Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate you for taking the time to share your experience. Without knowing more about your time at Symmetry it is difficult to know which aspects interfered with your success here. We work diligently to provide quality leads in all areas and to consistently improve our processes. We do have many successful agents in California and it is unfortunate you were not able to connect with those individuals. We appreciate your time at Symmetry and do wish you would have had a more successful experience. Thank you again, we wish you the best of luck in all future endeavors!

Pros

Self-Employed, No direct boss, 1099

Cons

Not an entry level opportunity. If you are new to the Insurance industry and do not have prior experience, then chances are you will likely struggle. Also, the leads are expensive ($26 for "NEW" leads..whatever that means) and majority of the new leads purchased were questionable at best. i.e. don't speak english, spoke with someone from another company, told agent I wasn't interested etc. For example. I purchased a NEW lead for $26, called the individual on the lead form only to find out that he had already been contacted by the telemarketing department to which he told them explicitly that he did NOT want to hear from an agent...this happened multiple times. Their direct mail lead generation business unit is not what it is cracked up to be which was the main reason for me to join the organization. Besides, if you contract direct with the Insurer your contract rate is upwards of 90% commission instead of the 60% SFG offers. You will save yourself a ton of money and have a better chance obtaining clients randomly using the phone book. Best of luck!

Pros

none the lies sound good at first

Cons

lower than industry commissions. THEY CHERRY PICK THE LEADS!!!!You will pay full price for leads and only get the old people . This product is geared for people 25 to 50and 75% of the leads were for over 65 and the premium for them was crazy high. Try to sell a $700 a month policy to a senior, Impossible. Lied to me over and over,stay all the way away from these crooks. Leads were $27 a piece and they basically take back all you make in lead costs.

I can appreciate your perspective, however, the information you have provided is quite inaccurate. I am not sure what is meant by cherry picking leads but agents have exclusive access to leads 5 weeks after they purchase it and we provide credits in the event of any possible discrepancies. We are very clear when joining Symmetry that you are running a business, this requires financial investment in the operations of your business including lead purchases. Those who struggle to understand and manage these concepts will inevitably struggle to be profitable at Symmetry. I wish the experience would have been more positive at Symmetry and hope you have been able to find something that is a better fit for you moving forward.
