I'm confused, annie - you refer a discouraged PFSr to marketing companies??? My advise to you is to get away from PFS as soon as you get your license. If you have the drive to succeed as an insurance agent, go to any number of agencies in your area and tell them you want to sell for them. If you can really afford to go it on your own, contact life companies direct and ask for an appointment. PFS is a sham, scam and "works" for only the top of the pyramid. You should know that by know annie. Shame on you. : I have been in PFS since March and I must say that I am a little discouraged. I'm not downing the company because I have looked at the stats. The problem I have is in talking to people, and getting others involved with the company. If I were to bring in half of the people that I have invited to an opportunity meeting I'd be an RVP right now. One problem is that I don't want to tell new people that their going to have to get to the phone and call complete strangers. Some how that seems to be a complete turn off. I think the company means well and has good products, but it's just getting them out to the people. I want to go out on appointments, but it is so hard to get the appointments. I think one thing I do disagree with the company in is the idea of always being positive. I have sat and watch the video feed from Atlanta, and I have seen all of these people making all kinds of money. I ask myself "How do they do it?" I guess they must use their warm market. My problem is, I don't have a warm market. I want to know if any body can give me suggestions on how to get people into the Primerica business that are really interested. Primerica says that they will train new people, but when I started my trainer went on vacation for 3 weeks. She came back for a day and then went to another state for a week and a half because a relative was sick. She came back for two days, and then went to another state for a week and a half because a sister in law was sick. So for the first two months I had no training. I was told that I could ask others in the base shop for training, but the responsibility relies on her; not somebody else. I have brought two people into the business, but one I don't think is really interested. I want to get things going, but I don't really have the confidence in myself, and all the knowledge that I need. So I am looking for advice on how I can attract people into the business, and where are the best places to go. I am pretty discouraged right now. I don't even like to look at the video feed from Atlanta any more, because I don't know how they do it.
