Pros

- Freedom to set my own schedule - Supportive team

Cons

- They tell you they have leads always available for purchase, what they don't tell you is that you're going to have to fly and travel all over the country to use those leads. They are not available in my area at all. and They DO NOT cover the travel expenses. - If someone cancels a policy from me, I get to pay back all the money they gave me. So, even in moments I thought I was making good money, I actually wasn't. I was putting myself into debt. - If you have money manager tell you to invest it all in leads, if you don't have any money the managers will tell you to open a credit card and buy leads with money you don't have.

We tell all of our agents in the beginning that if they live in a remote area there is no guarantee that we'll be able to produce leads there. That being said, it's not mandatory that any agent travels unless that's a choice that they make. This is a 100% commission based position where the agents are building their own business so we do not cover any of their business expenses. In regards to chargebacks from cancelled policies, if an agent is going into debt from chargebacks they must not be providing quality service to their clients while in the home. That's an issues that should be brought up to their management so they can troubleshoot the problem and figure out where they're going wrong.

Pros

If you are looking for a place to work that can give you a life, then here is a good place to be a workaholic and drink the cool aide.

Cons

Shawn Meaike, One of the Founders of this Company, is a psychopath and known liar. He comes from NAA, another Multi-Level Marketing IMO organization ran by a sociopath named Andy Albright. They claim to want to help families, but instead they sell crappy overpriced life insurance for a quick buck.

Outside of the name calling and the inclusion of another company and their CEO on this review there isn't much to respond to. In fact FFL does not sell leads our agents buy them directly from lead vendors. So maybe this review is about the other company mentioned not FFL.

Do you want to recruit or sell insurance?

Pros

This IMO offers the possibility of getting to a 140% commission level if you build an Agency for yourself. You are told you will get the highest commission levels in the Industry and for a select few that may be true. The recruiting of new people grows the company and gets you more override money, but you need to keep working at adding new people to keep the agency growing. If you enjoy that, the possibility of big money is there.

Cons

If you do not want to recruit or build an agency then this is not going to be a good fit. The model is similar to other IMO companies and like most in the area, has very high turnover ratios. You will be responsible for keeping the team trained and motivated and offering sales support. It is not for newer less experienced agents, this type of company will move on with or without you, if you can live with that reality then you will have a good place to work at, but if you just want to produce and take care of your own business this is not going to work out well. They also schedule calls you are supposed to listen to almost every weekday, which can be a grind. Some of the calls are great but most are just psychological training to keep you motivated, with lots of personal stories. These type of MLM agencies all do this to keep people drinking the kool aid. The MLM companies like this have around a 95% turnover ratio because you are just another number, recruit and separate the wheat from the chaff, but when so many fail to have immediate success they quickly become the chaff. Be real in your expectations this model is the latest version from NAA former agents who copy the model with some minor differences. You Tube has some great videos explaining why this type of insurance agency may not be a good fit for everyone, but they are so quick to recruit and then they move on to the next person. Never felt like a family to me, more like a military recruiting station. Do you due diligence before signing on, so you will know what your getting yourself in for.

Based on some of the claims in this review it seems like this individual didn't fully understand our company or may be speaking of another IMO. Our high comp is given to both producers and managers, you can earn comp raises off of personal production just as fast as you can from your agency production. All of our training focuses heavy on the sales process. We have a large library of audio and video sales training designed to help new agents get started. We have a really low turnover rate with our agents, we believe that is due to the high comp, vested renewals, free training and the regional support that we provide to make sure that new agents are profitable as fast as possible.
