Maybe try the search feature, see if that brings anything up.

Dont mean to be rude, but I have noticed that you post up a ton of questions that can be found in a few seconds with the search function. If you are really going to make it in this business I would think it would serve you well to sharpen up your research skills, because when you actually get into dealing with prospects the questions will be flying at you fast and you need to know where and how to find the answers.

In reference to your question, NAA is a joke and you should away as fast as you can!

Are you talking about the National Aviation Association? What is NAA? I really wish someone would give me some information on them.

Maybe STI can fill us in. He rarely posts anything anymore?

P.S. Anyone have any idea where I can get a customer record management program?

Ryan, your post is not rude. It's a godsend.

I have a friend that went there. They specialize in motgage life insurance. Send direct mail and then sell the leads to agents. They make their money selling leads and training material to new agents. It's a multi level marketing organization. He spent more than he made.

Perhaps you could divide it up into 250 four post threads. That might make it for easier reading.

I was pitched by NAA rep.

I hear different things from both sides of the fence...

What's the deal with this company?

With 100+ posts here I'm surprised you're asking this question. For anyone that already has their license there is no reason on the planet to join NAA unless you're into wasting your time and money...period.

Multiply that 100 posts that you mentioned by Babe Ruth's lifetime batting average to come up with a more accurate number.

I am not defending NAA is any way shape or form, however this post is totally inaccurate. NAA does not make money on "selling leads". They make their money on the 30+ points that they override their entire organization on. If anything they eat a little bit of the lead cost...very little...but a little.

Dude....just read the thread. Fix a sandwich and huge glass of milk and get to reading. Then, if you are still wanting more info...just google the phrase "naa complaint". Hope you have a few months.

But....what if you really believe that you can make a difference in 100% of your client's lives by selling them over-priced non-med policies with less coverage than they could get elsewhere.

Actually....this is not accurate. If you look at their system and see how many times they re-sell a lead, you will come to a different conclusion. Dude, in my opinion, they are worse than Netquote.com ever thought about being.

But, you are right about the huge-a$$ spread on their contracts. When I got suckered into it, I was at 55%...my manager was at 85%...and he was direct to someone with at least a 125%. So, when I made $550...one of them made $300 and the other made $400. Yep...I just consider it a damn expensive education.

Not trying to be Mr. Noble here, but as a result of that experience, the most that I will ever make on a spread is 10%. I like to bring agents in as high as possible and give them every opportunity to succeed and make all the money that they can. More power to them!!! (And of course...if they make money...then I make money. Capitalism is a wonderful system.)

Hey...we almost agree on something.

I actually do understand exactly how their system works. Right now it takes about $40-$45 to deliver the maximum number of leads possible in the mortgage market on a national basis. They charge about $33 on their top contract and make some additional cash when some...not all.. of the aged leads are re-sold. With the gross inefficiency of the way they mail, their raw cost could actually be a little higher.

That said, it's not "how they make their money"...period. I've seen this arguement splattered throughout this post and it's just not true. They make their money on insurance, just like every other IMO. Any cash left over on lead sales pales in comparision to their overrides.
