Wouldn't we have to sit down together and assess how much my time is worth?

Sure and while we're at it we'll do that same thing for me as well. Smart elec!!!

Their will always be nasayers about anything for Pete's sake. Someone could make the perfect Apple Pie and people will bitch and moan and say you should have put this in it or blah blah blah. I say find info out FOR YOURSELF by experiencing it instead of taking someone's word for it. It's like when someone tells me a new movie that just came out sucks and then I go and see it and I think it's great. Who is wrong in this case? Just find out for yourself and stop believing every internet folklore that is out there.

I'm not. But I do read and trust Rip-off Report as it provides me with a great sampling of people who have had past experiences with Primerica. I understand that you are fully committed and believe in the company. I think it's great, but I tend to believe 1000 + people and their comments over you.

Ok, I guess you believe everything you read like this on the internet.

According to Forbes 2000 it is. But I guess it's all in what report you read right? I know they were number one for like 7 years in a row I think in Forbes.

Like if you read the most current report Citigroup dropped to #24?
I wonder if that drop coincided with giving Primerica the contract to sell annuities?

In addition, Citi is trying to unload Primerica. Mainly, Primerica is a cash cow, outdated a bit, but still brings in the bucks. Citi needs capital.

Rumors are MetLife is looking at Primerica. Main conflict is culture conflict and how to cut costs to make the purchase work.

I would not hang my hat on the Citi-Primerica relationship much longer.

From your link (dated 2006)

Do you think things might have changed since then?

Sure I forget I'm talking to fellow LSU fans who's main thought process is what have you done for me lately. Primerica and Citi's history and great reputation can't be ignored. Yeah I'm hearing all these rebutals but still no prove in showing why Primerica is so bad.

Well if thats how you perceive it then thats you. I call it telling it like it is and calling it like I see it. I don't try to be politically correct and conform to the world, but rather just tell the facts. Plus he was being a smart arse so don't try to turn it around and defend him.

And that is why you are working part time for Primerica hawking shitty insurance and investment products to folks with financial issues. You are on here "repping" a company, the person you were interacting with wasn't. What you do here helps reflect badly on a company that most intelligent people already perceive as being shitty...his being a smartass to you doesn't.

how does your commissions work? Do you get paid a % for every policy you sell/what % does the guy above you in the pyramid make?

It's a CitiGroup company, FWIW. That used to be a good thing, but I don't know about that anymore.

Since you seem to know so much about our company and how terrible our products are, why don't you go ahead and share with me and everyone how "shitty" our products are by giving examples and proof of how bad they are since you seem to know so well?

Really? So what am I saying (In your eyes) on this subject that makes the company look so bad? How many people are you speaking for when you say that "most intelligent people already perceive as being shitty" ?

Go check out a local agency and they'll be happy to share this information with you.

I keep seeing this statement on this board but no one is showing a link to show this?
Primerica is in charge of it's own capital so no matter what happens to Citi, Primerica would still continue to sell their product regardless of what happens to Citi. The reason Citi hired Primerica in the late 90's was because Primerica has such a large sales force of 100,000 plus agents. AGAIN, Primerica is unique in that it can sell and market all of the products and services that Citi owns which is pretty vast. Primerica is Citi's Marketing Strong Arm.

Where have you seen this?

We already market their huge variable Annuity. Infact, They payed us 12 Billion dollars to market their product last year because we have a larger sales force then they do.

Sure anything could happen. Just curious though, where are you getting this theory from?
