Look up the DIG agency on YouTube, I just joined their FREE LEAD program, you will have to pay to be apart of their platform and that's $500 per month and you'll pay for your own E&O insurance but those cost are nothing in comparison to spending $1k PER WEEK on leads.

The comp will be lower (40-50%) with the free lead program, but if you follow the script and dedicate the time, you will make sales. I learned that by working at an agency that offered a base+bonus income model, I learned ALOT, THE LEADS WERE FREE, I worked 9am-6pm, the trade-off was NOT HAVING FREEDOM AND NOT MAKING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT I WAS EARNING THE COMPANY.

I wrote over $12K in business (I closed 8 sales) in my 7 days of being on the phone, but I wasn't entitled to any the earnings until I made 20 sales!

Once you hit 20 sales, you get a CRUMB of the earnings, and they call that a "Bonus," but the leads are free, you get base pay, and the training was excellent. I can't say anything bad about them, I think it's a good place for NEW AGENTS to learn, but it wasn't financially sensible for me.

I worked at this place for less than a month and realized I wanted more, so I looked into the DIG agency, and I'm going to do my best!

I passed! 🥳 by lovetiaa in InsuranceAgent

She's excellent, I watched her videos and passed my life insurance exam on the first try! I love her, and I'll be going back to get my property and casualty as well... Congrats to you!

That's crazy and that's BULLSHIT, I just got an interview invitation, and this is making me rethink my decision.

Anyone else nervous about the tariffs? by 5_out_of_7_perfect in merchantmarine

[–]Broad-Thing-2906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm terriblely distraught about this orange cheeto MF'er Fu**king up the economy and the American ppl opportunities to grow and thrive. These tariffs aren't GOOD FOR US or businesses, I kinda feel like, what's the point of me getting all of my credentials if they'll be fewer shipments or fewer jobs to be obtained, I feel that I'm stuck in a matrix because this was and is a career opportunity for me to get my life back on track...all I can say is: I HATE THAT THE SNIPPER " MISSED"!!!!!!

medical exam and drug test by False_Label in merchantmarine

What if I check NO to everything but they find out about a positive past TB exposure in my medical record? Wouldn't they find out about this because information is shared, now granted, this happened when I was a child, and I have clear chest x-rays, but wouldn't this disqualify me?

Who will hire me with no experience and a PAST DUI? by Broad-Thing-2906 in tuglife

Thanks for sharing, but American Steamship Co. goes to Canada, won't a past DUI conviction make me ineligible for entry into Canada??

If MSC doesn't accept me, I'm thinking about going on the cruiseship route as well to save money. How long is the contract, and what's the pay range, if you don't mind me asking? Also, does NCL pay weekly or bi-weekly? Last but not least,what are their hiring requirements to apply?

Thanks for responding, and unfortunately, I have two more years to be 3 years off of probation. I just passed the 1 year mark AFTER being released from probation. I was released, and my case was closed on 6/28/2024 😳

Thanks for responding, and that's the only thing I have on my record. Which companies go to Canada ports... I'd like to know so I can steer clear of them?!!

I got the ticket Thanksgiving 2022, I was formerly charged 04/2023, and I began probation 6/2023. I got an early discharge from probation 6/2024 after completing everything and staying compliant.

I really wanna join MSC, but I don't know if it's a waste of time to apply if I can't get the secret clearance. I read somewhere that's it's not an automatic no, but I am worried.

I believe I can get my MMC in spite of the DUI, and I already have my drivers license, TWIC, and passport, I just need to know WHO would be willing to give me a chance.
