re: Primerica: full time income

Man that dude was a tool in high school. I’m not a fan of taking advantage of little old ladies.

I always thought that the internet would kill all MLMs/pyramid schemes. I figured the open and researchable information would dissuade people from joining. Apparently Instagram is the new version of the old Mary Kay “pink Cadillac “.

Yes! Striking while the iron is hot indeed! & from the looks of this chart, the stock price is going up which is a positive sign of things to come! Also, everyone can use insurance, so that seems like something that can really sell itself!

I remember when Vector Marketing called me at 18 and said a guy I barely knew from high school recommended me as a good fit. They wanted me to schedule and interview so I said sure.
Did my research and saw it was the cheap cutlery gambit and called them back and laughed as I told them to lose my fricking number.

Teach me.
I'm happy to provide examples with your definition.

They tried to scam me as well, They will pressure you for your contacts if you aren't interested.

They do it under the disguise of "helping" families when in reality they are just scamming your friends and families to make the top richer.

I think Drew Allemand is in this business lol

Real estate agents make money by selling real estate; not by recruiting other agents for their downline. Same for all legitimate insurance agents.

Real estate agents often work in a team with a senior agent. The jim bob team.
The jim bob team works for an agency. The keller williams of athens agency.
The keller williams of athens agency was franchised by keller williams corporate.

It all flows upstream.
Are there keller williams real estate agents that work alone? Sure. But they have every right and power to hire subagents. If they choose not to, then they choose not to.

Insurance agents are the same way. Bob Jones is an agent at allstate. He can hire his own subagent and service rep. He works for an agency called AllState Duluth which has a head agent. That head agent franchised with an allstate recruiter through corporate.

I dont list mortgage companies in this same fashion because they are w2 employees (in georgia). Not 1099 contractors like realtors and insurance agents. That said... you have a franchised or branched location with a vp of sales. He hires out 10 sr loan officers who create their own sales team underneath them. You still get the same pyramid upflow income stream.

The reason why insurance reps, realtors, and mortgage professionals dont get the same awful reputation (they get an awful reputation. Read these boards and it is hard to deny. Trust me... just not the same reputation as selling vitamins/energy drinks/amway) is because they are more often than not trained better. And more often than not, better qualified when hired. And their products are socially accepted to be sold in this fashion. Primerica reps are licensed and trained. They probably are not as qualified when hired as other insurance companies (probably because they have a different sales pitch with a different target clientele than most other insurance professionals). But there are excellent primerica agents in the community. They may only be in the 5% of their company because the company throws so many bodies against the wall that most shouldnt work out. Whether that good Primerica rep hires people below him or not is his choice. They dont always do that either (like individual realtors working for an agency or individual insurance agents working for an agency).

By your definition above, any business with a boss in sales who generates revenue by others selling is a pyramid scheme, and that’s retarded.
