Federal Financial Group & Rick Dixon World Financial Group, FFG, FFG2 Pyramid Scam - They only make money from your recruitment fees Draper, Utah
Hello Everyone -
Federal Financial Group is a scam. Federal Financial Group is a pyramid scheme. Rick Dixon has gotten into trouble before operating a similar pyramid scheme called World Financial Group. He also uses top notch, very expensive Reputation software to prevent the truth from being written on the web. Thank goodness for forums like these.
I have lost months of my life, many - many fees & hours memorizing a script. When I got over all of the hurdles, there was no money. The top tier officials are making money from the pyramid scam ... your recruitment fees. And if you research long and hard (like I did), you will find the "managers" are employed elsewhere (in my case, AXA). That is how they survive. FFG is a part time gig - all of this, is undisclosed of course.
Trust me - & run! I wish someone had done this for me. Or that someone had posted about the pyramid scam. The trick is that nobody is getting past the script to find out. Well, I did. I got past the script and I am telling you, this is an MLM/pyramid design and the only way to make money is off management fees.
I signed up on this forum to try and help the community. Again, Federal Financial Group is a pyramid scam. Federal Financial Group is illegally taking recruitment fees and there are attorneys looking into this... including the Federal Trade Commission. I know because I checked. It will only be a matter of time before they are stopped and shut down.
Rick Dixon's real reputation can be found under searches for World Financial Group. I repeat: Federal Financial Group is a pyramid scam. Keep your money and run.

Since every member of FFG is required to produce new business, From Rick on down, IT IS NOT CORRECT TO CALL IT A PYRAMID.
A pryamid has money folowing from the bottom to the top with the top sitting back and enjoying the money coming in. Every one of the heirarchy (and the word doesn't fit them as they are avilable to all on a first name basis) must produce. I have been with FFG a little over 2 years. Another company I was with for a short time had us go out with a district "manager" to learn, with no compensation. FFG, if you set the appointemtnt while learning, the District Coordiater who closes the deal gets 50%.
Rick described our program not as a pyramid, but a hybrid.
Once you have the skills and pass the test of company standards*, you get 100% with a stippend to the Regional Manager.**
* A time tried "script" that helps an agent supply the needs of the consumer works; new agents attempt to reinvent the script (the wheel).
** Tis stippend is provided by the Insurance Companies FFG represents. Not out of an agent's commission

You might be right about doing well IF you have a good leader, I was stuck with Bill Butler in Phoenix, The man has the no leadership abilities and the personality of a fish. He claims to with FFG for 20 years but has not created ONE SINGLE Regional Manager, Bill Butler has about 6 agents in his offiice and NOBODY is making money.

We do have somewhere upwards of 70 offices (so many are opening up every year, it's hard to keep track). It's worth noting that FFG does not employ anyone beyond their home office. But hundreds of independent agents represent them. Since we are not salaried employees we cannot be counted as such. But there are many benefits in being associated with FFG, not the least of which is team support and training. As for the red flag you mentioned having to do with a yahoo e-mail address, if you look at the line underneath the e-mail address you mentioned (in the link you provided) you'll clearly see our web address, and it's easy to send an e-mail through our site. Clearly, if we're trying to be nebulous or hard to contact, we aren't doing a very good job of it. And why is using telemarketers a red flag? Businesses have been using these srtategies for many years. If we as consumers stayed away from businesses that used telemarketers our options would be sorely limited when it comes to professional services.

The BBB has a failed Rating...
I've seen postings claiming they have 70 - 80 offices, yet Linkedin has them at 11-50 employees. Do some employees man offices part time? RED FLAG
Their BBB Contact information is... a... yahoo account? RED FLAG!!!!
bbb.org/greater-san-francisco/business-reviews/financial-services/federal-financial-group-in-draper-ut-376487
Their claim to fame is as follows:
We also provide excellent training for our agents and employees, thus making our company one of the best places to work!
Whenever you hear reputable companies making claims of being a good place to work, they typically reference things like, Great in office child care, Industry Leading compensation, Paid Benefits, flexible schedules, Tuition reimbursement... This is the first time I have EVER read that providing training makes them a great place to work at. By that standard, any place of employment that provides any kind of training then becomes a great place to work.
RED FLAG
They have telemarketers from other countries call you at home in order to attempt to lure you into meeting with them.
RED FLAG
If it's a good place to work, generally there's a line at the door to work there, not a scam to lure you in.

