In Reply to: Primerica: Why it's just anyother Multi-Tier Marketing Scam posted by Sean Levi on January 25, 2002 at 12:36:19:
SESAME STREET ECONOMICS - 1 - If you are only licensed as a life insurance agent and a mutual funds representative and you believe you can take a wholestic financial planning approach you are wrong. Let me ask you how youd hedge a portfolio against systematic risk. Sorry diversification is a text book wrong answer. You are in denial if you think you will get rich off these products alone that have a small trail and a trail only if you are even licensed with your 6 or 63. That isnt half of you on this page. Your business which is a Multi-Level-Marketing, hence largest finanical services MARKETING org; notice the legal lingo that requires them to use marketing because you are definately not the largest financial services organization, is based very much so on recruiting. Ive done corporate recruiting and guess what, not everyone wants to change thier life to a MLM anyone with a pulse can be a client life style, and believe me a salary PLUS commission is for the talented and truly competent; Anyone can go grab a commission only job at any financial services competitor. Sorry to say but the reason you are new to the industry and not receiving salary plus commission is because you have a history of slacking off in either your academic studies or other employment; hence your last desparation to grab this opportunity that youll soon find has a very poor pay out. If you are really interested in the financial industry obtain a series 7 license and 66 license your CFP and learn all the capabilities out there so you can really help people without being limited by primericas philosophy of that you only need these few products. You have fewer fund families than a 401k which is sad, and a common sense annuity; give me a break. Its funny how youll criticize MetL life insurance and then go and use thier annuity product. Where is the falacy there?? Anyone?
What you sell is sesame street economics to people that really have had no exposure to the industry. You exploit their lack of knowledge and use primerica slogans for every aspect of the business. When you are a parrot repeating the same lingo it is apparent youve given little though to do actual research yourself on the markets or how different asset classes are even correlated. A freshman with one econ 101 course could do circles around your fabricated knowledge of what you think is this whole financial realm. Well wake up and see that your not only doing an injustice by blindly leading these client sheep of yours to the slaughter house, but to say its in the name of doing whats best for clients; seriously; go study, pass exams that qualify you to actually financially advise, which is not the 6 or 63 or life, health, ltc, and do us all a favor and use some self due diligence and educate yourself first before you just try and sell stories and common sense catch phrases that sound so ammature and weak. Now you cant call yourself a financial advisor or planner because you legally are not aloud because you are completely not even close to being qualified so like i said do us a favor, go to citi.com and search for primerica and see that your parent company is so shameful of you the company is nowhere to be found on any of its main web pages. Our competitor Smith Barney of course, a wirehouse, is reputable and where they send clients for investment advise and financial planning. Guess how much pfs pays to use the citi name how bad does pfs have to milk that too its so funny well whatever helps your denial keep feeding to each other. Its like a bunch of fat kids thinking that cake is actually healthy for them if they wish it to be true. Well keep doing a great job pulling in that first paycheck thats your life and health reembersement and make sure you keep outfitting yourselves as unprofessional as possible when you show up in t-shirt and jeans to your little pep talks. and secretly i know each and every one of you has a pfs life policy u know u do too who did u compare it withuhh thats right.. no one.. u bought in to it all ;p
RECRUITING JUSTIFICATION: well lets see.. get the blind teaching the blind and say who am i to judge who will make it or not and yes then you can put your head on the pillow at night.. well, thats if you have no real judgement and are more motivated by what, oh ya, the dream of money and success; ah so hypicritical. So i get a stupid 18yr old and sell him/her the world. They feel all excited b/c they are this business owner or soon to be business owner lol. They spread the word and the regional rep takes him/her on appointments and closes all the business making more on the business than the junior rep.. which u all think is justifiable but in reality the person with the actual relationship makes the most. Well then the 18yr old just gives everyone he knows away the senior guys are happy and the junior guy thinks thats great, but then the will runs dry.. uh oh.. now its time for real business and talking to people we dont know.. ummm how about we just get another idiot to be convienced to join and well exploit his warm market.. and round and round this vicious cycle we profit the 18yr old tries to coach, but cant why.. hes not licensed or at that level.. hey they never told me that so yep.. that regional or rvp gets all that business and u thought u owned a business uh no but ur are a 1099 employee.. wait.. dont u criticise them too.. umm ya u do.. wow.. so many flaws in this model.. so there lies the reason to recruit.. it continually opens up that persons warm market and u move on.. u sleep at night because you say, who am i do judge someones potential well wake up people.. you are judged every single day by your potential and rightly so.. are you going to tell me your fund managers dont judge funds potential based off history and past performance or do you want there money invested in a company where they say.. hmmm hey lets give them a chance no.. just doesnt work that way. Oh and all this talk about how everyone else out there is Soo unhappy in corp america let me ask you your positions you had before.. mcdonalds and wallmart dont count as corp america. ya you have a few people with reputable backgrounds but there is a reason they didnt make it in thier industry either.. and to say all those people that make it are evil well is just irresponsible and makes you look so amature. Who are you to assume everyone is dissatified. Many people that are real entrepreneurs not fake MLM ones, are happy and many people in other fields are just the same. But you negative people have to just talk crap about everyone else to make yourself feel better or atleast you exploit the 18yr idiot i think ive seen as high as 40yr idiot at a volnerable time in their life so rest easy
