That shite is just Cutco for suckers with a college degree. All of these morons just end up running off their friends and family by harassing them for business.

I don’t know how these kids with good degrees always get sucked into that crap year after year.

Beats me, man. Had an acquaintance lure me to NW Mutual and they tried to peddle some disability insurance to me (I’m 25). I said no and they call me every now and then.

When you start there, you have to fill out a blank sheet with everyone you know to try and call and sell them shite

Fairly certain they ask you if you have any contacts you think would need their services. I was given a pamphlet with a space to write those contact on for them.

My buddy opened his own office and is clearing probably a half million or more a year.

Can't fault him for that.

Maybe not officially but that’s basically what the new agents do

BREAKING: Insurance agents leverage contacts to sell their products


What the company doesn't do is "give you a blank piece of paper and MAKE you write down everyone you know." They don't give a shite if you sell or not, they have a million applicants.

Maybe because they make a boat load of money.

People don’t know any better. They have not ever taken a course on what the true fees and business model are and those companies sure as heck won’t tell them.

Let me get this straight....you think insurance products are “bought” and not “sold”?

Is there not two sides to a transactions and are some insurances that aren't required?