I'm sorry your investment in your business did not work out for you. I don't agree that your banks' agreement to refund your money does constitutes settled facts or validation of your position. It only reflects your banks' willingness to accomodate you. I am a successful CPA, with a tax practice, wanting to expand my marketing and product offerings. I was willing to risk the nominal fee up front for that opportunity.
I'll just say that the training provided has been well worth the money for me, many times over. It has been not only usefull in presenting safe money retirement strategies for my clients and others, but has greatly increased my people skills in attracting and retaining new clients. After all, no matter what we do for a living, we are selling our worth and products to somebody. Call me satisfied.
People will get different results, primarily on how much they work at it and are able apply learned skill from the training in their business, any business. People will pay tuition and fees to a university to improve their income earning potential, but they must attend class, study, and apply themselves, or the fees will have been wasted. I was told up front, fees would be not refunded, but credited to me if I went on to actually sell products under the agency umbrella.
Good Luck in your future endeavers.

The writer may indeed have had a bad experience at FFG. I, however, did not. I worked directly under the personal tutelage of Lee Miles, Michigan Lead. He is a very forthright, honest, young man and represents the company well. This company is not a scam. They are who they purport to be. When you start, it IS a lot of hard work because you are starting your own personal business. You must memorize a script and tape yourself saying it. Anything worth while is worth working hard for. Leads are sent to you daily free of charge, so no cold calling. This is a tremendous help. If you have a good leader, he or she will go out on calls with you during your first few months. Your leader will also BE there for you if you have questions. A good leader takes you under his or her wing for at least the first three months, helping you so no details fall through the cracks. They check on you often to be sure you are not forgetting or missing important issues. When you go out on a call with your leader, take good notes so you can emulate their lines, their integrity and good character. The most difficult thing in starting is that it really is a good idea to have another job (at least part time) because it takes time for deals to be made and for money to start coming in. The one thing I had to watch out for was that Lee's administration team sometimes did not give me correct information at time it was required. I had to keep track of what each insurance company that I represented needed from me (i.e. testing dates from Aviva, American Equity, etc.). Not being signed up properly with all insurance agencies I represented cost me time and occassionally money. Once you start rolling along, you CAN succeed because although you may not be making the money you had hoped to start, in Michigan, you can depend that Lee Miles, and the men and women he has personally trained, will take the time you need to help you. They will treat you honestly and with the respect you deserve.

My Experience as a Consumer
#29Consumer Comment
Wed, July 10, 2013
I was contacted and agreed to an appointment with Sue Ferber-Goodspeed. I was told that I'd be given a $25 voucher for a loal restaurant for my time.
I made it clear to Sue over the phone that I had limited time available as I have my own clients who would not be kept waiting. She assured me that she would be on time. She was not. I arrived an hour early at work and waited for 30 minutes before she called to say she was running late. I waited another 15 minutes before she arrived.
I told Sue that she would have to leave once my client arrived. She started a spiel about "winning a war" with the IRS which, to me, sounded rediculous. My client arrived, but Sue kept talking. So I tried standing up, but she kept talking. I found her behavior deeply disrespectiful of my time, my client's time, and my business. I literally had to stand by the open door repeating that I was out of time for her. She finally left telling me that that she would send me a proposal.
I never saw or heard from her again. And needless to say, no voucher -- Just a total waste of my time.
I am now working very happily with Raymond James.

When I first wrote this I was upset and frustrated because it had taken so long for the California Insurance Department to issue my license after I had completed the requirements for licensure. It took almost three months. I was not legally able to sell insurance and earn commissions without this license. I took this frustration out on FFG.
After doing additional research I realized that many of my statements that I posted were not quite accurate. Federal Financial Group is not a scam and it is not a pyramid scheme. It is an Independent Marketing Organization, also known as a General Agency and represents many reputable insurance companies. They make their money, like all other IMOs and General Agencies by selling insurance products and getting paid commissions from the Insurance Carriers. Unlike a MLM or Pyramid scheme, FFG agents do not make an override on any other agent. Only those who are running regional offices can make an override; just like all Insurance General Agencies.
FFG does charge a new agent processing fee, which is refunded after a certain level of production is reached. This can take anywhere from two weeks to six months. The average is three months time. FFG does not use expensive reputation software to prevent web postings. You will see positive and negative comments on the web, just like most other companies, in all industries. One of the agents that helped me when I started had just left AXA. He was winding down his AXA business and was in the process of going full time with FFG, I assumed he was a manager, but he was just another agent willing to help a new agent. Many of the agents at FFG are full time; they do have some that work part time. However all of their Managers are full time.
Rick Dixon was an insurance agent with World Financial Group. He was not an owner. He left World Financial Group over ten years ago. The Federal Trade Commission is not investigating FFG. FFG is licensed and in good standing with each States Department of Insurance where they do business, currently over 30 states.

