Don't fall out of your chair Scott as I know I'm not always giving you an AMEN but your comments were spot on. I had no idea this thread had devolved into what it has and saw my name being thrown around so I thought I'd chime in.
From the beginning every single thing I setup has been from the agents perspective, do different than what FEX does. Hell come to think of it I do find it beyond ironic that the flavor of the day on here is EFES here and EFES that and in fact EFES even existing back in 08'-09' is pretty much the sole reason I started 360 and out of that FEX was born as well. The reason? At that time there was not a single agent focussed group in the county that had fair contracts, fixed price leads, training and open releases. At that time the only box EFES could check would have been fixed price leads so there was a huge gap there. Up until Ben went there they were in my view a sinking ship until that day. That is not a knock on Eric as I think he's a good dude, but just the overall structure was clearly not getting any traction in the market. Will that change now, time will tell.
Back to all the rest of this stuff about who did what and to whom. As it pertains to me, my focus is what's best for the agent and I tried not to get in the middle of squabbles. It was hard as for a time there was a lot of squabbling and 90% of the agents were moving in one direction so it caused some friction. It's unfortunate to say the least that it came to that but it for sure did. The bottom line is that when an agent's needs are being met they don't leave if they've been around the business for awhile. I don't think the same can be true for those that are still green as they will move for some of the dumbest reasons purely because they don't know any better or because their problem is the person in the mirror, not their upline.
Happy to answer anyone's questions as that's the one great thing about this forum in that stuff does tend to get aired out over time and that's a good thing.
