Ok guys hopefully this thread doesn't get deleted.
for a long time I have used this site as well as other sites to gain insight on this field that I've been interested in for such a long time. I received my license last summer but never used it up until October when I was contacted via indeed by an individual from NAA.. I won't put any names out there because I'm not here to recruit for or plug the specific agency I'm with. Did I drink the kool-aid? why yes I did and I have read many of the negative comments on here regarding NAA and other companies similar to it.
I will be completely honest and say that yes some of the claims on here are indeed true. They do talk about team building/mlm etc. But I've been at it for 5 months and I've made great money. I mean you can't argue with results..
First and foremost I'd like to address the idea that agents from NAA don't do whats best for the clients.
I try to find the most cost effective avenue for my clients. To try and pass of the idea that upselling is exclusively an NAA practice is nonsense. That is a practice done by sleazy insurance agents of any company. We're not captive so we have options
Secondly, YES I pay for leads!! but why is this a big deal. When I worked in advertising I made a killing on pushing ads to insurance agencies.. quarter pages, half, whole... they needed to advertise as well as rank their blogs websites etc.. why did they do this? to generate business because they knew that no one would just come fall into your lap. Now if you advertise on a consistent basis you'll actually spend far more than you would spend with buying A-leads. and at the end of the day those leads have a high rate of return and I always make far more than what I spend on leads.. ALWAYS
Lastly, MLM'ers ...yes I will not lie and be coy about it. it is MLM! But its not required. that aspect of the business allows you to make higher commissions quicker thats it. I know fellow agents who have been in the business over 2 years and they don't recruit but strictly produce.
Interestingly enough one of my good friends from college who was with AIL joined symmetry a few months after I got with NAA. He and I go back and forth joking considering the history of both companies. Now he pushes many of their more expensive products.. not ethical but that doesn't mean the whole company does that. Personally minus my first month in the field I have made no less than 4500 a month since this past October and that from buying their leads and not pushing the most expensive stuff I can find.
At the end of the day insurance is an amazing field that I wish I would've known about earlier in life like lets say around 21
...
I just wanted to share my experience with people who might be considering doing insurance that read this forum as I have. Regardless of what company you decide to go with just remember to have some sense of integrity..
