My Thoughts
Now that you know a little bit more about The Leazer Group, I’d like to provide my perspective.
Just so you know a little bit about my background:
I have sold final expense insurance since 2011 and have run a national insurance agency since 2013 specializing in final expense, Medicare Advantage, as well as annuities.
Lower Commissions Than Other Organizations
As is very common in the insurance business, a lot of organizations pay significantly less commission than others.
In the case of The Leazer Group, their commission payouts are lower than other organizations.
While commission isn’t everything, it does make a big difference. The more your commission rate is, the more take-home you make on each individual sale.
Emphasis On Recruiting
Like a lot of insurance organizations, The Leazer Group does put an emphasis on recruiting insurance agents.
For example, many organizations encourage new recruits to actively begin recruiting their close family and friends.
This need to bring contacts to the table often overrides the virtues of building an agency, creating passive income, and increasing their overall welfare in the business.
The problem with that thought process is it’s very difficult to train somebody when you have no experience yourself.
Inadvertently, many of these organizations that follow this process have a high attrition rate, with many agents quitting well in advance before they could get started. Simply because opportunities weren’t there.
So be mindful of that before joining The Leazer Group or any other organization.
Ask yourself how important it is to recruit versus learning how to sell. Make your judgment based off of what matters most to you.
Summary
Bottom line, The Leazer Group is a great organization and is perfect for the right agent. Regardless of which organization you decide to join, always do your due diligence first.
While there are great organizations out there, no organization is perfect for everyone. What one person may find is a perfect match, another may find as being the worst match possible.
