I sell Colonial.

I work from home.

I've never been given 'hot' leads. However I have been given some "orphan" accounts but they didn't turn out to be very big.

Commission structure is low but the bonus structure is good.

I love the company. They treat me very well. They have excellent training.

It is all going to depend on your local manager as you get started.

I don't know your area, but Colonial is a though sale in my area for lots of reasons I don't have time to talk about now.

If you really work your tail off you should make $50K... if you are a good salesperson, if your manager gives you good training, and if your area is receptive to worksite benefits (i.e. they are not laying people off.... although that can be a sales angle as well if you work it right.)

You won't find a better or nicer company to work with... but if I were you I'd look at Colonial more as a 'supplement' (no pun intended) and concentrate on either easier to sell item like health (again, I don't know your state) or higher commish items like life and fixed annuities.

I know you have heard this before, but there is NO right answer to your question. Your best bet is to contact a Colonial agent in your area and ask them what THEY made and how hard they worked to do it.
