Advice to Jobseekers
May sure you have some money stocked up first, before coming on
as an independent agent. It takes time to get clients,
especially big ones. The process usually takes some time (week -
smaller clients to months - for larger clients). You really have
to work hard, so just get ready. I've been with the company for
over a month, and I still haven't gotten a check because I
haven't enrolled any new clients yet. The process of
acknowlegement to enrollment usually takes a couple of weeks.
Just because a company decides to enroll, still doesn't mean you
are PAID. You have to enroll the client and send their
information down to WWHQ (in Georgia) to be official. You are
usually paid within 72 hours after that. You are paid a
percentage of what you sell. Some programs are worth more than
others, so you are usually encourage to push those programs.
