Life insurance sales person - Anonymous employee Symmetry Financial Group Employee Review

Great place to work, all the training you could ask for. Ample room to grow and develop, loads of promotion opportunities and bonuses

1099/commission only think of it as a solo entrepreneurship. Leads are available, but not given to you, you do need to pay. But think of it like the marketing costs to run any business. While there is an abundance of coaching and opportunities available as a whole. Who your uplines are can determine your success if you let it. So do your research on which agency you go with. Some are production focused, some are agency building and vibes focused. Some healthy combination of both. If you’re just getting into sales, having an upline with a record of success is a must. With massive amounts do activity you can be very successful

Work your own hours. Stay at home job 60% of the time. Very positive environment. Great conventions to travel and meet people. Potential to recruit everyone you know. When your up - feels amazing to be there. And once you take a turn, well then, see below...

Let me explain to you - that - it pains me to write this. This company took me a long way. But what I never realized, is if you compaire them to other brokers, they are low on the compensation scale. Start at 60% - I have had offers to start at 70% and even 85%. If you don't like running a team and recruiting, then don't bother. If you manage to write enough business to make a living, you need to get help - you would need to hire people to set appointments. Your really running your entire business and your upline will give you the moral boost. The Con is the debt - you will end up going bankrupt, owe the IRS - and probably be reported to Vector and go bust. They pressure you into taking out more lead orders, it gets expensive. Ah - you best hope nobody charges back a deal. The business is a doggy dog world. The guys who recruit are at the top of the chain. The sad truth is I made my upline thousands, when I was going broke, he wouldn't loan me a dime to save my life. I was selling everything I own, and taking out more debt to pay for leads. I was a great agent, above average - in fact I made it much farther then 80% of the new hires. No benefits, No 401k, No insurance, once you pay for leads and benefits, you best hope your buying the $30 dollar leads to get some good clients. It is really hard, I think if you make it, you probably know how to run a business - not for an average Joe in my opinion.
