Section 5: I Don't Want to Involve Family and Friends
You need to totally explore what Primerica does for people before making that decision. Here's something to start with:
I can totally understand you not wanting to involve them if you are unaware of or unimpressed with the products and services.
We really do two things in this company. We show people how to make money and we show people how to save money. Which of those two things would you want to shield your family and friends from? If our product was the cure for cancer and you knew many people who have cancer, you really wouldn't want to involve them? When I ask people what they would do to put the word out on what they're doing if they were to start "a business", almost all of them state on their own, that they would talk to people "who they know" about it.
There are people who believe that Primerica is the reason that they damaged their reputation with people who they know. I sympathize with those people and understand the frustration.
If someone joins Primerica and gets a poor result when they talk to a relative or friend, it can only be one or a combination of three reasons:
1. the relative/friend is just the wrong person,
2. the trainee has poor credibility with the relative/friend,
3. the trainee was sloppy in the way he/she delivered the message and/or followed up. There's a difference between chasing and being pleasantly persistent.
Can one truly blame Primerica for the circumstances surrounding the people who they know? Can Primerica truly be blamed for their credibility issues? Can one honestly blame Primerica for the way in which the trainee delivered the message to them and/or followed up afterwards assuming that they were given proper coaching?
I really do understand why one would be upset but when it comes to success, you have to be willing to take a risk or two, right? Networking through family and friends has proven to be the best and easiest way to build a proper profitable Primerica business.
Primerica Truism: if one does not have a sizeable warm market with the willingness to properly make use of it OR the willingness to REALLY work hard, then the Primerica system probably can't and won't deliver for that person.
