That is exactly what happens.Senior Life has a protected list because they want to control the agents instead of the other way around. It's a pretty stupid thing to do. If an agent does not want to work with a certain upline, they should be able to have a choice. Otherwise, SL won't be getting business from the agent that is not happy with their upline. They will just write with other companies.
Here's one more way of putting it. No one at SL "owns" any agent!! I'm sure there are plenty of "uplines" with SL who do have that mentality though. I don't see that Greg has that mentality, but sure looks like Jaymon (you) does!
