To pend or not to pend...

Pend- verb (used without object)

1. to remain undecided or unsettled
2. to hang
3. Obsolete. to depend

Do you remember a few weeks ago when Jason and I sent in paper applications? I sure do. It was a chore because Jason and I wanted to make sure that we filled out the apps correctly. Well, this week, we found out that we didn't.

This week, Jason and I are now having a fun contest to see how much applications we can have pend. Personally, I have 22 applications that are pending. I'm sure Jason has more since he had more pended business before this all started. My computer says $5,104.44! Earlier tonight, Josh and I watched the pended business grow right in front of our eyes. The numbers on the computer increased several times while we were sitting there. Normally I wouldn't think this is funny. I absolutely hate it when business pends. However, in this case, I think it is hilarious. I have a lot of work on my hands this week trying to unpend! So while you are eating your turkey, your cranberry sauce, and your big slice of pumpkin pie, I would like you to consider being thankful for clean paper apps that don't pend.

In the world of ebay...



...this rare Hawaiian surfer AFLAC duck is on sale right now for $71 + $9 shipping! This is by far the most expensive duck I've seen on ebay. Crazy huh?

I have to once again post my experimenting with packaging AFLAC plans together. It works better than I expected. Ben & I are working with a group right now and offered two packages. The first one is a package consisting of a level 1 cancer, level 1 accident, level 2 prp, and intensive care. The second one is what I called the bundle. It consisted of a level 2 accident and a level 1 sickness. I highly recommend this technique in presenting AFLAC. Ben & I 14 plans Monday between 4 people!

I don't know about you, but I've been working in 5th gear for the past month. I have 7 days to hit my super fireball award! Yikes!
