The word commission isn't spelled "comission" hope this helps! :wink:

Your career with Primerica will be short lived as Citigroup is bankrupt.

You are already focused on yourself and not your prospective clients. Your career is already over before you've even sold your first policy.

Professional Insurance Sales is something you do for someone not something you do to someone.

Gary, yes it is true that ultimatley our job is to educate our clients so that they can make the best decision possible but I dont think you can knock they guy for inquiring how he might be compensated for his time. I don't think there is a single agent out there that would do this work for free.

To answer your question tellmenow, Yes commission does vary from company to company however I dont think this forum is the place to discuss your compensation. You should probably sit down with your GA and have a talk about this subject. Im surprised you dont know this already.

GOOD LUCK!!! YOUR GONNA NEED IT!!!
