I am a newbie here and have been to a second interview with Aflac. They want me to start their training as soon as my finals at college for this semester are finished. I have been reading a number of threads here and have seen a lot of animosity and anger here. After listening to this woman talk and knowing that this country is in the crapper now, my question is this; Do I forget about Aflac and continue my education while trying to keep my faltering pumping system business afloat, or do I give Aflac a shot? I am financially challenged,, and not interested in pipe dreams or BS. Straight answers here. Is there a future in this business for newcomers or not?

Selling is selling is selling. It's the second oldest profession in the world. Sell Aflac or Mercedes - what's the friggin difference?? (selling MB is probably much easier than selling insurance and consequently makes less $). We are primarily salespeople; what we sell is incidental.

russelltw: Thank you for the background. Your honest information is very much appreciated. Think I'll look around for a company I'll be able to have some respect for. I'm absolutely sure there are better choices than Aflac... Consider me enlightened. Saving time, money and face is quite important. Many people here would probably rather watch my family and I go through the hell people like you had to endure, rather than actually help someone. That is sad. But not you!!! and I thank you for that. You're a good man.
Franz: To answer your hypothetical question; I'm not at all interested in selling something I have little to no respect for. Do you? I have, apparently like you, been in sales for most of my working life and am quite clear on this difference. If a person is out selling something for someone they have no respect for, then maybe that makes them a great salesperson, but not much of an honest person. Yeah, I know........ honesty schmonesty........ good guy always finishes last and all that cr*p...etc. We've got a great example of selling and saying things you don't actually mean, in the "friggin" White House. Great role model! So, how does that sit with ya? Feels real good to know that a golden tongue may not be something to be so proud of if what you're mouthing is lies. "Believe in what your doing or live with your lies," was once directed my way while working at the Atlanta Apparel Mart back in the 80's. That took me by surprise but rang true.
TXINSURANCE: Blaggo and the Boyz are good hearted people! Just ask them. They'll tell ya so. I'm proud they were unable to sell their line to me! Unfortunately, my vote didn't count for much though.

Lying has no staying power - even in politics. My point was that a salesman IMO has the greatest job security in the world. I mean if you were a plastic surgeon. and the fearless leader hit you with commie style cap on what you could charge, you'd be very worried especially considering what you owe on your student loan (an investment). We would always have something to sell and most would pass the respect level along with Aflac. I could sell boxes of cherries in front of a convenient store. I saw a guy doing that today and he was terrible.

No secret there. No one is talking about skyrocketing unemployment while also putting thousand in the health insurance industry in the street.

Funny at first....... God, I wonder what he was doing a year ago........ whew................anyway, yeah, I get what your saying and you are right....... bottom line is, we all have bills, mouths to feed, etc. As long as the dog craps in the yard, I'll find someone to convince that it is exactly what they have been looking for and I can help them out. I guess I can only carry my torch until it starts burning my f'n hand.
I remember back .... aw, fk it...... nevermind. You know, back during the presidential debates, all the guys came here to Myrtle Beach and my 11 year old daughter and I were standing beside Oak Street with our Romney tee shirts on, posters waving high above our heads, excited and cheering for our man, extremely hopeful of a bright future and all that crap. Now, I watch her sit there watching the news with a look of sad, resigned dismay on her face as I try to explain why the majority of our nation's population are complete morons. Truth is, I am at a loss for words. I don't even have an explanation for her. All I can do is sit there, ready to just f**king explode inside as I watch her hopes for herself and her country's future turn into a pile of s**t! I've tried to instill in her the ethics that at one time were a virtue. Now, if you still believe that hard, honest work will reap you the rewards in life that they should, you're a fools fool. I find that pill impossible to swallow and will die a fool. As far as raising my daughter goes; I can't help but feel I'm doing her a great injustice if I continue on the path we're on now. Last night I told her to learn the socialist way of government inside out, backward and forward, and try to figure out if there is a way of prospering within a socialistic society.
I ended up with a 97.7% and a 94.3% average in the two classes I just finished at college. I was excited about that and anxious for my new classes to begin in 10 days. Reality check!!! Am I wasting my time and loads of money? Will a degree in accounting actually do me any good what-so-ever? I feel like I'm spending a ton of money just to make me feel good about myself. I should probably send that money to the good folks at ACORN. They obviously know how to better use, (distribute), their money that I earned. Well, for now, I'm gonna get my butt back out there and earn my living. My daughter is growing like a weed, bless her heart, and needs new clothes again.
Thank you for the ear. Just had to blow off some steam.

It is definitely dog eat dog. An AFLAC manager once told me that she never told any other agents what businesses she was targeting because of the possibility that one of them would swoop in and write the business first and take all of the commission.
I would recommend taking a look at Colonial if you are interested in that market.
