MetLife

Most of these positions are commission based. That being said, the paid training will not be much to live on. They want you hungry to make sales, not content to collect a salary.
 
i just left interview...they want 150 names of everyone i know so i can market to them metlife products, i also asked about leads an dthey said that they want me concentrating in those names before they offer me any leads....any thoughts
 
That is pretty typical. Most companies will call it a project 100 or 200. They are trying to get a feel for your networking capabilities and what your natural market is. I would not give anyone this info until a contract is in place, otherwise it is open season on your contacts.
 
They get your friends and relatives and then you die off because you can't develop leads and they have the policies. I'd rather hone my skills on strangers first. If an agent can do that, he can make it.
 
Actually, that's not true. The lapse rate is horrible for policies that have been sold by ex-agents to their relatives. And of course, the commission has already been paid.

Let's face it. Met, Pru, NYL etc...don't take everybody. And the fallout rate is high. But for those that stay...the rewards are great.

And if you are inexperienced, the odds are against you staying very long.
 
No. I have always enjoyed the independence of being responsible for my actions, but not those of anybody else. I also never was a big fan of meetings, and management always has a few more of those on their schedule.

Granted, an Agency Manager can do very well with the right people. If you're the management-type...it could work out.
 
I know at NYL the top Partners (same as the ASD's at Metlife) make $500k+ per year... Do the top ASD's make close to that?

As far as your book goes with Metlife... If you ever leave, would you get to keep it and still receive renewals? Or, would you just lose everything?
