Complaint Review: Bankers Life & Casualty

I spent all of two months working for Bankers.
My trainer was incompetant, closed only one sales with me (it took 5 hours @) and was late for every appointment (up to an hour and a half). I finally stopped telling him he had tucked his shirt into the back of his underpants. I dutifully followed the steps to success.

150 dials, scripts before me, before lunch and 150 more after lunch. 20% prox. of the calls were "do not call". All the leads provided by Bankers were already extensively churned. Of the few calls that actually were answered, the most common comment from the prospect was "you Bankers agents call me all the time", followed by a hang up. Desperation in the call room hung like a cloud.

One of the most endearing phrases I took away from the training experience was "open the worry box". For my two months of day long, evening and Sat. and Sunday dails and a few appointments I was paid $122.02. Bankers has billed me $752.00 for leads and E&O coverage. I offered to pay for the E&O, however they turned me over to a collection agency. My trainer wrote some business on his own and was splitting it with me, however everything he wrote was cancelled. How convenient.

Does any one reading this have any insight to provide ? I saw a few agents who were somewhat successful through connections they already had, but most were starving.
