[quote=Spaceman Spiff]I think Primerica is the only MLM program that my wife hasn’t hosted a party for.  We’ve had Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Arbonne, some sex party stuff (the only useful one she’s had as far as I’m concerned), Uppercase Living, and some others that escape me.  When she decides to have a Primerica party we’re getting a divorce.

Guys, I think this guy is just yanking YOUR chains.  He’s sitting in his chair laughing his a$$ off at you.  Re-read his posts.  Nobody is THAT stupid.

Wanna bet?

Yeah sigh … had an offer from MS, ML and AGE. Primerica shot me down in flames. I called again and told them I was producing presidents club in year two and they laughed at me and all’s I heard was click…sigh. Man!! I wish AGE had proprietary products I could sell.

I appreciate all the feedback.  The first half-week was relatively tough.  I think most of you guys are making it sound like this biz is a little tougher than it really is, at least starting out.  All I’ve had to do so far is call a bunch of old friends I went to college with several years back, some extended and immediate family members and some former work colleagues and I’ve already set about 16 appointments.  My RVP is saying if I can keep at that pace for only the next couple of years that I will be in really good shape.  I don’t know if its just because of the company I work for or because I seem pretty natural on the phone but the response I’ve gotten has been pretty positive for the most part based on the calls I’ve made so far.  I figure setting 16 meetings every 4 days for the next 3 years will be a good way to earn a living!  Now I just have to learn the products we sell and be able to encourage those that I meet with to start doing what I do and we’ll be good to go.  To all the fellow brokers out there, happy holidays!

A bunch of b.s. Must be bored with life to have started the post.

I lost a $25 million client to Primerica last week.  He needed a more comprehensive array of investment banking, underwriting, and portfolio management services that I could provide him at my national wirehouse firm.

I dunno.  Something magic just happens when a HNW client gets approached by a Primerica guy in his Sunday School class.  As soon as I see them set up a breakfast appointment at Hardees, I know it’s over for me as the FA on the account.

Are you a woman? Do you have Google? If you’re trolling, nice job.

I appreciate all the advice so far.  The vacation week was not as welcome as the week before in terms of setting appts, but my RVP says my calendar is pretty full for the month of January.  I’m hoping to have my first client at some point this week, with 3 meetings on teh books between now and Wednesday.  What do a lot of you fellow brokers see as good investments for 2009?  I’m telling some of my colleagues and prospects that energy is looking like a hot sector, while also keeping an eye on medium cap value stocks.  They didn’t have a very good year and could be poised for a rebound.

Brokers love it when rookies share their market strategies with them.
