The Shank Agency

[revcall]

Has anybody heard of this? Seems a bit sketchy but my wife has a meeting with them. I'm trying to get the truth of who they are and what they do (and what the catch is).

When I first go into that website, it tells me about cash rich, part time job etc. These are red flags. THERE IS NO GET RICH QUICK JOB.
Everything takes time and that means putting in full time work. Sure, you can work part time and make $45k a year maybe a bit more. But when you go get a career in any insurance or investment company, you will need to work full time. For the sake of the client, a representative needs to be available during working hours at the least. That's 40 hours plus a week. Otherwise, the representative will come off as a scam artist.
What is it that your wife really wants to do for a living? We all want to make money... But I strongly suggest she run away from this as it looks looks a MLM and I'll bet they will ask her to write a list of top 25-50 friends and family members on which she can try to sell to. Then when she quits, they have her list they can use to push their plans on.
There are better ways. PM me, I'm happy to help her out on the better route.

The Financial services guys in our building say its slow. I know life insurance took a hit. From looking at the site and watching the movie they sure make a lot of promises but literally give you no info on the actual product/ carrier/ etc...

Inc 500 means absolutely nothing with regard to the quality of the service, its simply growth. A lot of companies in Inc 500 are scams... 29prime being one of them.

250 1 star reviews but was inc 500.

But not before she has to sit through a sales pitch herself, where they'll try to sell her products.

You can't be listed on Inc 500 unless you first pay a membership fee.

Haha! Many years ago my pastor's last name was Shank. I've never met anyone else with that last name. So, out of curiosity, I clicked the link. That's his son, Jordan! Last I heard, he was running a lead gen company. I guess he got into sales at some point. I can vouch for his dad, but I never knew Jordan as an adult, just a squirrely kid when I was teaching 1st graders in Sunday School. Small world sometimes!
