I am talking to one of the big wigs at NAA, Alex Aybuyan, and he seems like and honest and trustworthy guy. I have done my due diligence on him and everthing I can find seems to be good. I have been down some wrong roads and can not make another mistake. Can anyone please fill me in on NAA, is it a good company?

if all you want to do is recruit agents and not sell insurance then he is your man.

I joined NAA as a newly licensed agent. I enrolled in their various online trainings, which were very good and free, however, was pressured heavily to travel across the country to participate in conventions at a price as well as face to face training, which would have cost me considerble traveling expense.
One of the problems was at signing one is not aware that the full product line of any given company is limited by their GMA contract with the company and limitations in each State. In my case, they gave me a trainer who was consistently unaware of California regulations, although he was dedicated in every other respect.
In addition there were other limitations. I was ready to place a good policy for a client and was told that I couldn't place those policies unless they were more than 900k worth of coverage, although the insurer had no stipulations like that. I wasn't told that before making the offer so it looked bad to the client. My hands were tied at many junctures.
Their lead program is their biggest campaign. It ends up that the old leads, some were 1-3 years old, were claimed to be 90 days old but could be bought cheaply. To get to the good leads a manager had to approve you by virtue of sales which were hard to ferret out from leads which were no better than me going to the phonebook myself. Plus those leads were $25.00 each. Later I found a lawsuit was filed back in the Southeast US: it was in a Pdf I found online, against one of their leaders for obtaining leads under false pretenses. The Insurance Commission in ....could have been either Virginia or one of the Carolinas...found one of the bigwigs guilty and they were fined.
You have to have money to throw at the leads ...no way around it...marketing will cost you money and the people at the top make more money than you. The initial commission was at 55%. I did benefit from the sales training, however and it didn't cost me anything.
Judge for yourself.......there are better opportunities out there but I don't regret getting the training and am glad I got out before all my money was eaten up by the cost of leads. The lawsuit regarding the lead generation offended my sense of honest business, so I felt I couldn't continue with them. |

I have been a member of a few other related forums and it seems a though there were many who got a start there but not many, if any, stayed for very long.
In addition, former agents will be on their attempting to sell a catalog of naa training dvds a mile long. Each one came at a price to the agent. I think that if you are new and need training and support, that they are an option. I'm not sure how they stack up to your other options though.
One thing you should find out FOR SURE is who keeps you business when you leave. Are you vested from day one? after one year? 5? And also get in writing that they will give you a release upon request. I got suckered in by a real loon that promised a lot and delivered on none then wouldn't release me.