What I have to say will be brief and to the point. I know for a fact FFG is not an MLM nor is it a scam. I think maybe you have had a bad experience with a particular person, which I can see, but this is about perception. If you didn't get what you want out of it then truly ask yourself if you put what you needed to into it. As a professional in business and an entrepreneur I can say FFG is not a scam but truly an opportunity. However, you need to be up to challenge and understand this is truly what you make of it. Have you ever been your own boss? Most people think this is an amazing job until they are nudged out of the nest to fly and realize what they must do to be successful. This is truly a unique opportunity if you really give it the respect it deserves and put the time into it to be successful. In any case I am truly sorry you were not compatible with this truly amazing opportunity but is bashing it really make you feel better? Or would figuring out what you need to do, what the true secret to being successful really is an implementing that knowledge make more sense? Best of luck in your endeavours!

Ah Paulie Paulie Paulie,
Spoken like a good little soldier. Do you patrol these sites for FFG to make sure the company is seen is the best possible light? I said and you admit there is a 287 fee...again I think that is absurd but they do tell you up front, on that we agree..for what I have no clue, that was never explained. YOUR reason was because the manager must take the time out of his/her schedule/Hmmm, have you ever applied for other jobs where they said,m yes come by but bring 300 dollars and we will talk?
Paul I thin you would have made a good little soldier doing exactly what you are told to do, never questioning authority...putting your head in the sand////go along to get along...FFG seems to work for you and that's great but I am sorry it is not the end all be all for everyone else. I think given their piss poor commission structure, agents can make a hell of a lot more elsewhere.
Now go back and tell your managers what you should say to rebut my factual statements...

The Truth on FFG
#29UPDATE EX-employee responds
Tue, December 18, 2012
Wow,
Well here we go with the truth.
First you will pay $287.00 for what? God only knows. Paul says its because a Manager has to take time to talk with you..ok, perhaps he can pay ME for my time to speak with him too.
Second, they start you at 40% commission which is, on average, very LOW for the industry. Now before all you FFG people jump all over me saying "We give you leads" another fallacy. YOU the agent must procure 8 leads on your own, and have your manager go with you and you split the commission with him/her. Then after you have mastered their three part presentation and are videoed to see if you are up to par, then you are allowed to go out on your own.
Third, they say their are no quotas...WRONG. If you do not produce $7500 in production, you will be "retrained"
Fourth, their "hook" to get appointments IS the scratch card and now, offering a "FREE Cruise!" Awesome right? Check it out, because yes it is a cruise but it is for a Timeshare...nice huh? You will find out when you get there that you will spend a day getting hammered to buy a timeshare.
Does their system work for some people, yes. The managers are cleaning up the proletariat are living week to week...the last meeting I attened not ONE agent sold anything...this speaks volumes of their "success"
If you are a new agent, this is NOT a company to work with. Personally I think new agents should go captive that way they are properly trained. If not find a agency that is LOCAL that will spend the time necessary to ensure your success.
I hate to end on a wise guy note but I really believe the people at FFG drink the Kool aid given to them..to bad because some of the agents are great people who I know could do much better elsewhere but have been brainwashed...

I've been with FFG from the beginning and worked with the CEO for 16 yrs. During that time I've seen people
with no insurance experience become qualified producers in the industry making a respectable income in the process. My first year in the industry, I held a garage sale just to get enough money together to buy e-o and I purchased my
"business casual" at a thrift store. Success requires sacrifice and breaking a sweat. That being said and reading most of the comments regarding the "Hiring Fee" or having to memorize a script, I recognize most of these posts given I was the one who most likely processed the appointment paperwork. The $287 is returned if the applicant is declined by the Carrier due to Compliance, Credit, open bks, Vectors or Tax Liens. It also returned once a production goal is met. It is not returned if the applicant did not turn in the Supplemental Documentation asked for which is clearly spelled out in the Hiring Fee Disclosures and updates sent directly the applicant. We go in the hole on every New Hire until that person actually starts submitting
business and only if it sticks. The $287 doesn't even cover the cost for our Recruiter to speak to a potential new agent , let alone process the paperwork. I don't need this job, but I stay because of the miracles I see on a daily basis.

