Give Jim Zumbo a call. Rumor has it he is looking for a new and exciting career.
The average Primerica recruiting meeting is a mix of Amway Hype and an Alanon meeting. I wish you the best of luck bro, but you would be best off getting your licenses and going to work for a reputable firm like NY Life, Met or another company with a solid track record of something other than fraud lawsuits.

It took mcdonalds 14 years to get to 10% market share, and another 14 years to go from 10% to 90%. It's called the S-curve.

A bank that pays .075 % on a 100k 10yr CD makes $900,000, but the holder of the CD only makes 7500.
The average reading level adults read is 8th grade when it comes to finance... but the credit card company writes their "terms and conditions" in the 15th grade reading level, and the part about the interest in the 27th grade level. Who in the hell reads at that level????
The average college kid stays with his first credit card for 15 years.
The above highlighted in red is the same stuff spouted off at every Amway, Mon Avie, XYZ MLM meeting around the world. Why? Because they know most people are broke and dreams of wealth motivate people. They bring up facts and stats that touch people where they live...they strive to make a connection. Once that has been accomplished, they strut out multi-millionaires who got rich with "Primerica." He or she drones on about how they were average joe's like you and now they lie around in their mansions, getting out of the pool long enough to go to the mailbox to get another check! The checks keep on coming.
The truth is, most of those people were already rich. They were brought into the deal long before it became public. They have ownership stakes in the company. They also get paid big $$ to come and speak at these events. Additionally, they get a % of the door take and the book/cd sales.
Less then one tenth of one percent of people who join MLM's after the first month of its inception make any decent money. The rest make enough to recover their entry fee....most don't even do that.
Keep drinking the Kool-aid. What they don't tell you is how much they make off of you while you are struggling to make a paycheck. Life insurance is a tough business. Most people get into it and sell policies to their family and friends. Start of very good. Then comes the hard work. Cold calling, appointment generating and meeting people in their homes night after night only to have them ignore your calls for months at a time. Primerica counts on this.
They count on most people selling to family and friends, then quitting when the hard times start. Most people with Primerica NEVER get a solid book of business that they can live off of. Even those that do NEVER OWN THEIR BUSINESS. It will forever belong to Primerica Financial Services. PFS gets the inflated premiums, the renewals and when you quit, they keep all the commissions. Not very ethical, but hey, it is America and as a famous American on so eloquently stated, "there is a sucker born every minute."
Seriously, take it from someone who has been in the Insurance and Financial Planning a LONG LONG time. You sound like you have a lot of drive and ambition. You can do MUCH better than Primerica.
