David Duford last updated on November 4, 2021

I have been in the insurance industry for three years now and I can say I have FINALLY found my home.

I was sold all kind of fluff, mlm crap, and crickets. I would encourage anyone in this industry not to give up because this is an awesome career.

David is all for helping people succeed. David gives you a wealth of information on how to get it done in this business.

David does not give you a bunch of fluff and rah-rah. He is honest and not a jerk.

The only thing I can say is I have a lot of information to keep up with being with David’s agency. I know that if I do not reach my goals, I can only blame myself. The information and David is there.

I have the honor and pleasure of working with David Duford since 2015 to present. David has done what no other Mentor/Friend has done since ontaining my license back in 2004 in teaching me how to really be a top producer. David gives 110% support in being independent and if I choose to build an agency the right way. Now I am going 100% On-line and not have to drive to see my clientele. This has been possible since teaming up with my Mentor David Duford. If you are looking for a real mentor that will help you to become a top producer then look no further and book an appointment to talk to him and see if you are a fit to joining his Agency. You will not regret your decision.

David and his team are all very professional when teaching new people about this business. Even seasoned veterans can enjoy learning new tips and tricks for carriers. Dave has easy to use websites with links to get the job done when out in the field. He and his team are only a phone call away if you are out with a client and need advice.

It took me awhile to really get going in David's group due to personal reasons. David never acted upset and was extremely patient with me despite not making money on me right away. He tells you the honest truth about the business and how to succeed. Tons of educational material and he personally teaches multiple times a week. Give him a try and you will quickly see why joining the Duford Insurance Group is a great idea.

The thing about being a new agent is there are so many moving parts and you don’t know what you don’t know. David’s training and resources addresses and handles new agent jitters and uncertainty. No matter what question you ask David will take the time to get you the answer, no matter what it is. He is sooooo patient. He doesn’t dismiss you. On the contrary he will seek you out to see what you need.

After dealing with another IMO that was ultimately a shady MLM IMO I was 2nd guessing the biz all together until I found David. He was and continues to be upfront about everything, nothing to hide, honest opinions, doesn't try to push you in any direction that you don't want to go. No kind of MLM whatsoever and he knows the biz inside and out. I'm in the biz less than 1 year and I broke 6 figures within my 1st 5 months onboard with David.

For a self starting independent, Duford Insurance Group is very easy to work with. They are very responsive. I get emails about how to improve my business or how they can add value to my business. Their youtube and intenal video content is amazing. Most other IMO's email me their incentive trip details and try to push my production to them. There is no shortage of IMO's in the final expense space. His focus on finding the best value and solution for the client. That makes it easy to build a business for long term

Working with David Duford is simple and "no contracts", vested in your production day one! David, an author & experienced in Life, Medicare, and Annuities, was why I sought him out. I did have a few years experience prior to going Independent, but his training and tools, and updates on marketing, helps any agent. It's all remote, but that is the way business works now in recruiting. Listen to what David teaches before you make a mistake of signing a contract with any IMO/FMO.

I have worked with other agencies in the past almost leaving the industry all together for lack of support and training. David Duford is the most transparent agency owner I have ever met. His trainings are the best I have ever experienced. After working with David, I am excited again about the industry and my new skillsets. Highly recommend his agency especially for new agents. He tells it like it is and doesn't sugar coat anything.

David Duford’s insurance agency has changed my life! If you are looking for a place where you can grow at a rapid rate, increase your bank account beyond your imagination, learn from an expert who is fun, loving, exciting and thoughtful, look no more.David is an insurance expert and you will become one too, he provides everything you need from the best commission rates to the best insurance carriers especially if you want to do telephone sales from home, the best telephone and in home scripts he will teach you everything you need to say Word for Word to close the sale. He also will teach you how to close the sale in the client’s home at the kitchen table.And if that’s not enough he provides live training via zoom where you can hear live telephone calls of other agents closing sales and allows the group to critique the closer…it is unprecedented.I could go on and on and on but in closing reach out to David Duford you won’t regret it!Tracy O.

David Duford is an incredible asset to the Final Expense Industry. As an insurance agent, and internet community leader to thousands of agents, I can appreciate how well David embodies a marketing model that consistently delivers a value first content approach. This has truly earned the respect of myself, and thousands of other agents in this industry who have learned something from watching David.
