Oh...I retract my previous comment. That does sound annoying.

So, you in the market for a new agent then?

The one that I see the most are the non-CPA financial planners/advisers who are selling commission-based products and have no fiduciary duty.

Tigerlaff speaking.

Hey buddy, its Seth Gautreaux! Been alright??

Uhhh, hey... you said your name is...

Seth, man! I graduated with Nick and Corey and all them and they told me you were a good guy to get to know.

Yeah... so how can I help you Seth?

I'm gonna be in your neck of the woods next week. Can we set up a meeting for Monday or Tuesday? I've got a line on some amazing products from Northwestern Mutual that have really been a hit with young professionals in our area. You're going to...

Yeah, sorry Seth, I'm all booked up next week. Thanks for the call though.

Gotcha, gotcha. I'll just put a note on my calendar to touch base with you later this month and we can get set something up then. Have a good one bro!

Any situation where they're willing to cut the price in half after you say no is a cringe worthy practice.



Isn’t it amazing?

Spot freaking on! That is every conversation I've had to a T.

I've had to block one guy's number (whom I have never met) because he wouldn't stop with the calls.

Any and all MLM products. Most other people like car salesman, insurance sales, etc, that's their full time job and they're trying to earn a living. They at least sell legitimate products and for the most part keep it at the office and don't bother their friends and shite.

Most MLM bullshite is people (mainly bored women) trying to earn extra income on the side with the pretense that they're gonna hit it big. When they devolve into throwing their sales pitch out at all times and even to their close friends you know it's a shitty practice.
