I was accosted at the local Wal-Mart today by a two-person Primerica team. While my immediate assumption was that they were husband and wife, I quickly picked up on the fact that they were more likely a mentor/mentoree team instead. I wasn?t so much offended by their cheesy tactics as I was baffled by them.How many people are actually so gullible as to think a successful insurance salesman or money manager goes to the local Wal-Mart to drum up a sales team? If these Primerica shills were as successful as I would think they?d hope to be in a similar business, they wouldn?t have to step foot in a Wal-Mart to interview prospective employees. These people aren?t selling financial products so much as they?re selling themselves.Sadly, neither of these two jamokes grasped the first step of making a successful sale which is to divorce oneself from the desire for the outcome. From moment one they reeked of trying to delve into my pocket and social network at any cost.No thanks.When you sell yourself to family and friends, you do just that. If you get them to buy, you have perhaps put a few quick dollars in your pocket, but in so doing you traded integrity that you once had with the people who trusted you most. This same integrity, mind you, is integrity that you cannot easily buy back. Regardless of how big your sphere of influence might be, staying on this path will guarantee that your well will eventually run dry. Granted, those very few select big wigs at the top of the Primerica pyramid (by the way, if you?re reading this then it?s too late to join their ranks) may earn a livng, the newest recruit however will simply soil his reputation to family and friends.Not my bag, Baby, and if you?re smart, it won?t be yours either.

This is a pyramid scheme. They just want you to recruit more people and rip off your friends and family so the people on the top of the pyramid can get rich. Look up how much the average agent makes and you will see what it is all about. According to their own website, the average income of a Primerica representative in 2010 was $5,296 - what a joke:

I got a phone call today from JC after I referred to his name I found he is from Primerica.  I have spent alot of money on Primerica with another firm.  Just to join it was like 300.00 dollars and then writing tests and all it was way more than I expected.  I really hope this will stop.
