Pros

Tom James provides an atmosphere in which your income and growth is entirely up to you. Those who choose to work diligently toward building a clientele are afforded the opportunity to earn an income with no ceiling. And those who choose to build a team can earn additional income by training others to do exactly what they've learned themselves. The leadership income can even outweigh the sales income in the long run. In a nutshell, you decide exactly how much you are going to earn. Recognition through incentive trips and cash bonuses are also a terrific perk. The training is first rate too.

Cons

Like most commissioned sales jobs, the most diffiicult part is getting in front of the potential clients. You are not given any customers or leads, you must build your business yourself from the ground up. This means you must have the guts to get through a lot of "nos" on the phone to get to the "yeses". They teach you to get referrals however which makes phone calling much easier.

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.
