As I could see in some windows and noticed these people were sitting and waiting, I figured a lot of interviews must be happening around here. Last week I was approached at my job by two people. Googled my way here. I wen to to their office and was asked to fill out an application form. Down below is a tiny non-referent asterisk that tells us to check their claims against the DISCLAIMER portion of the book.

It was a group interview. if you dont have the internet, you hear about my place. Each year, millions of people work hard in MLMs and do exactly as theyre taught, and they still lose money. What a joke. Just like most of these posts, they said they werent looking for people who have college degrees or serious career experience. I raised my eyebrow, curious as to how he could explain that one away. My brother-in-law has been very successful selling Insurance through a smaller company, Modern Woodmen of America.

I am so ashame to be same species as John adison and glen williams . If the only business positions are in Georgia, what do they expect people to believe they would be doing where they live? My biggest issue with most of these posts is the fact that the reps are approaching people in random public places(i.e., work, grocery shopping, launder-mats, job seeking seeking sites, etc.) Ive spent 175$ in total so far. I can see that people working for this company are preying on people who have not done their research. It was odd that the individual wouldnt tell me what the position was and that it wasnt sales. I understand multi-level marketing all too well. FINRA reports that this firm has 21 total disclosures on its record, including 17 regulatory events and 2 arbitration awards.

I think the biggest tell tale sign that you are getting involved with an ethically questionable company if you have to ask who they work for or grill them on their business model. And they came from very humble beginnings working 9-5 jobs now they are free and independent! Think Enron, Bernie Madoffs investment scheme, etc. Andrea Youve misstated the concept of MLM. The whole purpose is an endless chain recruitment scheme. So what you are saying is that the other insurance companies must REALLY over elevate their prices.

I dismissed the thought as finally, after several minutes, John opened his door and beckoned the man in, intruding himself again. So, I googled the companyand here I am.

I replied BJs (actual restaurant thats very good). He said well if someone were to tell you i can supply you with all the equipment to cook, but you would have to build your own client tale it wouldnt do to well right off the bat right? i said agreed then he replied well thats what i can help you with. And if done ethically, sales is a service so dont mask your phone pitch as helping out people financially. If people have to pay for your help, you are selling.

I was thinking it was odd that I still didnt know the name of the company. Suck my ass. Honest goods and services were never made to be traded for money. He gave his spill bout himself first then went on to explain how things work. As I walked away, I thought it was really weird and random that this woman would just walk up to me in the middle of a Target and offer me a job. I work retail so my hours are crazy. None of them could answer my question(s) without talking themselves in a circle. If you believe Wall Street has a moral compass you are sadly mistaken. First of all, the company does have physical product within its structure - insurance and financial services around debt-solutions, investments, legal protection, etc. Pyramid scheme type set up. So i googled and seems like a scam i called back and canceled. There are two levels of people in the business, not infinite levels.

Oddly enough, the guy who put up the review had the same last name as the woman who called me to interview. I went to the interview and we just hire anyone. No mention of the office manager position the other man had offered, so I decided not to bother bringing it up. Finally they called me in the most boring, plain, unprofessional office ever. We set up the interview within a week and Ive never had someone more eager and desperate to hire me. Like the Dread Pirate Roberts, Ive known far too many preachers to take them on their word alone. Tracy did you use to do Primerica and was unsuccessful because you seem very angry with the company? I wasted a month of my busy life and thankfully, I already maintain a good internship at a wealth management firm and did not leave it for such stupidity. I reminded her I was not there for a financial health check, but rather for a job pertaining to repairing computers NOT a door-to-door 3rd-party insurance salesman.

She then insisted on calling me on Wednesday to remind me of the appointment and said I was lucky because the vice president would be there on Wednesday -_-. Plus who knew if they actually still earned that? Hope this helps and good luck to those who have gone forth with this and now have regrets and for those who saw the light before it was too late . I heard at a convention a couple of years ago that the way you know its a good company with good products or services, would be if you had to pay retail, would you still buy it?
