Are they offering you a job with bene's or just commission on sales? Normally it is the latter and sort of a hard company to ever turn a really good buck. Could really be worth looking into, but if he is an independent rep I'd flat out ask to see his paychecks and W2's. Seems like they share the same problem that most network marketing companies do that there are 3 people who make gaboonz of cash and everyone else is doing $10k/yr or something ridiculous. I haven't researched them at all, but if you want could surely call my girls sisters husband and ask him since he is a rep. Be glad to do it for you if you like.

Well, I'm thinking about taking a new job as a sales agent for a fairly large insurance company.  Pay would be completely commission based...something I've never done before in my life.  I sort of like the idea...my income is only limited by my own potential.  But, likewise, is open to volatility and not a necessarily "steady" paycheck, and pay will certainly be low/slow to start with.  Though, the pay will also include uncapped quarterly bonus's for certain sales levels/etc.

So, just curious....what's ya'll opinion on something like this?  Experience?  Know someone working a commission based career? 

I'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions/experiences.

Ive thought and thought and thought on this......i keep coming up with the same thing. If you have big bills that HAVE to be paid IE house/car/loans....its a scary proposition.

If you have nothing to lose, then i say go for it.

Not too scary when you realize that 20% of the American public make more than 80% of the wages. I'd actually say a little debt is good as it is a righteous motivator.
