Pros

-An overall good culture of highly motivated and encouraging people. -A chance to make unlimited income based on your own hard work -Great experience building a business from the ground up and calling on/working with successful people. -Most will continue to try and help you be successful and come up with new ways to help -Monthly bonuses you can hit for cash and other things.

Cons

-It takes a long time and a LOT of hard work to build your clientele from scratch -Management unwilling to bend when/how you get the job done. You have to be back for phone time from 3-5pm, can't come back to the office during the day if needed, etc. If I'm getting my appointments booked why does it matter what time of day I do it? -Lack of leadership training in some offices. I was overlooked while it was clear there was a struggle with leadership. You've got to care for new people, especially when they're building a business from nothing. -Be prepared to work 70+ hours a week for the first year, if not the second as well. -Your support and success will really depend on your office and your leader. Sales is demanding and you need the correct support.

Pros

Not only is there unlimited opportunity/commission, but there’s unlimited personal development. The leaders constantly are challenging me to think with principles, think big for my goals, and giving me resources to achieve those goals. The people I get to serve for my clients are to top division makers, influencers, and income earners in Austin and I’m honored that they trust us to serve them.

Cons

Building a business requires thinking big, thinking strategically, and getting out of my comfort zone. As with any business, the better you do the more problems you face and are challenges to solve.
