Some companies pay as soon as the policy is issued. Some don't pay until they receive the first premium payment.

I wrote some policies Tues of this week that are isued today. I will be paid tomorrow on some and paid on some of the others after the 3rd of next month when they client makes their first payment.

Good street level commission is around 110% on most FE products. Anything less than that you are paying for training and/or support. Only you can dtermine that value.

When I filled out the contracts with Scott I chose weekly pay rather than daily. Do most agents chose daily instead. Also, I noticed a few posts from you today and that surprised me because I know you said Tues. and Thur. are your days out in the field. Do you have time to check the forum between your appts. Just wondering.
 
Uploaded two apps to SNL Monday morning. Had omissions on both (looks like I could submit a clean app after being in the business for 42 years).. They called me on the phone Monday afternoon.. uploaded additional info needed. Policies issued Tuesday; commissions processed and deposited. Available on Wednesday. Tip of the Hat to them :noteworthy: Everyone I have dealt with there is top notch..

Some companies pay weekly, some pay daily. I didn't know there was a choice.

As for checking the forum, no, when I'm in the field I don't get on this forum or any others.

I was a couple grand over my weekly goal after Tues this week so I'm not in the field today. I waited for the mail to come today because I was expecting a policy to come that I need to deliever. I was going to do some doorknocking in that area of people that I haven't been able to contact by phone. But the policy didn't come so I'm not going anywhere.

That's the nice thing about being independent. You are in charge of your schedule. Travis has always been big on relaxing after you hit your goals. I haven't done that much in the past. Now I am.
