Great income for motivated and personable individuals. Tremendous products and sales system. Team environment offers great support.

Rejection can be tough, but that’s sales and you get used to it. The travel was a sacrifice, but for my family the financial rewards were well worth it.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good money good people fun environment
Cons
Work out of town away from the family a lot
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Wayne Briggs, owner of the company, is a wonderful human being who cares for every one of his employees. Incredible earning potential in a company that will test everything in you and believe in you when you don’t believe in yourself. This company changed me for the better!
Cons
It’s not an easy job but if you can do it the rewards are great.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Great for the go-getter type of person looking for uncapped commission
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
You work 4-days a week and can honestly decide how hard you want to work and be rewarded for it. Vacations have never been easier to take off for and the company provides the support necessary to succeed.
Cons
Away from home Mon-Thur, sometimes Sun-Thurs. You cover all expenses out of pocket. A couple weeks I've had to drive over 6 hours to get to territory, I live in Colorado. Not a fan of that.

Pros
Flexible hours Gym and trainer Dress code and casual Friday's The people/culture/atmosphere Being appreciated by the company as a whole Work life balance
Cons
People who read these reviews and compare the sales field to the home office. Totally different work environments. It is unfair to compare them to each other.
You’re right—the opportunities available in our home office and on our sales team are different, each with their own advantages. Thank you for sharing your experience in our home office.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I have spent 30 yrs in insurance sales, one the best policy I have ever seen. Fair compensation. A great way to break into insurance sales. If you can make it here you need to get with a company with leads.
Cons
They literally knock on random doors. Of course a good salesman can turn one sale into referrals. They literally have to get written to get permission from county/city due to knocking, knocking and more cold door knocking.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your experienced perspective on our product and sales process. Our expansion in to states such as Wyoming, Idaho and Utah is still fairly new, and the hard work of those teams to reach new customers is recognized. As we build a stronger foothold in those states, like our Midwest states, visits with referral leads and current customers will become more common. As a company, we value compliance with state and county regulations, so, for that reason, we do request permits in the areas in which we work. Thanks again for sharing your experience. We wish you the best in your current role.

If you get anxiety from talking to strangers then this is not the job for you.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
High income potential...if you can get past all the unpleasantness of the cons below My team leaders were really caring and understanding of me and my needs Great product, no doubt about it
Cons
The cold calling - driving around all day, knocking on random strangers doors and using the spiel to hopefully convince them to hear you out later in an "appointment." The word appointment is in quotations because you generally don't set certain times to meet people, but instead the customer will just say whatever to a time window, like 6-8 or 8-10 where you can stop back by and hope they are are actually there and still willing to hear you out. About 95% of the time you are turned down on your first visit to the door. And if you do get an agreed upon time window to stop back by at least 50% of those will fall through for one reason or another. Most people just are not very happy to have random people show up to their door trying to sell things, even with a carefully crafted spiel. Its an independent contractor job where you pay all your own expenses(even when you first start) and are paid through commission. You have only one week with your trainer and are completely on your own the second week regardless of whether you feel you're ready.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We appreciate hearing about your perspective. There’s no doubt, this career is for those who can take on a challenge for great reward. That’s one reason the commission and bonus opportunities are so significant. Representatives who find success here are highly motivated by the customers they are able to help and the financial and life goals this career helps them realize. Nearly 75 percent of our representatives earned six-figure incomes in 2018. We want to offer as much support as we can to help our representatives succeed as soon as possible, which includes pre-field training, self-study and first-week training. The sales process is pretty straightforward, and the best way to be truly ready, is to give it a try on your own and continue learning from those experiences. Something that sets Platinum apart is the fact that your team and team leaders are with you and available to lend a hand when you need it. Thanks, again, and all the best in your next position.
