You may want to find some agents with a better work ethic.

Make $100,000 just working a few hours a week!

Worlds Easiest Part Time Job

I think if I could make $100,000 working part-time...I would go ahead and step it up to the full 40-hours.

The name should be changed from "Learn & Earn" to "Churn & Burn"....

There are a few on this forum that would be very proud of you.

Don't be surprised if you receive several e-mails asking, either how you did it or wanting you to go to work for them. Anyone come to mind?

You're obviously paying them 10% or less based on those numbers but yes, it's good for many people and insurance in the internet era doesn't require long hours to achieve success.

You'd have better even results having them work between 8 to 10AM and then 5/6 to 9 PM, statistically speaking.

I want to make sure I understand this offer. Is this $1000 a week salary? Guaranteed with some upside when I close 4 or 5 deals a week?

Or is this a straight commission opportunity, $1000 minus a whole lot of expenses?

The first one is a decent (I wouldn't call it good) deal for a rookie, the second isn't.

Tom
Let's do the math. 4 deals at an average $50 monthly premium is $200. At 50% commission, that's $100. With a 9 month advance, that's $900 gross, not including the cost of leads.

Math works, unless you take into consideration that the commission should be 100%.

So Tom, what the hell are you doing to earn your $900? All you've ever talked about is how you can recruit, not how you impart your vast knowledge of insurance.

In addition you are having your "agents" sell the policy that is easiest to sell, not the policy that is the best for their clients. Sounds like a lose, lose, win (for Tom) situation.

Once your "agents" realize that you really are nothing more than a carnival barker and are cheating them and in turn they are cheating their clients (out of good coverage), they will leave you. You can defend what you are doing until you drop dead from exhaustion, but you are nothing more than another NAA type of shop. Screw everyone because there is another sucker born everyday.

I think I speak for 95% of those of us posting on this board when I suggest you simply go away and pimp yourself elsewhere.

By the way, the reason I'm on you like ugly on STI is because if I just keep one person from believing your crap, I've added value to this board - more than anyone can say about you.

Rick,

I just got off the phone with PJP. Paul is a class act and someone I will look forward to doing business with.

This will eliminate a great deal of paperwork headaches for me and allow me to do business across the country in life insurance.

Thanks

Re: $1000/week - Good For A Rookie             Go to Top

This is for all the new guys. No not the experienced agents who just recently joined the board and have minimal posts, but the new agent just getting into the business.

Beware of posts like this, do not and I repeat DO NOT jump on the first train running and think that your going to make a quick buck. Chances are, you are going to run into someone who wants to prosper off of your hard work.

Guess what, your going to make mistakes, bad decisions, etc... That is just part of life, however, there are those on this board who can provide sound advice and guidance. I personally have corresponded with a few and have be very pleased with the results. No one has you "you need to do this or that", they have given recommendations and options. Bottom line, no one is going to fill your bank account but you.

You then may ask, how do I know which ones to trust. Well first of all, do not be put off by a posters, crude or sarcastic post, that is just their forum personality (however in some, it may be real life). In all, most of the people here will help you, not hold your hand, but advise on how to do it. To find the ones, that will truly help, pick a section and go back and read from the very first post to the end. Then pick the next section and do the same. You will eventually get a feel for those who will offer guidance and advice and then you have those who are pimping their product. Then contact those and ask questions.

I only make this recommendation because it would be so easy for someone to read the very first post and say hey that's for me, $1000 per week, whoa boy I'm gonna get rich. It ain't that easy. Take it from a new guy into this business.

Good luck.

In this business, no mater where you are and who you deal with.. you will find sharks and dolphins. A shark will find a way to eat you and a dolphin will help you survive.

Simply put myinsurebiz is a shark. If you decide to swim with him, don't be surprized if you get bit.

Is he the only one? No, but right now he is the most obvious.
