Hi all.
First I want to thank all of you! This is a great site and I am thankful that it is here.
In a nutshell, I am a 3 month old life insurance newbie. And unfortunately I believed the kool aid and started with NAA. Thankfully I now see the light and see that this is not the best option for me because of all of the expenses that are incurred. And the higher the chain of commands you move up with NAA, the higher the expenses. (Ex. downline lead bill expenses, Presidents' Club requirements, membership to All Access requirements, etc.)
Fortunately, I have found a great IMO here in Atlanta and he is (in my opinion and other insurance agents) highly respected and knows a lot about marketing and this crazy life insurance business. However I am unsure that I can build a team under him, which is my goal later down the line.
I also have been approached by Securus. I like the fact that I have access to leads and a protected territory, but I am apprehensive about how will it be 1 year from now. They are recruiting a lot of people and I am worried that eventually I will be in the same predicament as I am now with NAA. There are quite a few people that were agents and agency managers with NAA that are now with Securus. ALso if I want out, how easy will it be to leave.
I believe that no matter where a person goes, if they have the right work ethic within themselves, they will succeed. My goal in 5 years is to sell insurance, but I would like to also have a team. Not a big team, but a team of about 5-10 winners that I can help grow in insurance. I can probably get a team with Securus, but not sure if I can get that with a the other IMO.
What do you guys think?
