Complaint Review: WFG - Nationwide

Aye ..  first they accused WFG of running a Pyramid scam without any success because the company is federally-regulated, they now turned to falsifying information

the original poster couldn't possibly have been recruited by WFG as claimed.   There are so many falsified info on here that presented as factual simply because this person claimed to be strong advocate of truths and allowed him/herself recruited by WFG...   I will not attempt to address all claims presented in the original post, but one ...   the $100 membership fee!

Keep in mind, you'll be an Independent Contractor, not employee!

If he was actually recruited, he would have known there are more to the fee than simply background check...

1.  the fee pays for background check as reported; as a client, you don't want criminals coming to your house to write policies, do you? (my son applied for a Pharm Tech license and I don't recall getting a report back either, so there!)

2.  some will go to administrative effort; hey, the secretary needs to get paid too!

3.  you'll be assigned an office space to conduct your office professionally;  try renting an office space yourself and see how far you can get with $100?

4.  your membership allows you to do business in all 50 states; if you were gonna do the filings on your own, how much efforts and know-hows do you think you'll need?  I'd pay $500 for this alone!

5.  your membership provides discount to Life Agent licensing 52-hr online-course ($40 or less on a $100+ course), even if you don't work with WFG, this alone can get you licensed so you can work elsewhere as an insurance agent or open your own business

6.  all offices amenities including copy machine, coffee, etc;  bring your laptop & some donuts

7. free training and support, not only from your trainer but from anyone and everyone;  WFG has daily trainings on product they represent and multiple support sessions a week for those whom might be struggling.  Members also shared their success stories and case studies so you can learn how to apply so you can also be successful like others...   Basically, WFG wants you to succedd because if you don't make money, they got nothing!    

MY $100 well spent!   how was yours?

BTW, WFG encourages members to immediately obtain the Life Agent license within 2-3 weeks of joining because w/o it, you can't legally sell, hence will not be able to make commission...  WFG makes sure you hit the ground running, but if you are a slacker or slow learner like myself, you still can immediately make money by simply referring potential client to other services WFG represents like home/auto/business insurance...  easy money here but if you want to make it big, you need to follow the system.

Since i'm rolling, i'll point out another important fact that the original poster attempted to falsify...

***  Commission starts at 30% as trainee, and 45% as Associate, and so on...   higher depending on how much effort you want to put in...  Also, commission is 6-level deep where top-link makes ONLY 1% of your sale effort ... hardly justified for all the mentoring/traning/support effort they invested in you to ensure your success in this business  ****

so if you want to know the truth, get yourself actually recruited...    $100 is a small price to pay!   If you could burn $100 in slot machine with apparently little chance (1% optimistically) to hit that triple 7, but you don't want to take advantage of what WFG has to offer to secure your financial future and (50% chance) make money while helping others, then I rest my case  :-(

Even if you don't want to join, talk to a WFG agent anyway  to see how they can help make you money wise because that is our mission.

Cheers to a more secured financial future!
