Pros

Probably only good thing is the compensation

Cons

The hours you have to work JUST to get a return on investment (which I never got) Lots of false advertising, as far as leads and no contracts stated in dozens of youtube videos, saying you HAVE to spend $1k on leads if you want to make it, people “request coverage” but half the time they have no clue what your talking about and your getting cussed out over the phone, and the leads that are in the crm are being resold to other agents in the IMO (thats why they look like they have so many!! They say no contracts but as soon as you request release they slap you with an NDA! WILD Shawn M literally says “leave if you want we’ll release you” You basically have to recruit if you want to make it, if not you WILL struggle, most uplines are in the field and really arent able to train you properly or put time into you bc they have to work so hard in the field Most of the big wigs people are forced to look up to haven’t been in the field in YEARS and it definitely showing, they’re doing alot of “do as I say, not as I do” They force you to write a certain carrier so they can get a bonus on your business!!! When that carrier is actually way more expensive than it should be!! They crucified people for speaking out and questioning the leadership and integrity on leads!!

Our agents do not chase down people for things that they don't want. We work with warm leads, which are people reaching out to us requesting that we help them with obtaining life insurance. If they don't want to get coverage anymore, we move on to the next client.

Pros

I was impressed by high reviews. Watched a lot of youtube videos. I took the leap. Did the bootcamp. I believed in the 'we got leads' vision. I speant $1000 on leads. Called 90 people. Half picked up. Others are not interested and dont want to be contacted. Booked 6 appointments. Almost sold 1. I asked the people I met why they clicked on the add and they said it was an AARP ad for 250K life insurance for $50 a month. Now I ve learn this bait and swicth is how the insurance industry out. So im another statistic of 97 percent of agents who fail and you probably will be too. However, if you can learn to lie to people and really love money and willing to do whatever it takes, you can be rich.

Cons

MLM hype like herbalife. It is what it is. Not transparent. Everything is scripted when recruiting prospects interested in selling life insurance. Lies and deception. But if you can stomach all of it, u cant make some serious money. Mind you, they recruit about 2000 agents a week. How many of them you think will succeed. The deception is what unfortunate....but, again, if you love money and willing to risk it all and put your life on hold, you can make a nice penny. its a numbers game for who you sell to and its a number game with who succeeds with FFL or any other shady MLM

I'm not sure where this reviewer got the statistic of "97% of agents fail here" but it's clear that mindset was one of the leading reasons for their lack of success. Sales is not necessarily easy, we don't pretend that it is. But, it is a simple process if you're coachable, teachable, and willing to go through rejection early on without quitting. For some, that is too much to bear and in that case we would recommend going into a different line of work. We wish you all the best.

Pros

Work your own schedule, work from home.

Cons

You have to buy your own leads. A cheap week of leads or starting is about $800, afterwards it’s about $2,000 to $2,500. They don’t tell you that 2 days a week you need to call min 450 times to get appointments and that does not guarantee you will get appointments. Most are no shows and when you do make a sale commissions are good but guess what, people who purchase final Expense Insurance usually are low income, they miss payments. Chargebacks are always happening. You can work your butt off just to break even. This company is oversold when it comes to income. They hire 1,000 of reps every year hoping something sticks at your expense. Remember it cost you big time just to work leads.
