Combined used to do the morning Rah Rah's, as far as I know they still do. I never worked for them, but I remember thinking that if I had to go to those...I'd quit. The Rah Rah's are so fake.

The ones I love the most are the "managers" who have been licensed all of 6 months who are building a team. They often don't know their rear end from their elbow when it comes to insurance, but they're fired up about the millions they are going to make. Maybe it's best to have the newbies like that do a lot of recruiting because some of them still believe they can make 125k in the first year.
What organizations do they tend to be affiliated with? AIL, NAA, Primerica and now Equis, among others. (I had an Equis guy PM me on FB a while back trying to recruit me. Unless it has been a recent change, he has done very little personal production. He had no clue how contracts work and thought NAA was a great organization and that Equis has just improved on it a little.)
It's sort of like the early days of Prepaid Legal or Excel. And why not since for so many it has a lot more to do with recruiting than selling.
If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck...

I knew it was nonsense in the training, but it was out of state and I wasn't really in a position to quit and leave immediately. The training certainly wasn't all bad, but I'm talking about the PMA stuff that was promoted with cult like fervor. I figured it might get better in the field, but my "manager" didn't really want to be a manager and provided no help, wouldn't split commissions the way the company promised, etc. This was in a small town and there were really no meetings they way there might have been in Chicago or some other large city.
With them if you reached a certain level of sales, apparently you became a manager whether you liked it or not. He had been a manager off and on for years. We were knocking doors in trailer parks instead of selling in high rise office buildings the way that Mr. Stone did. This was in the AON days. They've been sold a couple of times since then but I don't know to what extent they have changed. Years later I came across their senior division which sold overpriced Med Supps and LTCi. But hey, they provide benefits!

Isn't it "complete autonomy" to a point, which is at the maximum, 5% less than your contract level?

Licensed all of 6 months? My understanding is that SFG (and other MLM IMOs) are pushing newly contracted individuals to recruit, recruit, recruit, even if they don't have their license yet.
And I think you hit the nail on the head about the reason they push (encourage) newbies to recruit. The newbies are drunk on the kool-aid and few of them will devote any time to actually researching the multi-level marketing IMO they're crawling in bed with. They don't even ask their upline for proof of income.

Hi, I'm with Equis. Actually the ER1 is at 70% but you move up pretty quickly based on your sales. The owners and management are top notch. I don't want to cross any lines here but my experience since I joined last September has been one of awesome support and continual learning...as well as great earnings, lol!75% contract to start. Sounds great.

ETA: the lead pricing is for MP A-Leads. Also, they advertise a starting commission @ 70%, but as you can see, they actually only pay that level on two products,

I am not contracted with most of those companies but I can't believe what they are giving agents with UHL.. I am at 125% on the SIWL without any production requirement. 110% on Columbian Dignified Choice.

do you get leads with that 70?
what companies do you write?[/QUOTE]
heDude. Yes, I purchase leads from various sources, as well as generate my own and benefit from leads from my Regional Manager.. Average cost $2 for an older one, yes, $45 for new MP, less for FE. We currently have just under 20 carriers, I personally write about 4-6 of them regularly.

The worst one I see is Oxford. Oxford's 120%/Equis is 50%.

Yes, but imagine the future income of those 2 percent renewals. You really need to reach out to some of us on this board for a dose of reality, especially if you are paying for leads.
