The average commission on a mortgage protection product is approximately $600 per family you protect. Our expectation is that a full-time agent will sell 5 to 10 mortgage protection plans per week. In addition to mortgage protection, we also have a selection of premium financial products to help people save for retirement or protect their current retirement accounts (e.g. 401k's and IRA's) from losing money in the stock market. We have extensive training on how these products work and how to sell them. In addition to uncapped commission, we have a competitive bonus structure program along with incentive trips agents/managers can qualify for based on their individual and team results.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="text-decoration:none;">***No agent’s success, earnings, or production results should be viewed as typical, average, or expected. Not all agents achieve the same or similar results, and no particular results are guaranteed. Your level of success will be determined by several factors, including the amount of work you put in, your ability to successfully follow and implement our training and sales system and engage with our lead system, and the insurance needs of the customers in the geographic areas in which you choose to work.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p></p><p></p>
