"And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen." - John Prine

Yeah, it really sucks when a friend starts a new career as an insurance salesman. Sorry, you may be a friend but I am not going to buy insurance from you that is more expensive than I already have, period. Same goes double for Amway and vitamins.

Nothing to defend. If you actually worked with Primerica and new the business and what Primerica really does then you wouldn't make such statements. Next........

Well Primerica continually takes people from getting screwed with Whole Life and Universal Life policies and puts them in Term Policies that give them a ton of more coverage for less money than they currently pay. I and the guys I work with always do what’s best for the customer. If we can't help them and do better for them then they already are then that’s fine we didn't deserve their business but it was worth an hour of our and their time to see if we could somehow help them in their financial situation to give them a better quality of life.

Run. Run far away from Primerica. My husband didn't make a dime with this company and turned off a lot of friends and family.


Really? How long did he try the business? How much time and effort did he devote to building his business? Did he plug in and become coach able and teachable to learn the system? Did he get licensed? Just curious. Primerica is NOT a get rich quick scheme, BUT it is a business you can make a ton of money in if you are patient, continue to work at it every time you get an opportunity, stay plugged in and develop your personal skills and better yourself then you will NOT fail. This company has more Million dollar and 6 figure income earners than any other company in the America. It must be doing something right. The product sells itself. Anyone that is negative and has a spirit of doubt and unbelief will never succeed at this business or anything else for that matter.

Ok, I've been trying to say out of this because I don't want to give details, but if you work under Abrahm then this statement is complete and utter bullshite. I'm not saying he is shady, just that some of the people under him are. And yes, every time you post you sound like you just got out of the "rah rah" meeting.

That is a pretty strong statement. Can you point me in the direction to verify this information?

Unless you can give details then you are the one that's full of it. I work along side a couple of guys up there and Abram is one of them and he is anything but shady. Why not name the one's you are talking about. If people are shady then they are shady on their own accord, not anything we teach. The guys I am around the most and that have helped me the most are anything but shady and are wonderful husbands and fathers and do really well at this business. Unless you can give names then don't waste your time on this subject. I think since I work with Primerica that I know just a little bit more about what goes on than you do that doesn't have a clue. If you do then why not share the details? A lot of people talk but there is no substance. I and the guys I work with always do what's right for someone we are trying to help. If we can't help a customer then we don't deserve their business and if we can't better their situation then we tell them and show them we can't and we move on. It's not a very hard concept to understand. Just because you think you may no someone that screws someone over doesn't mean that everyone else is the same way. Like Ryan Perriloux at LSU? Do you think everyone on that Team is like him or has his type of low level character? Get real dude and give some juicy details unless I'm just calling your bluff.

You can choose to believe it or not, I don't care. I am not airing another family member's business here. What did you think, I was going to be like "OMG OMG I just got called out on a message board!!!" and come running out with the details?

Dear Jackass,

I typed "businesses with the most million dollar income earners" into Google.

This is what I got.

LINK

I then simply typed "Primerica" into google and this is what I got.

1st site that pops up ... RIPOFFREPORT

Or this board ...

Help for Primerica victims ...


Perhaps I didn't put the right information into the search engine of Google.

Can you help me?

It really doesn't help Primerica at all when people Google your company. You might want to rethink that particular retort. You are very smooth otherwise.

My brother was excited about a potential job with ya'll until he did the Google search (thank God).

Tell your brother he is going to miss out with a company that has the top six figure incomes of any company in America.

Google said so.
