Family First Life Response

Since our inception Family First Life has not had a single agent in Jacksonville, FL. Which is where this review originated from. It's not that we are opposed to having agents there we just have not hired anyone in that location yet. Which makes it difficult to respond to the many false allegations in this review as it seems that it may have been written by someone who has never worked with Family First Life. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at 860-317-1324

Pros

the training is good for a new agent. I really loved my upline he was amazing and even he left knowing the grass was greener on the other side.

Cons

Where do i begin? FFL claims they have the best compensation which is a lie. 85% - 140% which is a horrendous lie , I was lucky to start at 120% because of my previous production. The funny thing is that i only got 120% on 2 products for 2 different companies for simplified term only! , every other product had 20-30% lower. I got a terrible bait and switch . They only train you to sell 2 products no other products at all . Your uplines push you to buy 60$ mortgage protection leads because that is where they make their money and they can override you . The numbers look good , agents writing 20k a month but they never show that after the lead costs,gas,expenses,placement and retention you only net $8,000 a month after producing 20k , your upline and FFL make another 5,000k thanks to your hard work. so you really have to bust your behind . In order to get to "140%" which is only for 2 products mind you, you must have an agency producing a few million dollars a year to even qualify . Other Imos give higher that 120% to start and even higher than 140% if you have and agency producing a million. Their model is a rip off. Their facebook leads from their vendor used to be 10$ now they are 15$ because of profits of course. Those leads used to be good , now you place an order and they come 5 days later and with clients that were never really interested. Their cherry picked leads have been resold a million times and they are overpriced. Their crm is subpar and when you purchase leads you get duplicates that they never want to refund you for. Another terrible thing is I was lied too when i started, they informed me FFL has no affiliation with NAA yet when i received a letter for Trans about some business i had to reinstate i saw superior performers as my upline on the top. CURRENT FFL AGENTS BEWARE! If you want a release from this company they will force you to sign a non compete and this crazy form that states you can't sue them. Overall I really had my hopes up and was very distraught about what i experienced with them I really respected their leader and i just have to find out he just created the same old IMO that everyone else does . Since I written this review of my experience and a few others to express my situation, all of my downlines were moved to other people and the downlines that had debt are still being rolled up to me . If you think that is independent, it's not , This IMO will mess with your contract and put you on as earned if they find out you are selling products outside of the carriers they use.

Pros

Unlimited earning potential Learn from successful people Lots of training available

Cons

They lie about how fast their people earn their logo (they said my manager did it in two months but it was more like 6). I've heard they lie about other things but I will only comment on what I know. Tell you to spend 1-3k a week on leads. That "requested this info". Literally maybe 5% of the people you talk to actually remember filling out a form. If you don't work 6 days a week, door knock the leads who verbally abused you over the phone, and pressure your clients to buy (literally say in their trainings that if they don't leave the home with a sale, they MAKE SURE it's uncomfortable) then you "didn't work it". If they respond they'll say "This individual clearly lacked the work ethic/drive to make it work". I dialed over 1,000/dial day. No I didn't door knock. You shouldn't have to if these leads were really seeking our services. Speaking of door knocking, Andrew Taylor (one of the big wigs) tells a story on one of the podcasts about how one of his agents, while door knocking, got attacked by a rottweiler, and while his agent was crying and driving himself to the hospital, Andrew said he just laughed at him. (This blew my mind and made me wonder 'who the hell is this guy?') Did you see the notice above or is it still there? Saying somebody is artificially pumping this page against community standards?? Sounds like that summarizes this post pretty well. 🤔
