If you want some additional interesting reading, look into Allianz having to sue him & his partner for a domain registration issues in the last year or so. If I remember it correctly, the panel was confused as to what he or his partner actually did for a living & Allianz Partners was possibly an upline for producers to go through, but I didnt read the whole thing. It looked like it could have been a misunderstanding or some innocent marketing liberties taken. WIPO Domain Name Decision: D2017-2151
Looks like he started what appears to be an IMO of some sort called Independent Excellence group or at least some sort of group of professionals working together. Pretty decent concept if everyone is properly licensed to sell the types of securities mentioned & appointed with all the carriers advertised. But kind of weird to hide him being involved if he is the greatest annuity sales person of all time and great trainer. It would seem you would want to make that a focal point. ie-group

I was not aware of any of these items earlier in the thread when I was challenging the marketers. My skepticism was really based on the "personal production" numbers that the FMO continued to claim. The truth would have been impressive enough to simply state that he has helped/trained others that have cumulatively produced 2 billion. It looks as if this is the age old recruiting tactic in which FMOs use to recruit by grossly overstating the reality. Now they are so caught up in the lie that they cannot back down....or couldn't until you brought these "allegations" to light.
Any more info on this? Randomly talked to a guy who works with this David, he said the same thing... $2b in sales.
Any more on this? I randomly talked to someone recently that said the same thing... $2b in sales

Again its personal production not cumulative of the IE Group. The IE Group is not an IMO, I am a marketer at the FMO he runs his business through. The IE Group is simply a think-tank, a collective of individuals who have taken part in his mentorship, or have written a minimum of 4M in annuities annually, with our IMO. IF they qualify they get to attend the IE Meetings and use the IE Marketing collateral. Everyone assuming that they know the man's production levels when they have never meet him, is pretty funny, Merrill Lynch has paid David millions of dollars to train their reps, as well as independent reps paying him for his personal mentorship-which is now being offered, at no charge, for one year only because that is the agreement we made with the great santini. The IE Group is simply a networking event, credibility tool, and chance to meet some celebrity speakers and industry experts.

Complaint came from a competitor and it was simply over marketing materials which have been adjusted long ago.
If you receive July's "Insurance News Net" magazine in the mail, you can't miss the front page ad touting a (paid ad) interview with one David Polus. He's billed as "The Great Santini," the Greatest Annuity Producer of All Time, claiming more than $2 billion in sales. I'll admit that the interview is useful and insightful but a Google search to learn more turns up NOTHING.... except a single link to his website. The ad concludes with an offer to learn his techniques but -- get this -- when you go to the website you're told they're Sold Out of the CD course. Huh?

The CD is being replaced with an online training module, with scripting, video, and audio available through our agent portal. It's something that is still being built out to match the other training platforms we offer in the same format. The CDs we found to be a bit dated and wanted something more comprehensive. The class itself is different from the CD, and the module, those items are to revisit what you learned in the one on one trainings with David. To attend a David Polus 3 day mentorship class, you would have to reach out to M&O Marketing as its a training only available to our agents and advisors-for the time being at no cost. It used to be $6,000 per agent. Which is still a steal considering Merrill has paid him hundreds of thousands in the past to train their reps.

First, that person is a spam-bot of some kind - just re-posting other people's posts.
Second, company speaking fees are always higher than advisor-paid training costs.
