In 2021, he was working for a company that packaged meal kits. It wasn’t the most pleasant job for him. The work was good, but the atmosphere was traumatic.
“It wasn’t a good fit for me,” Caleb admitted. “Personally speaking, the colleagues I was working with were harassing me, mistreating me, making fun of me, always making jokes about my size (and build).
Caleb put up with the harassment and tried to concentrate on his work, but he had sent out applications and his resume in the meantime to find other opportunities.
“I was contacted by Jessica Brown,” said Caleb. “It was my break time (at work), and Jessica sent me texts (about the LegalShield opportunity), and I thought ‘Wow this is interesting, an opportunity to do something different, work from home, have the experience of working with new people, (and) building something great (that will) help other people build something great.’
“I called her on Friday, and we started (training) on Monday.”
Many times, when someone joins the company as an associate, they continue to work at their first job, sometimes part-time, until their LegalShield business begins to blossom. Sometimes that can be several weeks; for others, it’s been a matter of days. A lot depends on the amount of effort you put into the development of your career.
Caleb left his regular job right away. “I stopped working at my job because the harassment there was not healthy.”
Caleb said it has been nice working with a different group of people with a different mindset – not bullies like at his other job, but helpful, kinder people who are ready and willing to help whenever you need it.
Caleb said his biggest inspiration in the company has been Chris Shepherd, his Executive Director.
“He’s been there every step of the way,” said Caleb of Chris, “even during the challenging times. I am making a lot of progress.”
The challenging time Caleb speaks of is what happened in the Fall of last year (2021), only a month into his new opportunity, he had to return to Kenya for his mother’s funeral. He was gone for a month and could not communicate with anyone in the USA on a regular basis. He learned of other new associates who were taking off with their sales, recruits, and promotions while he was unable to even watch the training videos or the online meetings.
Once he returned, however, he was able to pick up right where he left off. He still had his standing as an associate and the same mentors who were there to help him get his business going again.
“Everyone was supportive. Jessica (Brown) was hands-on, and her words gave me strength. ‘We’ll always have your back’ she told me.”
Once Caleb became a member of LegalShield/IDShield, he learned about many of the benefits offered by the company. But, he said, he never realized what that meant until he got on the websites and learned about all the benefits offered to both Associates and Members.
“It’s more than I thought,” said Caleb. “Discounts for cars (and other merchandise and services), business information, and so much more. As an Associate it’s great. I can’t complain. So many great people, so much positivity, working to help others change their lives.
“On top of that,” he continued, “it’s all the support. LegalShield is the first company I’ve worked with that all the people are supportive. All the people want you to succeed. No backtalk, no politicking.
Caleb is a quiet-speaking, thoughtful person who seems shy at times and admits he is no salesperson. But he has been working harder to find people willing to listen to the LegalShield story.
“The very first approach, if they are interested, is introducing them to the company website and the orientation videos so they can make a decision for themselves. I’m not too much on convincing (people), but I believe the way everything is structured with the company websites, anybody could go there and look at it. One person (I talked to) looked at the website and said, ‘Wow, this is great. It’s definitely a 4.5.’”
Caleb shows the videos to potential members and associates whenever he can.
“A person can learn a lot from the websites. You don’t have to do a lot of talking yourself. Just show them the websites.” All the information a potential member or associate would need is there.
When asked what helps him stick with the company and continue working on his career, Caleb spoke of the inspiring words of our colleagues and their dedication to each of us.
“Listening to our bosses and associates about how far they have come in the business, they are such an inspiration. Chris especially has been a big influence. When the 50th anniversary (of the company) was coming up, he was receiving an award, and he stated the most important thing was about the anniversary and how important it was for us to have more people there.”
Caleb said the principal advice he can give to people interested in the business (at LegalShield) is, “Just get started, and there are so many benefits when you follow the system that is in place. A well-soiled tree bears its fruit.
It’s been an awesome experience. I want to say thank you for this opportunity – Chris, Jessica, the “big bosses” for letting work and helping us along the way, for being supportive. I’m really excited.
