Thanks everyone. I'm currently leaning in a direction that avoids ALL MLM type organizations. I still have an opportunity to pursue a new Farmer's agency but what I am leaning towards are the financial sales opportunities.
Does anyone have any thoughts or direct knowledge of working for Prudential, AXA, New York Life or Horace Mann??
I would really appreciate the input.
New York Life has an amazing training program. They still pay better than fo New York Life has an amazing training program. The pay structure is confusing, and underwhelming. But you'll get about 750 hours of training in your first year. And the second you're done with training, There are a lot of companies that pay much better. I literally there are a lot of companies that pay much better. I literally left last month, but if you go there for northwestern mutual you are looking at exceptional training and management riding your back like a starving baby gibbon. But at the same time a lot of people make a career out of it there, and some do very very well. But they follow the mantra for sure.
Hiring masses, train them in classes, sell all their friends and then fire their asses. Awa hiring masses, train them in classes, sell all their friends and then fire their asses. Or wait for them to quit. That being said you can get a lot of great training from the guys on this forum as well. Especially DHK. That dude is a rockstar.

That was a carrier mistake just as much as an agent mistake. I realize you are or were with NYL, but a premium number that big should have generated a phone call to confirm.
As to your statement about P&C agents, you would be surprised how many barely do life. They can be a great referral source for a life agent. But they are scared you will screw up their account. Either by trying to poach them away or by upsetting them if the life insurance goes sideways. Address those issues and you could have a constant supply of prospects.
Every single time I've tried this, the property casualty agent eventually gets a life license and tries to bring them away from me. It hasn't worked yet, it's still a pain though.
