Re: State Farm Offer.
MY question to you is did you go in debt $75,000-$125,000 like MOST Tica's did? I know the usual answer to that and its NO. Did you take a pay cut after 2 years ? Did you have to pay ALL expenses your first year like rent, payroll, basically everything? Did they "suggest" you have 3 staff ? Under your contract with an average book you know as well as I do you would have had 2 staff at best. You ever see a 97 trainee agent ask for a 3rd staff they would have told you NO, top 100 or not.
Okay, fair enough. You are well versed on your contract issues and it is not fair for me to be to judgemental, as I don't have the same contract. A couple notes of interest that you will appreciate:
1. I did take a paycut after 2 years and it took a couple years to get it back.
2. They paid all my expenses, as you indicated.
3. I did ask for a 3rd staff and actually did get it, but I do agree that was rare.
4. I did not go into substantial debt.
I wish you the best of luck as you move forward. I hope things work in the favor of the agents, as they are the ones that built this company.
