Has anyone worked for Primerica? I have a friend who is an associate there, and they have really been trying to get me on board. It sounds, bonus wise and pay wise, amazing, but almost too good to be true. Experience?

I'm leaning towards a new job. I really like my company, but pay is only okay. With my ex's bills, lower pay isn't cutting it. Can I ask, what's your favorite place you've worked?

I don't know what everyone is so against Primerica for. I started out 8 months ago as a side hustle, and I just quit my job to go FT with Primerica. I've had a great experience. If you don't like a company, there's really no reason to be rude or falsely accuse it as an MLM.

Are there sales people who sell exclusively to friends and family? Yes. Are they the best reps? No. Just like with any sales rep job, you get creative with leads. That's a gross generalization.

OP please note how everyone used a laugh reaction to my message above, but NO one actually responded. It's because there are no legit reasons behind their dislike. All talk.

Unwarranted brag? How was I bragging? I was giving a review of a company the OP talked about. Given that, you know, I actually have personal experience with said company.

Thanks for your input, everyone! It sounds like I'm going to have to head for a new role somewhere else. Anyone have any recommendations? If so, please do let me know. Divorces are expensive even when your wife doesn't charge $36k to your credit card.

That's too bad. Primerica does some really wonderful things. Hope you reconsider.

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.

Writing annual goals. What are examples of how to write “quantifiable” goals as a consultant? Are you measuring number of relationships built, projects, or something else?

Most of consulting is advising on solutions to problems, but I don’t control the outcome, whether the advice is implemented, or the budget. Sales is easy (e.g. “sell $2M of products/services this year”) because there is a clearly defined measurement. What can consultants measure?

I’ve been with my current company for just over 6 months as a BDR. (3 yrs prior sales experience, but this is my first tech role.)
Even though it meant starting at the bottom, I took this role for the opportunity it would provide, as my previous industry didn’t have growth potential.
A role just opened up on a CSM team that would be a much better fit— the official policy is that you stay in your role for 12 months before moving. Should I apply for the CSM opening anyway? What would you do?
