An article in the March 17, 2003 issue of National Underwriter confirms once again that what Primerica does is right. In "Seeking Solutions for the Recruiting Crisis," the author explains that, with agent-retention levels at all-time lows, the insurance industry is finding itself in a recruiting predicament.
Currently industry statisitics show that four-year retention levels for new agents are hovering around 14%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But with the average age for the insurance producer estimated at 54, the question of who will recruit the next generation of producers becomes a pressing issue. One reason that industry finds itself in this predicament is because over the years many general agents and agency managers took their eye off their primary task: bringing new producers into the business, says Maury Stewart, a former general agent, now an executive consultant to Penn Mutual, Philadelphia, PA.
"General agents in some cases got lazy and didn't conceive the fact that they had to keep putting new people on," he adds.
: I work for a P&C Insurance Agency. I sell some of the best, highest rated companies in the country to satisfied customer and I don't have to spend my days pretending to be something I'm neither qualified nor licensed to be.
: I love my work now. I'm completely satisfied. Know why? I have an employer who cares about me, pays salary on top of commission and is committed to my success and training and believes in me.
: And that is something no one will ever get from Primerica or AFLAC. Primerica is a BAD opportunity for most. If it has a failure rate anything like AFLAC's agent failure rate, it's a bad opportunity for 99% of the people who sign on.
: : So, tell me, who do you work for, and are you totally and completely satisifed with your present position?
: : If so, great! If not, then I encourage you to find what it is that drives you and follow it.
: : Primerica is not for everyone, but it is a great opportunity for most.
: : Good luck to you in finding your happiness and successes in life!
