I was recently called by a "senior vice-president" for Primerica. Although, he didn't identify himself as a Primerica agent, instead he stated he was looking for people to staff and train with a Citigroup subsidiary and asked if I was interested? I said sure. To me, it sounded like a traditional job recruiter.
So I prepared for the interview, got all dressed up and off I went. Boy was I in for a suprise. All that happened was I had to listen to some guy, who had less than a regal office, pitch a multi-tier marketing plan to me. I felt like a total sucker.
I was not happy after that encounter. Yeah, he pitched all the wonderful and astounding financial figures like a juicy steak under my nose. But I wasn't biting. I have some experience with these "multi-tier" marketing plans. You can slice it any way you want but in order for anyone to make a decent profit, you must build a "network" of people below you. Otherwise you are wasting your time. If you don't believe me, look at Amway's multi-tier marketing plan. It is strikingly similiar in design to what Primerica offers.
Please, I'm not suggesting to anyone NOT to do it. But do your research!!! What you don't know may suprise or even hurt you. Rememeber, the first fundamental priciple of economics is... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH, SOMEONE ALWAYS PAYS!
