Used to be 8-10 per week, now down to 4-5. 200 households, only meeting with qualified prospects, maybe 1 per week.

Same here. 8 in person each week. 5 over the phone weekly. They last between 45 mins to 1 hour tops

6-8

2 appointments a day???????

I’ve got 300 households. Only about 20 of them actually want more often than annual reviews.
So the math works if I do 8-10 FTF per week

Yes. Two appointments per day.
You sound surprised??

I am doing 14-18 a week and feeling exhausted. If I scale it back to 10-12 I think I’ll feel a big relief. Thank you all for the replies!

I have a lot of student debt from law school. I’ve refinanced a couple of times and received the best fixed rate available, but I’ve seen others refinance with a variable rate which of course is lower. I’ve read some other comments of people refinancing at a super low variable rate....isn’t this risky? Of course I am afraid of going variable and then the interest rates going up a lot. Am I missing something?

Any NICU nurses out there? How much are we generally making? I interviewed with a different hospital than where I am now (lower acuity) and they offered $8 more than I am making now. My HR team promised a match if I didn’t leave, so I stayed and 2 weeks later all they said they could do was $2 more. Thoughts?!

I've an extremely unpleasant experience with this company. We sent them a legal notice and my lawyer even lodged a compliant with the Florida Attorney General but in vein. These people don't bother about legal notices as they know most advisors don't have time and wherewithal to go to litigation.

Due to limitation of space I can't write in detail, but please contact me if you like to know my entire experience with ADVISOR FUEL. Don't fall prey to their tactics.
