Commission only pay

Financial advisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, WFH, Set your own schedule. Leads are given to you to make cold calls-- Most of the time they are Life insurance policy holders with prudential its up to you to either roll them into a new policy, annuity or get them started with managed money.

Cons

Commission only structure makes it difficult to get started-- CDP program is to train candidates on how to sell, they give you up to 6 months to bring in $10,000 GDR if you cant do it then you fail out. You're paid 59% of what you bring in, its very difficult to do and if you're not passionate about life insurance try another broker focused more on the wealth management/financial planning side.

Very lenient with schedule. You could essentially make your own hrs

Bate and switch. Me along with everyone in my training were hired at a higher rate, but once training was over, they said they cut the base pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working from home is pleasant. This career is not.

Cons

Bad business. False advertising. Clients call in saying they've been advertised a stimulus check and free life insurance. Guides will transfer you fake leads. All of these count negatively against you and waste your valuable time. Many years of insurance experience and the good sales do not outweigh the negative aspects of this seedy company.
