When you go through a traditional IMO, you get the street level commission. The only override is the IMO. The only way MLM's work is by cutting the commissions for the newbie's. There is no other way to pay 4, 5, 6 or however many levels NAA pays.

There are companies out there that pay 133% and more so you can recruit agents and pay them 100%

I know, I know, you don't care about spelling. But as a consumer of products and services, if I received a letter from you with the spelling and grammatical errors you make, I wouldn't think you were too intelligent. Therefore, I wouldn't do business with you. If you don't take pride in at least learning how to spell, how solid could your advice be? Just my own personal opinion.
I'll say this, you are probably working the right market. Chasing those $50 dollar apps every night. I personally prefer to work daytime hours and work with business owners who allow me to handle not only their life insurance, but their health insurance and their retirement dollars. If I sent them letters with the spelling and grammatical errors you display on this board, they would no doubt think less of the advice I give.
You can take it for what it's worth. It's not meant to be hostile. It's meant to be constructive criticism.
If you want to know about the conference, simply contact your upline or NAA directly and ask if they can supply you with a list of reps that attended. Seems much easier than coming to this board and asking it over and over and over and over and over. Then complaining because experienced agents are trying to give you some advice. It's apparent that none of the agents who have replied thus far didn't go and don't think too much of NAA. But you keep asking anyway. But hey, what do we know? We've only lasted longer than the majority of agents out there.

I have to sign off for the evening. It's stormy out here right now and the power usually goes off when that happens. I dont want my computer to get spiked so I'll continue this again in another 12 hours or so.

but you will soon learn that making a quick buck selling non~med life plans has its shortcomings..........with no residual income.........

So you purposely spell things wrong on the board?

Are you an english teacher?

So you're saying you CAN spell, you just choose not to on the board. That makes no sense to me. I understand it's easy to make a mistake from time to time, but even after it's been pointed out, you continue to misspell and use words incorrectly. That tells me you don't have a strong grasp of the english language. Unfortunately, spellcheck doesn't fix grammatical errors.
Am I an english teacher? No. Just someone who believes if you're going to do something, you might as well do it right. There's only one opportunity to make a first impression. I always attempt to make it a good one. And in this business, there is written communication with prospects and clients. If that written communication is full of misspelled words and grammatical errors, it's not likely you'll get the executive to trust the advice you give in other areas. He won't see you as competent. Again, just my opinion.
But if you are dealing with lower middle class clientele on the mortgage leads, it probably doesn't make much difference.

sman, you hit it right on the head! IMHO it sounds like dvd493 is either ignorant and/or disrespectful to the professionals on this board. He sounds like he doesn't give a s**t when communicating with his fellow professionals. We all make typos from time to time and sometimes have minor grammatical errors, but at least we do try to be correct.

P.S. BTW At least Oleg tries to be correct and English is his second language. I don't know if he is on this forum, but he is on insurance-forums.com.
