I think too many people believe "financial planning" is something glamorous. At least until they realize they have to gather a TON of assets to actually make a living doing it.

Years ago I dated a gal from Naples, Florida who was going through the interview process with Merrill Lynch.

She was under the impression that the job entailed watching CNBC and keeping track of, and re-jiggering, people's portfolios.

Boy did she get a big surprise!

Don't worry about the 55%. If you can sell, you'll end up making more. Mass has tons of bonuses and good renewals.

What it all comes down to, can you get in front of and sell to the people who will buy their products?

When you went to the office, did you have to wade through all the prospects in the lobby, or was it just you and maybe another potential recruit?

It was just me. I was referred to the company through a BNI group.

I *THINK* what it will come down to is will I be able to get in front of enough people and convince them to BUY me and trust me. Will I be able to make people want what I have to offer?

I'll let you know how they plan to help me prospect on monday. I think I will even get to ride along on some appointments.

I think you should look at Combined Worksite Solutions. You'll get a starting salary. They'll fly you to Chicago for a week to train you. Then you'll get a week of field training in your area.

If you want the Area Director's phone number, pm me.

I knew it would be heavily weighted on the insurance sales, but I know I need to learn it first even though I want to do investments (read financial planning)
As for anything, I'll do what's best for my client, regardless of loads. Yes, it's nice to make a paycheck, but they told me I can do front end commission of a 1% annual fee, which is what I'll choose.

To answer your question about joint-work. Yes I will do lots and lots of it, yes they start me out at 55% but I will get 100%, since I'm guessing they get overrides. I know I can make more money elsewhere commission % wise but what does residual income look like for those agents who get 120% up front? I dont know so thats why Im asking.

Why should I pay you 1% when I can buy it direct without your fee you do not know what you don't know.

Think he means he can be advanced and charged 1% interest

I believe he's talking about doing managed investment accounts. Charging a 1% fee.
