Subject: Re: Your honest opinion of working as an agent (long)
Comments: : Hello, : My biggest concern about this is that I've put myself in debt to try and get this off the ground, and the company would just as soon let me twist in the wind as provide me with the tools for success. I know alot of self-employed business owners are completely on their own, but they're not working under the umbrella of a bigger corporation. : It seems the reason most people get into this business is to have a shot at a six-figure income. The companies feed this by speaking of their unlimited income potential. The key word there is potential. : I liked the independent nature of the position. I wouldn't get "written up" or anything like that in the event of a family emergency or illness. Of course, no work equals no pay. All very reasonable. I like meeting people and trying to help them by selling them a useful intangible product. But sometimes it seems that I pour all my time and money into this, and have little or nothing to show for it. : I don't want to be misguided in my opinions or plans, nor can I afford to get involved with another company like this one. Of course, knowledge is power, and this has been a learning experience. But if I could do it all over again, it would have been with someone else. Choosing an agency in my own town rather than having to drive 200 miles per week to go to a meeting might be a good start.Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. : Thank you, : William
