I agree with you regarding MDRT. However, if a company is looking to recruit agents, it's a great selling point.
BFD. Perhaps this is the root of the issue, I think a company that is willing to give an agent leads, viable product, and sales training has much stronger selling points than a company that won't give out leads.
But I doubt there's even ONE agent at AIL that has ever qualifed for the Top of the Table. (That's 6x the standard MDRT level production.) NYL has ruled the MDRT leader board for about 50 years. That says something about them.
I'm back at BFD. A guy in the office I worked for would do about $300k/year in personal life production on top of a handful of agents he managed. To me that's a pretty serious number, especially when one considers that the guy doesn't have to prospect PLUS he's getting overrides on other agents.
Again, there is no question that NYL is a different critter than AIL, but I think it's ignorant to refer to either of them as a mickey mouse company. Now if we were talking about Combined...
