JOB VS. GFI AGENCY OWNER
JOB VS. GFI AGENCY OWNER

Job: Paid more than your value at the start, but as value increases, pay does not. Your value = cost to the company. GFI: Little to no profit at the beginning, but as value increases, so does your pay. Your value starts at $0 (until licensed) — then grows without limit.

BUILT LIKE A FRANCHISE

GFI Agency Owner: Focuses on licensed distribution outlets and training new owners, simple duplicatable system, in the distribution of financial services — total cost $199. Without the franchise costs.

THE POWER OF TEAMWORK

Could you run a McDonald's on your own? You need a team. Would you want to run your agency alone? Or would you rather have a team to help you? Together we can accomplish more than any individual.

Points = Annual Life Premium or Annuity Premium × Conversion Rate. EMD Personal: 5,000 pts/week × 85% = $221,000/year. Agency (10 agents at 5,000/week): 2,600,000 pts/year × 35% = $910,000/year. Total combined: $1,131,000/year.

Four goals to focus on: 1) Earn your Senior Associate Promotion — 10% pay raise. 2) Become fully licensed and appointed. 3) Complete your field training process — learn to help clients. 4) Make your 1st $10,000 — let the cash flow begin. Stay focused on these four and everything else falls into place. Let's get you off to a fast start!
