I heard that Northwest Mutual places a upper limit on the number of active customers an agent can have; 400. Is this true?
If so what do they do with policy number 401?

I have heard of companies that require a certain amount of staff per active clients, but that normally seems to be on the P & C side.
IMO, more clients signify more income. So, there shouldn't be any problem while paying out to additional staff. Yeah, you'd certainly need to settle whether you should maintain additional staff for a 10K client.

The switchboard operator won't hang up on you. Instead of asking if you can ask a question, just go ahead and ask. "I was on an internet chat board and someone said that Northwestern agents aren't allowed to have more than 400 clients. Is this true?"
Call the home office and call a few agencies. If you take the time to make a couple of phone calls, you'll get your answer from someone other than me.

I chose an agent and called him up...
He kept asking whom he was speaking to so I lied and said I was interested in buying a whole life package. He then proceeded to tell me all I wanted to know. Don't feel good about lieing and taking up someones time...
Anyway the definitive answer is no as appart from 1 post I cannot see any evidence of this
