Pros

gain experience that translates well to a lot of other sales settings. Company does a great job of teaching you goal setting and hard work. Get to work with successful people and build great connections. Great reward trips and opportunity to make good money from the first month if you have a good start.

Cons

it is a constant hustle, every month it starts over from the beginning (straight commissions) and people tend to burn out . Very high turn over since the people that are actually successful from the get go are few and far between, but sales for the company stay constant since other reps will just take over the clients of people that left. Required to constantly be face for company for mistakes, timing issues, etc, which leads to a lot of apologizing and begging for sales.

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.
