Svantaggi
If the stars don't align, you'll fail out of the program and get fired. If you fail any of your licensing exams, you're fired. As soon as you obtain your licenses, you start production. Salary starts to deplete by 10% each quarter after your first year in production . You pretty much have to bring in around $500k a month in new assets or you're fired. If you do not hit numbers for 3 consecutive months, you're fired. You pretty much have to cold call a few hundreds numbers a day to MAYBE be successful or (wait for it..... you're fired). Any month that you don't hit numbers, you will not be paid commissions. The fail rate of the individuals in the FAA program is above 70%. Training managers within the branch are just there for the title. During training, they'll force you in front of a computer to watch hours of training videos a day.
