"Need time to build a business base"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at New York Life full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Excellent training, great and competitive products and company strength and reputation, they are the best at what they do.
Cons
It's 100% commission, so you will need time and resources to build your business unless you are able to sell from the day you get licensed by the state. And then there's more training on products required to be able to sell.
Advice to Management
Be clear about how difficult it can be to find and close on sales prospects and therefore earn money - a living. Offering a base of business to at least service and get renewals from would help new agents survive early on.
