Depends on what your LOS is.  If it’s over 5 years, could be fairly low:  50-70% maybe.  You do have a good asset base, but it will more than likely come down to production vs. LOS.

BR is correct.  Your production is great for a LOS 2 but just okay for a LOS 5.

How long have you been in production?

In February I turned to LOS 5.  However there are lot of circumstances in regards to the production  number.

It will depend on the need of that office.  I would still peg you in the 50-70% range in virtually any market, unless that office absolutely needs another body and can pay heavily for it.

I've dealt with reps who have come out of bloody partnerships, or had deaths in the family, surgeries, etc. and while I completely sympathize for those reps, at the end of the day it's about the bottom line and it won't really make a huge difference to the BM or RM.

I think it sucks, but that's the way it is unfortunately.

how is LOS calculated?

If I started in production in April of 2002 am I considered LOS 4? 5? other?

Thanks

Thank you for your honest opinion.  That is exactly what I wanted.  I am in a partnership that is sucking me dry-and would like nothing better for me to disapear.  We are in the process of disbanding the partnership.  I asked the Director on Feb 14, 2006, the split has had 3 delay’s so far.  I am anticpating the final will be delayed until mid June when our partnership has been in affect for 3 years.  What do you think? Is it time for a change?
