Senior Services of North America is not a scam. The company is considered to be a national leader in the Medicare health insurance marketplace. It allows agents to work with some of the best insurance companies in the industry that have the highest financial ratings. SSNA has excellent employee reviews.

If you are considering working with SSNA, you don’t need to worry about it being an MLM or pyramid scheme opportunity. You won’t be expected to recruit new agents, instead, you will be working directly with partner insurance carriers.

My Thoughts

In this article, you’ve seen how Senior Services of North America works. As a National Insurance Agency owner since 2013, I’d like to offer my perspective on a few key points you should consider before choosing to work with SSNA or any other insurance company.

Commission Rates

Commission percentages vary widely from agency to agency and the type of product you’re selling.

That’s what you should not accept the commission the organization offers without researching the rates of different carriers. If the offered rate is lower, check whether there are any benefits that come with this commission level that you won’t be able to get elsewhere.

Many insurance agencies operate as multi-level marketing organizations. Within their mass recruiting strategy, there will be other agents between you and the big earners at the top of the hierarchy. Because everyone needs to get paid, there’s less room for higher commission levels.

If you work for an MLM agency, your commission level is likely going to be below average.

I recommend finding an organization that values training and supports new agents, such as my agency, Duford Insurance Group. Working directly with all my agents allows me to offer them higher commission rates.
