Florida Agent

Let me start by saying I am licensed here in Florida and have been appointed with numerous companies over my career, and worked with many great people in the industry.
I would be extremely careful with the Freedom Equity Group. They are recruiting here in Florida. They set up their agency license in October 2012 - seven months ago. Their literature suggests improbable returns for customers and commissions for agents, but never any details.
Their website says they've been in business since 2002, but both their Chairman of the Board and CEO have only had insurance licenses in their home state (CA) since 2006. If you Google said chairman, Ron Bloomingkemper, one of the things that comes up links him to a company in Texas that was selling water that purported to cure cancer. That company was sued by MD Anderson Cancer Center to stop falsely claiming that MDACC endorsed its product.
Do you see where all these little bits and pieces are going? Not towards a solid company that you want to lend your name and/or reputation to in my opinion, especially since their business model is going to involve you selling products to your network of friends/family/colleagues. This smells very much like multi-level-marketing, just using insurance as the carrot instead of miracle water or any other product you want to substitute.
