Enrique,
The poster "New Agent" posted an interesting link with a great deal of information and links for life agents, health agents, securties licensed individuals, p&c agents, etc.
I have a feeling you didn't really look TOO hard at the lists of companies listed there.
First of all, a quick glance at the insurance carriers lists(among many others) Travelers(part of citigroup) and GE. I think that you will find(when you get your health license) that Primerica offers the Ge Ltc contract. Many of the other carriers listed are VERY large. You might want to take another, closer look at that list.
There are also many broker dealers and securties providers listed. I noticed that Vanguard was one of them. Last time I checked, Primerica agents could offer Vanguard funds. Once again, you might want to be careful before commenting on a list like this. The fact that you have not heard of a company should not mean(to you) that they are somehow send-rate or--in your words,"no-names".
You are obviously very happy where you are and I think that is great. However, I caution you not to assume that your company is the only one on the block. First of all,it will make you look naive, and secondly you need to remember there is a LOT of competition out there. Some of that competition is VERY good.
Good luck to you.