FFG is obviously not a scam, we have been successfully helping families, businesses, individuals, agents, and financial institutions for a decade now. We have nothing to do with "WFG" but we do apparently teach some similar principles of helping people get to financial independence. We are not what is known as a pyramid scheme. A pyramid is where only the top few people make money and make it from getting new people to sign up to be agents or reps of that company. we make nothing from recruiting agents, nothing. Our recruiting division is totally separate from the Agency side. We also have the reimbursement program for any recruiting fees which somehow you missed in all of your "reasearch." The appointment setting program is a totally different division as well and we (the agents, advisors and management) are. Of course attorneys have and will continue to "look into" what we do here and they continue to find that we are doing great things for people. That is why we still have such high ratings with the BBB and state institutions.
You will not find very many, if any, complaints about what we (the Insurance Agents, Advisors, Counselors, Coaches, etc) actually do for consumers. The only kinds of complaints one will see about FFG is usually just a disgruntled employee that did not get along with their manager or did not think we were serious when we say that we require an agent to be competent (memorize presentations) before we invest in them as an agent by providing leads. It was mentioned that you lost months of you life...that is the problem. Most agents are up and running in about 2 weeks.
I am not sure what took you months, maybe the system is not the problem, unless you are exaggerating? It took me 3 days (about 15-20 hours) to memorize the presentation, not a few months. If it took me several months to do 3 days worth of work, I would be upset as well. Managers employed elsewhere, hilarious. All our agents are non-captive, which means that they are welcome to be appointed with whatever companies they would like. All we ask, is that if you generate business from our leads, you run the business through our program to recoup the cost of generating those and more leads. We don't expect a new agent to just drop everything and go full time if that is not what they want to do. You said nobody gets by the script. This shows how little you actually know about FFG. The facts speak for themselves.
We have thousands of folks that have done exactly that, old, young, whoever puts the time in gets it done and the vast majority do. MLM? This could not be further from the truth. The only way to make money from something someone else does, is if you are the manager and you train an agent you would get a small percentages, about 10% of what they do, but it only goes that far. There are no upper levels or drilling down 8 generations or whatever happens in MLMs. This is no different than any business owner. If you want real info, call the local FFG office, talk to the regional manager, maybe even ask to talk to an agent or two and they will give you their honest opinion.

FriscoDisco,
Thank you for sharing your story. It is always important that all past employees have a place to share their level of success as a result of their attempts to administer our system. Those who adhere to the proven methods experience high success and stay
with the company.
We have made efforts to address your concerns with the rebuttals listed here before. We are sorry that your approach to our system did not work for you. We always strive for consistency in delivery of our system and we have about 4,000 employees who continue to do well with it. We have many employees who have stayed with the company for many years.
Again, I will attempt to address each one of your points:
In the insurance world most agents do work with several different companies. We like our agents to stay independent so that they have the freedom to select the best possible insurance to best serve their clients.
The Federal Trade Commission has nothing to do with insurance. Period.
We have no legal cases against us open or pending.
We have an optional recruiting fee which is paid by agents if they want us to do their recruiting. It is paid on a monthly basis and we spend almost an equivalent amount on the expenses of recruiting.
Federal Financial Group is not a pyramid or any kind of scheme. We maintain an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and we have been in business a long time.
There is no software used to maintain our reputation online. I am the director of social media and I am the only thing this company has to help maintain our good reputation online. In fact, I am requesting that you remove your complaint since it is ill-founded and appears to be lashing out due to the low success you experienced when you were not following the proven system of delivery.
Rick Dixon was with World Financial Group. He left and that speaks for itself. He should be commended and not condemned for his choice to leave.
Our company is not a spin-off of the World Financial Group. Period.
Again, we thank you for expressing your frustration and we have tried to address your concerns. Everyone who starts a new job takes the risk of the job either working out for them or not working out for them. Thank you for giving us a chance. We hope
that your future endeavors work out much better for you.

Definately Not a Pyramid

Federal Financial Group is an Insurance Agency that does not use MLM payouts. Every agent earns a % of what they sell. If one follows the program exactly as taught you will be successful. The Recruiting fee got me access to so much information and training materials it is well worth the $287.00 spent. FFG takes care of their Agents with weekly meetings, awesome yearly convention and pre-set appointments. As a sales gal, these are all things that motivate me to continue selling and making thousands of dollars weekly. Signing up with FFG does not mean that you do not have to work! It just makes your work a little easier.

Federal Financial Group is NOT a scam

Federal Financial Group is not a scam or a pyramid/MLM scheme as "FriscoDisco" has claimed. I have worked for Federal Financial Group for over 6 1/2 years. I have consistently made a 6 figure income ( or very close to it ) as long as I have been working here. I am just an agent. Not a manager. I don't work for any other company. I have over 325+ clients who are very happy with me, Federal Financial Group and the product I have sold them. I too spend time learning the scrip, as he describes, but I was immediately able to start earning a great income as soon as I started running appointment on my own. I haven't had any trouble since. The commission split is very fair considering FFG provides me with all of my appointments, at no cost to me. I haven't done any prospecting in 6.5 years. I have loved working for FFG and feel it been the best company I have worked with in over 30 years of employment.
