American General Interview Today

OK, thanks. Then what is a better choice? A different l&H company or go P&c for now due to the economy?

I don't know much about American National other than I usually steal their customers. Their rates are ridiculous. i had one lady tell me she was quoted $79 a month for $3000, that I was able to do for $32??? I don't know if she was right, but I often can offer a much better rate. However, I know guys that have been selling for them for like 30 years and they seem to make good money and like their job. Their is definately an upside to selling for a company with such a big presence ... do they really give you 250 leads a month???? That is an insane amount of leads ... I'd be curious if Bozack23 is still doing this??

OK, Interviewed today and everything went good. Have second interview scheduled for Tues. The pay is 45% commissions with opportunity to earn bonuses at 70-125% of commissions. I have to pay out of pocket to get my licenses but they will reimburse all but $25.00. Once licensed I will be payed $500-$600 a week for 17 weeks while training. Anything I sell during training will go in a pool which after training half my commissions will be paid as earned and half will go in the pool. I will also be paid 9% of pool money weekly along with my commissions. Does this sound about right for captive life insurance companies?

Did you go with AGLA? I have an interview here in Atlanta and am looking forward to it. I was with Liberty Life many years ago and really enjoyed selling insurance.

Do you know if the salary for training is a draw? I am to start tommorrow you would think I would know this, but I am a newbie and nobody told this too me during the interview phase

Ask your manager.

I think in a sense it is a draw against future commissions. You are not paid commission until you reach a certain earnings. However, I believe it is forgiven if you do not make it.
