has spread around the world, yet its associations with death and the supernatural as well as its inevitable commercialization have made it one of our most puzzling holidays. How did it become what it is today? Trick or Treat is the first book both to examine the origins and history of Halloween and to explore in depth its current global popularity. Festivals like the Celtic Samhain and Catholic All Souls’ Day have blended to produce the modern Halloween, which has been reborn with new customs in America—but there are also related but independent holidays, especially Mexico’s Day of the Dead. Lisa Morton lifts the cobwebs off everything from the explosion in popularity of haunted attractions to the impact of events like the global economic recession, as well as the effect Halloween has had on popular culture through literary works, films, and television series. Taking us on a journey from the spectacular to the macabre, this book is a treat for anyone who wants to peep behind the mask to see the real past and present of this ever more popular holiday.
