Probably just a coincidence.

If the question is vague enough it is easy to find that we all have something in common.

Re: Bad Experiences with Agents             Go to Top

Northwestern Mutual Life = Has to be the most hyped, overrated, overpriced, "I'll write two life policies on you, not one (so I can get my bonus)" company out there. These guys write increasing premium term policies on top of overpriced whole life garbage to get their submitted cases bonuses. Unethical to the core. Some of their agents bleed green, they must be the only company that is solvent enough these days to pay claims....because 'mutual' companies are the only companies that are stable these days - don't you know? Total B.S.

I think this sums up a lot of people's bad experiences with agencies... look at Mr. Montebon's affadavit... does it get any worse than that?

I've booked my flight. Not sure how I can sell a lot of policies sitting on the beaches in Hawaii (not licensed there), but hey, I'll travel and cash my $4900 travel stimulus check!

Would it be overly arrogant for me to say I am way hotter than her and I don't require travel? Just curious.

arn, don't get sucked in!

It looks good on the outside, but when you're in the throes of passion, all they want to do is talk about 20 year level convertible term, with waiver of premium.

Re: Bad Experiences with Agents             Go to Top

I just wanted to ask first. I found out some info about Northwestern Mutual Financial Network from a former agent I used to work with. I since then have cancelled my policies there. They are very overpriced and all they brag about is how they pay a dividend that is the highest in the industry. They are not the highest. They over charge for their policies and use the excess funds to invest for themselves and then return a small portion back to you in the form of a dividend. I also found out about their motivation to sell. They have an annual meeting and a regional meeting that they all get ribbons to wear. The more you sell the more ribbons you get and thats all that some care about. One agent, I will not mention his name, told my friend to tell the people what they want to hear to sell the case. I later found out that this Agent is one of the managers an office! I since have gone with a nationwide term.

Someone please share with me what is going on. The video sounds exactly like EMG, and I know you all know that. What is the lawsuit about? What is going on? Is there a IMO that has a compet. price for our clients and is also good for the agents that represent it?

Thanks for the heads up, Paul. I was just being facetious.

Picture please and telephone number.
P.S. I am assuming you are a female. If not send the info to Rick (a/k/a GreenSky) but don't let Chumps know.

Doesn't matter to me if you are hot or not, I am indebted to you for your timely post. Thank you so very much! I did a lot of digging since I first saw the info you put on here, since I was about to contract with Equita. It gives me more insight as to maybe why they are dragging their heels about my contract questions and the subject of a pre-negotiated release.

If they have the same mind-set as Parker, NAA, and others of the same ilk, it will come out sooner or later. At the moment, it appears that they have taken on several former NAA managers, including Christine Butcher (the hottie).

I only hope I am wrong, but I have a gut feeling about this...
