I worked briefly out of college for an insurance company, and what you describe, is what was fairly standard training then, and I assume now. Stories like this give the entire industry a bad name. I guess for some, it’s just a numbers game for some. The more people you ask, the more names you get, the more calls you make, the more chance at sales you have.

Hopefully, when he calls to follow up in 2010 as he has planned, I can point him to this post and help him realize the errors in his ways.

It sounds like this guy, and probalby a lot more like him have not yet been trained on effective and proper use of social media. Old, school sales techniques are no longer just ineffective, they are detremental to your business. News of bad behavior travels much faster these days.
