OK.. the basic google research has been done. Here's a few questions and forgive me ahead of time, the answers may be obvious.
This company is actively recruiting FE agents(along with funeral preneed). I've listened to a few calls and they repeatedly say, "we are employees of the company(SNL) -- you will NOT be an employee."
Is this considered an IMO? Is it captive?
One of the main selling points of them being an "employee" is it's their "job" to help you/agents. A direct Mgr, office mgr, any support staff will be available at any point while visiting with a client. They stressed - "not like the others" .. who are mavericks and pick and choose who they will work with.
They pointed out the pitfalls of the IMOs bringing on 50-100,200 nationally hoping a few will stick. Apparently with their structure, although sales has a natural turnover rate, they tend to keep agents due to the 'one on one' nature of training they provide.
AP numbers weren't shared but they dismissed others who offered 80% so it's higher. They have a lead program as well.
My first thought is - what a great opportunity for a new person. My second thought is I haven't heard anything else about yet...
They are "employees.. Available at all times.. renewals.. publicly traded.. on going training etc .. but somehow I get the feeling agents get screwed somehow because they make it very clear YOU ARE NOT EMPLOYEES BUT WE ARE..
I don't know..
