My experience began on December 2018. I was excited to get things going as I was really looking forward to new growth. I took my exam, I got my fingerprints, I got my supplies, I got my E&O Insurance (which I’m still paying monthly for today), I got contracted, and I booked my hotel and flight for Vegas as national convention came closer. At convention I knew my goal was to help as many people as possible. After I came home from convention I was fired from my job because they didn’t like what I was doing, I knew this was a risk but I knew the best things in life happen outside of your comfort zone. However, my up line stopped responding to me when I told him that since I had no money because I spent most of it during the contracting/convention. I felt really discouraged, but I knew it was a process. (I had already spent around $400 in leads and gone into homes) It took me a month or so to find another job. During April/May 2019 I decided to give it another go because I truly believed in Family First Life. Here in Houston I didn’t have anybody nearby that could truly help me or mentor me since my upline was hundreds of miles away and told me not to contact him after 5pm ET while I got off work at 6pm CT. Regardless, I was buying leads, I was dialing and going into homes whenever I could as I was doing this part time. During that month I invested $2300 worth of leads and I didn’t make a single cent. At this point I knew something was wrong, I spent my entire savings and I was burnt out. I was hopeless. I contacted corporate via email and they paired me with another up line 10mins away from me here in Houston. He contacted me and asked for my producer #’s to transfer them over and I also asked him If I could be placed on a lead assistance program. I never received a response after that day on June 14th. At the end of the day, I gave it my best and I truly believe I fit the “All In” mentality that Family First Life is all about, and I still didn’t receive the help that would lead to writing a single policy or making a cent into what I invested. I felt cheated and let down. Slowly, FFL stopped being the life changing career I thought it would be. My advice for beginners make sure you work with somebody that actually cares about you and make sure you learn quickly so you’re not dependent on anybody. Unfortunately I never got to write a single policy, so I wasn’t able to help anybody out much less myself.
