Yeah, right fb-inc.com is just a "normal agency". Honey, you wouldn't know normal if it slapped you on the back and called you by name.
NORMAL agencies DO NOT recruit sales people via the internet or 800 numbers. NORMAL agencies DO NOT recruit as many sales people as they can get their hands on. NORMAL agencies know what their area can support in the way of sales and they limit the number of agents accordingly so that their agents and there by the agency itself is successful. NORMAL agencies are VERY particular about who they hire; they're not just looking to hire anyone. NORMAL agencies sell policies period, they DO NOT RECRUIT. NORMAL agencies, if you're lucky occasionally hire new agents or replace departing agents, but their agent numbers are notoriously stable.
You've never worked for a REAL agency have you. Pity.
: I don't know what idiot spouted that line to you. That has never been HBW's philosophy. The company believes in term insurance but we do not preach that it is the right thing 100% of the time.
: You know why I know this? Because at our last training session, (yes, training, not a "rah-rah" session), in Vegas in August we had vendors there giving us product/sales training on different permanent products.
: I have told Todd before that HBW is simply an Agency that allows you to recruit if you want. Our promotions are based on production numbers, not recruits!! Todd is hell-bent on bashing anything that remotely resembles MLM. Insurance general agencies are a form of MLM. In fact, I do business with another general agency that told me I could bring in another agent at a lower contract and get an override. The name of this agency if called Financial Brokerage and you can check them out at www.fb-inc.com. You will see that they are just a normal agency like everyone else.
: I think every company sometimes hires people that are a little over-zealous and they end up talking out of their asses. You want the straight scoop, ask me. And no, I don't want to recruit you. I only recruit people that are producers and want to build a client base.
