Re: Primerica             Go to Top

This thread is interesting in that just today I find that I'm in a competitive situation with Primerica agent for term ins. with a prospect. I don't yet know what she quoted. However, does anyone have any good competitive info (legal and accurate) about the company that I can refer the prospect to. She has a 'dear friend" who wants to put her into a Primerica plan. I told her to wait until see sees my quote from West Coast.

Please tell me your joking, Primerica is more like a chicken farm than anything else.

Their "buy term and invest the rest" motto is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Not to mention all the people they "educate" are taking the bus to their classes pretending to know retirement planning.

Give me a break, this company should be taken off the map all together.

Re: Primerica             Go to Top

If you do the math that THEY (Primerica) give you its easy to see who makes money with them. One of thier ad pieces bragged that they sold 184,000 life insurance policies last year (2006) .... Turn the page, then went on to list just over 200,000 liscensed agents. oops somebody didn't make ANY money last year!!!

Run,! Dont walk away from this oportunity, Get with a legit company and make some real money.

This is absolutely WRONG. As a former Primerica Agent I know for a fact that you do not get commissions for recruiting people into the company. You only get commissions on sales and yes you do get override commissions from the persons sales that you recruited. But if we're gonna say "anything" about "anything" lets speak of facts.

If you don't follow the entire financial plan that you get from Primerica and keep on spending the same you will only see poor results. We owe it to ourselves to learn about money.

Re: Primerica             Go to Top

I was recruited by Primerica, but decided NOT to get involved. I came really close to signing up.

I feel that some people can make money their, but most won't...just like most insurance companies. Just look how high the first year fail rate is.

However, I think that an insurance company should not be a MLM company. The business is built on signing up as many people as possible....even those who have no business in insurance sales. I also hated how they sold the huge paycheck as almost a guarantee.

I would stay away from Primerica.

Re: Primerica             Go to Top

Why do the pro primeamerica statements start out with the word "former"?

It's a term company with not the best rates that simply uses a distribution system that creates a great deal of turnover. The odds of becoming a career agent are probably less than other carriers.

That is what I was told to. However, you make a small commission from the people you recruited when they sale something. I was also told that after you recruit a certain number of people your commission per sale is increased.

Re: Primerica             Go to Top

Exactly. My point was it is virtually the same thing if you get paid from recruiting people or get paid on some of what they sell.

I rarely use the term "harebrained". but badge deserved it.

You, of course, are in Ohio. And thus...can witness Miami's dismantling of Wright State tonight.

Re: Primerica             Go to Top

As a "former" A.L. Williams rep I can tell you that it is MLM. I dont care what anyone else says, when I was drinking the kool-aid Id say the same things...

No its not MLM, we got the best rates... rah rah, high five...

Primerica is Americas worste opportunity...

You start off with 25% comp on term insurance with no renewal you then recruit and work your way up to an "RVP" who makes 95% ... the day I left that hell house I got appointed with Shen Life at a 120%...

Re: Primerica             Go to Top

I'd would rather go talk to Mike Rowe from the show Dirty Jobs and have him give me the worst dirty job he has ever done than to stay in the business if I had to sell Primerica, although it wouldn't be quite as bad as peddling substandard health insurance policies from NASE.
