“Your book on financial planning is just great. I am reading it and it’s turning out to be simply a treasure. Made me remember that I should not forget my basics and what brought me to MDRT. Wow! The best part was in me emerging as the one of the top advisors in this financial year for my company out of its 1.1 million agents.”

“With 30 years experience as an insurance adviser I purchased Russell Collins’ ‘Skills that Sell’ with an expectation that it would be excellent and also reaffirm what I already know. I was only half correct; yes Skills that Sell is excellent, but it also taught me more about the business of offering insurance advice. ‘Skills that Sell’ should be compulsory reading for anyone new to advising on life insurance as well those you want to move up to the next level of insurance advice.”

Mark Thompson

” G’day Russell,
I finished your book over the weekend. It took me a couple of weeks as I was so enraptured by it, I was changing some of my systems/processes as I was reading it. It is a great read and I thank you for putting a Lifetime of Effort in writing.
I got so much out of it. ”

“What should you read after you think you have read everything about how to sell life insurance? Russell Collins new book! I’ve read scores of ‘how to’ books in my nearly 50 years in this great business. This one is the best as far as I’m concerned. A new ‘rookie’ as well as a seasoned veteran will find gems within its covers. Russell’s tips on questioning, on note taking, on presenting and on follow-up, are things that are as important today as they have ever been. Each time I re-read this book I find new insights. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have”

“A must read for every financial adviser who cares about their clients. Russell has given us a step by step review and raison d’être of what works in the marketplace and why. Every financial adviser can benefit from his time tested, integrity filled advice and guidance. One of the very best books on the subject that I have read in my 50 years of practice. Bravo!!”

“Brilliant!! At last a book published by a successful Adviser with a lifetime of Risk Insurance experience. Russell’s book illustrates his knowledge and commitment to his career. Whilst Russell’s expressed target market for his book is new Advisers with less than ten years’ experience and Advisers with ten to fifteen years’ experience, I believe all Advisers interested in becoming proficient in the Risk Insurance market, irrespective of their number of years’ experience, will gain tremendous insight and motivation from Russell’s book.”
