Pros

For a company this large, there's a very entrepreneurial, flexible atmosphere. You're managed by clear expectations and easy-to-prove results. Management opportunities increase as you reach objective performance milestones and reflect the company's business principles. Really great culture. After you get 300 or so clients, the day to day is sort of like driving around hanging out with friends and mentors. Clients are really successful people.

Cons

It's a tough job—a lot of prospecting, takes time and a ton of hard work to build a clientele. You have to be willing to pick up the phone, make a lot of dials, and handle a lot of rejection. It's more than just pure sales. You have to manage an entire business: customer service, measuring/fitting, A/R, monitoring your P&L statements, etc.

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.
