We were lucky to catch up with Will Baez recently and have shared our conversation below.
Will, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Almost all entrepreneurs have had to decide whether to start now or later? There are always pros and cons for waiting and so we’d love to hear what you think about your decision in retrospect. If you could go back in time, would you have started your business sooner, later or at the exact time you started?
Yes, I would’ve started sooner. I started my business on 2020, before this I was working on a warehouse, job that I hated althought It paid the bills, Someone has showed me the oportunity in the insurance business around 2018, but at that moment I didn’t beleive I could ever be a salesman. I don’t regret about my starting, just have to say It would have been better starting earlier because this industry requires us to walk it thruogh and the sooner you walk the better.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am an insurance agent/specialist, for some people it will sound like another annoying salesman, but let me tell you this: “I am a salesman, but I look solutions for you”, If the right solution is nothing, be sure you will get non insurance.
My specialty is HEALTH insurance, meaning, medical coveraga, dental, vision, accident, cance, critical illnes, short term, disability, out of pocket expenses and many other.
I do help clients finding the right insurance, explaining what they qualify for and not, having many products to offer give me the advantage of provide the right product.
I do enjoy when a clients says “thanks for your advise”, even if they get nothing. I like to do right because it feels awesome.
Buitl a team has taken me to the next level, without them I am nothing. My agency name is BAEZ AGENCY LLC, also known as Baez Insurance. We have the must qualify professionals in the insdutry! We are located at 101 E Park Blvd, Ste 320, Plano, Texas 75023. Office phone number 800-793-2239.
Any advice for managing a team?
It is a hard work, but it has it rewards, if you want to manage a team you have to be honest with them lead by example because these two things will build trust between you all, and trust will lead to success.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
At the beginning, I felt unmotivated and tired, because I found the wrong people in my way, although this never stop me from keep going. At some moments I had to do side hustles (like uber, amazon flex, lyft and doordash) in order to pay my bills, but I always focus back on the insurance industry, because I beleive this industry can change your life if you put enough amount of work onto it. in 2020 after going thru about 4 different agencias I decided to start my own agency, and nowadays I push everyone to get their own team/agency.
