I’ll try to keep this brief. My neighbors got involved with this group about six years ago. One day the wife asked to bring their representative to my house to demonstrate the sales presentation for them to observe. I don’t want to cast doubt on their true motivation but I said OK (just to be neighborly.) Since I had been involved with Amway in the late 70’s for a year or two, I was tuned into the verbage and code words. Sure enough, they were there. After a very lengthy presentation with graphs, pie charts and a ton of informational print, the woman finally got to the bottom line. Selling investment/insurance policies. Since I have a company that handles my (relatively meager) investments, I had no reason to pursue this opportunity. She saw I was a deadend but still suggested I might have 10 people to recommend. Well…NO. I’d never do that. I don’t know how much money my neighbors have invested in this venture, but I don’t see any change in their lifestyle. The wife completed the training and got some kind of license. The husband attempted the test twice and failed both times. That was about five years ago and she is still at her real job. I was asked to attended a presentation (she needed to bring people) and it was a huge crowd of extremely enthusiastic and hyperactive people held at a convention center. Because of my experience with Amway, this was all too familiar. They may have given it up as I’ve not heard anything else about it. It takes a special personality to succeed at this: aggressive, tenacious with lots of contacts. When a person exhausts family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, it’s over.
WFG gives him motivation to get through the week
What I find interesting is that I haven’t met one WFG client who actually has investments…they’re well-known for selling way over-funded indexed universal life insurance. Continue reading “Ted, glad to know that you were able to see through the muck that he (they) tried to sell you!”
